The amount of Circle's USDC stablecoin backing MakerDAO's DAI has decreased to 23.6%, down from 50% in August 2020. This has reduced concerns over DAI's centralization, as real-world assets are now taking up a larger portion of DAI's backing. MakerDAO currently holds short-term US government bonds worth $1.12 billion, managed by DeFi asset manager Monetalis Clydesdale, and Gemini's GUSD and Paxos's USDP stablecoin account for 20.8% of DAI's collateral share. However, DAI is still exposed to US regulations through companies like Coinbase and BlockTower.

Despite being the largest stablecoin backed by a DAO, DAI is facing challenges in competing with USDC and USDT. Its network growth is declining, indicating reduced interest from new addresses, raising questions about its ability to maintain its position as the leading DAO-backed stablecoin.

The MakerDAO community is preparing for a significant vote on a proposal to increase the Dai stablecoin savings rate to 3.33%, which could have wide-ranging impacts on the DeFi ecosystem. The Dai Savings Rate (DSR) is a key monetary driver in MakerDAO's ecosystem, providing users with a steady interest rate on their deposits. The revenue to fund the DSR comes from stability fees paid by users who lend DAI against collateralized assets. The vote, which is imminent, will also consider adjustments to stability fees on certain collateral classes.

MakerDAO, a decentralized autonomous organization, is set to approve governance proposals that will enforce anonymity for delegates. The proposals have received over 88% of votes in favor of approving the changes.

MakerDAO, the DeFi project behind DAI stablecoin, has announced a major update called "Endgame" that aims to enhance efficiency, resilience, and participation by using AI tools to optimize processes. The update will be launched in five phases, with the first phase focusing on improving the scalability and efficiency of the Maker Protocol. The subsequent phases will introduce the SubDAO framework, enhance the governance mechanism, introduce new collateral types, and focus on the project's long-term sustainability. The ultimate aim is to create an unbiased world currency that is not necessarily pegged to the USD.

MakerDAO, the organization behind DAI stablecoin and MKR governance token, has announced a series of updates to its ecosystem.

MakerDAO has unveiled a governance model that will utilize artificial intelligence (AI) and introduce new crypto tokens under a new brand. The AI tools will create a "governance equilibrium" that guides development, while the new tokens will unite the Maker governance token (MKR) and the Dai stablecoin (DAI).

MakerDAO, the decentralized platform behind the DAI stablecoin, has released a roadmap for a major update called Endgame. The update aims to improve efficiency, resilience, and participation by using AI tools and open, scalable processes. The short-term goal is to become the most widely-used stablecoin project within three years. The update will include a unified brand identity, six new SubDAOs, and a new blockchain that is tightly coupled to Ethereum. The deployment of the new blockchain will be the final step in the Endgame launch process, leading to a decentralized, self-sustainable, and immutable ecosystem.

MakerDAO, a decentralized autonomous organization operating on the Ethereum blockchain and issuing stablecoin DAI, has launched the Spark Protocol, a lending solution for DAI users. The platform provides users with supply and borrowing features for cryptocurrencies such as ETH, stETH, DAI, and sDAI, and aims to offer competitive interest rates. The Spark Protocol is linked to Maker's D3M system, which enables interaction between the Maker ecosystem and third-party lending pools, and promises to enhance MakerDAO's DAI lending capabilities and increase liquidity. MakerDAO recently proposed a new "constitution" to formalize its governance processes and safeguard against potential threats from malicious actors.

On March 20, a vote was opened for the MakerDAO community to ‘normalize’ the parameters of the Price Stability Module (PSM). As a result, USDC remained the main reserve asset of PSM.

Fortune has launched its Crypto 40 benchmark, ranking the top 5 firms in the crypto space across eight categories, including CeFi, TradFi, VC, NFTs, Data, Infrastructure, DeFi, and Protocols. Empirical metrics and surveys of over 200 financial executives conducted by Researchscape were used to find the top 40 firms, with the Ethereum Foundation topping the Protocols category and Coinbase coming in first in the CeFi category.

The lending platform MakerDAO has approved a new constitution and is moving forward with its endgame plan. The endgame plan is designed to transition the platform from a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) to a more centralized structure, in order to improve its efficiency and scalability.

Although USDC experienced a temporary depeg earlier this month, an overwhelming majority of the MakerDAO have chosen to retain their faith in the world’s second-largest stablecoin, dismissing any other viable options.

Leading decentralized finance protocol, MakerDAO [MKR], has proposed changes to its Peg Stability Module (PSM) operations in response to DAI’s recent loss of parity with the US dollar. The proposal seeks community approval to adjust the PSM parameters. These were previously adjusted through a series of emergency proposals to prevent the stablecoin’s permanent de-pegging.

In the past week, MakerDAO has experienced a drop in total value locked (TVL), the supply of DAI, and annualized fee income, signaling some potential trouble for one of the world’s largest stablecoin issuers.
