π΅ In short, Maker is tokenizing the traditional financial instruments and putting it into work for creating a decentralized stable currency as an instant liquidity source.
9/21
π¦ Another great example is the vault that one of the biggest european banks, @SocieteGenerale, has proposed to open with tokenized bonds.
π€ So, the question is: If there are real world assets that @MakerDAO can bring into crypto for generating liquidity through Dai, how can we use that value proposition to fund the world's cure?
π It can't be too complicated at all.
11/21
π Imagine there's a company that is installing clean energy sources in emerging countries at an affordable cost for families living in the area who have never had access to electricity.
12/21
π° What if Maker can provide liquidity to fund a project like this through a senior credit position that an investor can guarantee by tokenized assets of the project's company?
13/21
β‘οΈ What if @MakerDAO decides to ensure that its collateral from RWA is always coming from projects that removes its carbon footprint or that produce renewable energy?
14/21
π€ @MakerDAO and the blockchain can always assure that their collareal are following these purposes, and then, Dai will become a decentralized, stable and clean currency.
15/21
π But it's not just about "fixing the problem that is in the public eye". It's about sustainability too.
π The problem that we would tackle could have unintended consequences for the global economy.
16/21
β»οΈ If the world as we know it could do a 180-degree turn, the financial system is also supposed to
If we assure that our entire system is backed by sustainable and climate-aligned collateral, we would be becoming a resilient financial system in the face of possible crises
17/21
β»οΈππ° Maker can be part of the solution and can be prepared for the futurist-sustained finance.
18/21
π Dai could become the clean money for the world as a stable, decentralized and sustainable currency
Clean as they are funding the planet's cure
Clean as they are created through climate stability collateral
Clean as they are fully working by a decentralized governance
19/21
βοΈ With a brighter future for a sustainable and climate focused economy, the Clean Dai would drive big benefits for $MKR holders, who would also execute this sustainable purpose by voting on the best projects with better risk, benefit and planet-oriented metrics.
20/21
π Remember that, as humanity, we have to reduce our CO2 emissions according to the graph below to prevent consequences that would be impossible to mitigate.
β‘οΈ Remember that, Dai can fund and be part of that graph.
1β£ This is the first thread that follows the "clean money" series.
β Stay tuned for more threads about the source article of @runekek
π₯ You are walking through your Maker Vault and suddenly this capybara has appeared!
βοΈ This is the Dai Protector, a capybara from @CryptopetsAR with a sword and a Dai-branded shield that is always ready to protect your collateral, your Dai and your entire Maker Vault.
π Thanks to @CryptopetsAR for this custom MakerDAO NFT.
π¬ The Dai Protector capybara comes with a proprietary built-in CryptoTag that can be scanned to activate the augmented reality technology.
πΎ In the same way, all of the 9,999 unique pets have this amazing feature!
βοΈ All CryptoPets live in the Solana blockchain and can be viewed in augmented reality just by scanning their identifier QR code.
Dai is almost ready to jump into ... Arbitrum π₯
Maker Protocol Engineering CU are working to connect Dai to @arbitrum rollups solution. They will conduct a final audit of the Custom DAI Gateway before the launching πͺ
What is Arbitrum? How does it work? Thread time! π

ποΈ What is a rollup?
A rollup is a scalability solution in which transactions are written on Ethereum, but the actual computation and storage of the contract are done off-chain
Transactions are executed on a chain that runs a version of the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM)
3/15
βοΈ After executing transactions, the rollup batchs them together and posts them to the main Ethereum chain.
ποΈ We can think of the assertion as "rolling up" all of the calls and their results into a single on-chain transaction.
If you put crypto into a Maker Vault you can issue Dai. But, your crypto must have a greater value than the issued Dai. That relation of values has a required minimum level, and when your crypto falls below it, it's a FATALITY (Liquidation) time
How it works? Thread timeπ
2/15
π± Liquidation is the process of selling collateral to cover the amount of Dai a user has issued from their Vault.
It ensures that Dai is always backed by an appropriate amount of collateral by closing-out Vaults that are under their min. required Collateralization Ratio.
3/15
πΌ Let's assume you issued 10,000 Dai through a Vault in which you put 6 ETH and the current value of your 6 ETH is 18k USD (1 ETH = 3k USD). Ok! Your Vault is healthy, because your Collateralization Ratio is above 150%. Actually, this Ratio is 180% with the current values.
β Core Units completed the final decentralization of @MakerDAO and its protocol
Now the workforce of a DeFi protocol that generates hundreds of millions in revenue is fully decentralized
How do Core Units work and why are they the future of work? Time for a new thread π
2/14
π From the beginning, Maker was conceived as an entirely decentralized organization. But for this to become a reality, it was necessary to build a solid base.
For this reason it started as a Foundation with employees in a traditional scheme.
3/14
π― This year the objectives of the Foundation were achieved, and therefore it was dissolved.
π¨βππ§βπSo, without a Foundation, where is the workforce of the people who will continue to keep working and growing Maker? Core Units have arrived!
MakerDAO launched 1,000,000 MKR tokens at its inception, but 991,328 is its current maximum total supply according to @etherscan.
The +8.000 MKR "missing" are really burned! π₯
Why is MKR supply dynamic and how does it work? It's time for a thread! π
2/12
β MKR is the governance token of MakerDAO. Its main functionality is to be used as vote power to approve or reject improvements and changes to the Maker ecosystem. But, actually there is another reason why MKR exists.
3/12
π€ The token also acts as a source of incentives to govern the system well. This is because its supply can change according to the situations presented by the Maker protocol.
