About Maker

MakerDAO is a Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) and open-source project on the Ethereum blockchain, created in 2014. Its governance token, MKR, is used by people around the world to manage the Maker Protocol and its financial risks. MKR voting power is proportional to the amount of MKR a voter stakes in the voting contract, DSChief. Maker Protocol enables users to create currency and is governed by MKR holders deciding on key parameters (stability fees, collateral types/rates, etc.) The Maker Protocol is the first DeFi application to earn significant adoption. The Maker Foundation is part of the global Maker community and works towards decentralizing the project.
MakerDAO has announced its strategic transition into Sky, encompassing the introduction of two new tokens - Sky Dollar (USDS) and the SKY governance token - as part of its "Endgame" overhaul. Effective from September 18, 2024, this transition offers DAI and MKR holders the option to upgrade their tokens to USDS and SKY, respectively. It's important to note that both original tokens, DAI and MKR, will continue to be available, with their functionality unchanged for the foreseeable future. This approach allows participants in the MakerDAO ecosystem to either stick with the established tokens or opt for the new tokens, which are integrated with enhanced features and governance capabilities.

The Maker Protocol, built on the Ethereum blockchain, enables users to create currency. Current elements of the Maker Protocol include the Dai stablecoin, Maker Collateral Vaults, Oracles, and Voting. MakerDAO governs the Maker Protocol by deciding on key parameters (e.g., stability fees, collateral types/rates, etc.) through the voting power of MKR holders.

The Maker Protocol, one of the largest decentralized applications (dapps) on the Ethereum blockchain, was the first decentralized finance (DeFi) application to earn significant adoption. As part of the transition to Sky, governance functions will gradually be integrated into the new SKY token, while USDS will serve as the next phase of MakerDAO’s stablecoin model.

The Maker Foundation, which is part of the global Maker community, built and launched the Maker Protocol in conjunction with a number of outside partners. It is currently working with the MakerDAO community to bootstrap decentralized governance of the project and drive it toward complete decentralization.
MakerDAO was created by Rune Christensen in March 2015 and the Maker Foundation was established in 2014. The Maker token (MKR) was launched in August 2015 and the first MakerDAO and DAI white paper was published in December 2017. MCD became live in 2019 and half a billion DAI was generated from crypto assets approved by Maker Governance in September 2020.

Onyxcoin Survived Collapse While Others Died

Onyxcoin Survived Collapse While Others Died

Onyxcoin (XCN) should not still exist. The protocol behind it was hacked twice through the same CompoundV2 precision bug, the second time for more than $3.8 million in September 2024, and dozens of similar forks simply died. Instead, XCN trades around $0.0049 with a $186 million market cap, 97% below its 2022 all-time high. What kept it alive was not a slick press release but a DAO that put the rebuild to an on-chain vote: new architecture, a fresh whitepaper, gas-free wallets, and the Goliath proof-of-stake Layer 1, whose mainnet went live on March 27, 2026. The catch is that shipping products and seeing them adopted are very different things. Infrastructure and price still do not match up, and a live governance proposal to end all future token unlocks could flip the supply story deflationary. For any Onyxcoin price prediction in 2026, the real question is whether the rebuilt community can generate organic demand, or whether XCN keeps trading on listing pumps and milestone hype.

CRO Burn Erased Seventy Billion Without Price Move

CRO Burn Erased Seventy Billion Without Price Move

Cronos (CRO) is the native ERC-20 utility token of the Cronos blockchain, an EVM-compatible proof-of-stake Layer 1 launched by Crypto.com to support DeFi, NFTs, gaming, and payment applications, with native integration into the Crypto.com exchange ecosystem and its 150+ million customer base. CRO trades around $0.07 with a market cap near $3.2B, ranked #34 on CoinGecko, with circulating supply of roughly 44 billion against a 100 billion max supply. The token sits roughly 92% below its all-time high of $0.8915 reached in late 2021. Crypto.com's deflationary burn schedule originally removed 70 billion CRO from circulation in 2021, though reissuances and reversals have complicated the supply picture since. Trump Media holds 756 million CRO tokens originally purchased for $113.9 million.

Kamino Solana Vault Strategies Explained for Actual Humans

Kamino Solana Vault Strategies Explained for Actual Humans

Kamino Finance (KMNO) is a Solana-based DeFi protocol unifying lending, automated liquidity, and leverage in a single product suite. KMNO trades around $0.02 with a $96M market cap and 4.4 billion circulating supply, ranked #308 on CoinGecko. Kamino Solana vaults have generated north of $1.6 billion in deposits while the lending markets have paid out close to $250 million in interest since launch. The token is down 91% from its $0.2477 December 2024 peak, with continued unlock pressure: 229.17 million KMNO ($4.98M) released on April 30, 2026. Recent catalysts include the Anchorage Digital institutional borrowing infrastructure and RockawayX's RWA vault aggregating exposure to OnRe, Huma, Figure, and Solstice. The thesis: Kamino isn't selling yield, it's selling automation of decisions retail liquidity providers cannot reliably make manually.
