Maker (MKR) is now available for buying and trading commission-free*, as well as transfers on the Voyager app.
Maker (MKR) acts as a governance token and is used by its holders to vote on a variety of things. Voting is done inside Maker Protocol on a number of different topics ranging from decisions regarding fees to debt ceilings; this voting helps govern Maker Protocol, the smart contracts that power DAI.
Maker DAO is a decentralized autonomous organization on the Ethereum blockchain. The MKR token is a speculative Ethereum-based asset that backs the value of DAI, a stable price stable coin issued on Ethereum. Maker earns a continuous fee on all outstanding dai in return for governing the system and taking on the risk of bailouts. Maker’s income is funneled to MKR owners through a Buy Back program.
