As the launch season approaches, MakerDAO is preparing to introduce two new tokens - NewStable and NewGovToken.
Explore the details below ↓
After the upcoming brand reveal, the new tokens will be introduced into the ecosystem.
NewStable (NST) is the codename for the upgraded version of Dai, tailored for broader adoption and designed with enhanced stability features. The official name will be unveiled through the brand reveal.
NewGovToken (NGT) represents a refined approach to governance within our ecosystem. It’s designed to encourage wider participation and more dynamic decision-making. The final name will also be shared through the brand reveal.
The conversion process for token holders is straightforward:
• For NewStable (NST): Dai holders can seamlessly upgrade to NewStable, enjoying the flexibility to revert back to Dai as desired.
• For NewGovToken (NGT): Each Maker token (MKR) can be converted into 24,000 NGT. This redenomination aims to encourage wider participation in governance activities.
These additions represent an expansion and will not replace the existing Dai (DAI) and Maker (MKR) tokens. Users will have the option to transition to NewStable and NewGovToken.
Now, let’s talk about key functionalities:
NewStable
• NewStable will be accessible to both new users and existing Dai holders. Existing users can upgrade their Dai, with the flexibility to convert their holdings back to Dai whenever they choose.
• NST holders can engage in farming to earn NGT right from launch.
• 600 million NGT will be distributed annually to participating NST holders through farming.
• Farming will not be available to US residents or users employing VPNs.
• The official name of NST will be unveiled through the new brand reveal.
NewGovToken
• MKR holders will have the option to upgrade their tokens to NewGovToken, the new governance token within the ecosystem. Importantly, this upgrade process offers seamless conversion back to MKR, ensuring flexibility for users.
• The total supply of NewGovToken has been strategically redenominated in comparison to MKR. Therefore, during the upgrade, each MKR will convert to 24,000 NewGovToken.
• This redenomination of NewGovToken (24,000 NewGovToken per 1 MKR) is intended to promote broader engagement in governance. It allows more users to hold a significant number of NewGovToken and actively influence the future of the ecosystem.
• The official name of NewGovToken will be revealed through the new brand reveal.
In a nutshell, what’s next?
• Access to new features and opportunities: By transitioning to the updated tokens, you'll gain access to the latest functions in the upcoming stage of the Maker ecosystem.
• Flexibility and choice: You have the option to continue using Dai and MKR or switch to the new tokens when it suits you.
• This is a glimpse into the future: The new ecosystem will introduce new Farming products and the Lockstake Engine to boost participation. These tools encourage engagement and provide entry into our ever-evolving ecosystem, appealing to both new and existing users.

The Spark team loved working with such brilliant minds who created amazing projects on Maker, Spark, and sDAI.
Among all the great participants, we've awarded our prizes totaling 12,000 DAI to the selected projects:
↓
🥇 Claiming the top spot for the best use of Conduits:
DustConduit — 2,000 DAI
Implemented the IAllocatorConduit to mediate between SubDAOs and external protocols, thus facilitating the standardized flow of DAI between SubDAOs and yield opportunities.
🥈 Taking second place for the best use of Conduits:
RWA Yield — 1,000 DAI
Leverages the MakerDAO ecosystem to allow loans against tokenized assets. Users pledge RWAs, and receive DAI loans through an automated dividend-paying protocol.
sDAI (Savings DAI) is the new tokenized version of DSR-enabled DAI.
Fully powered by the DSR, it is an ERC-4626 token that offers enhanced integrations and gas efficiency for a better user experience.
How does it work? ↓
Recently the DSR went from 1% to 3.49%, enabling a higher yield natively streamed to all DAI holders that opt in.
sDAI implements a tokenized EIP-4626 compliant wrapper for DAI deposited into the DSR, converting the DSR-deposited position into a token you can hold and use.
The sDAI token allows users to interact with the DSR through the following methods:
• Deposit DAI into the DSR by calling SavingsDAI's mint method.
• Withdraw DAI from the DSR by calling SavingsDAI's burn method.
The proposal titled RWA014-A (Coinbase Custody) DAO Resolution, suggests the following changes to the Maker Protocol:
As per the latest forum post by the Stability Scope Responsible Facilitators, the approval of this executive proposal will signal Maker Governance's agreement to the following DAO Resolution to James Asset Trust 3 (JAT3).
The MakerDAO governance resolution is a standing instruction to JAT3 requesting and ratifying the trustee to follow a sequence of actions when requested by Monetalis, during defined protocol conditions:
Announcing the Dai Savings Rate (DSR) increase to 3.49%
Prepare for a new baseline yield that will redefine the landscape of decentralized finance.
The DSR is raised from 1% to 3.49%, effective June 19th, at 14:00 UTC.
By opting in, DAI holders earn a consistent yield regardless of the size of their deposits, constantly streamed by the Maker Protocol’s surplus.
The Maker Protocol, which generates substantial revenue from real-world assets and stablecoin sources, is redirecting this revenue to all DAI holders who choose to deposit into the DSR.
