DeFi Giant MakerDAO Integrates Blockchain Data Provider Chainlink for DAI Stablecoin

MakerDAO, one of the largest decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms, successfully onboarded blockchain data provider Chainlink’s smart contract automation into its Keeper system that maintains the stability of Maker’s DAI stablecoin, Chainlink Labs announced Thursday in a press release.

Chainlink Automation will run specific tasks, including price updates, liquidity balancing for the DAI Direct Deposit Module (D3M) and debt ceiling upgrades for assets held as collateral, according to the press release.

“This network of automated bots perform essential tasks to maintain the Maker protocol and will be greatly expanded through the integration with Chainlink’s renowned, hyper-reliable automation platform,” Nadia Álvarez, a member of MakerDAO’s Growth Core Unit, said in a statement.

Christensen stated that there are reports that financial regulatory authorities in Europe may require every DeFi frontend in the region to register and operate under a license. He is concerned about the potential impact of this decision and stated that "it would make DeFi frontends based on regular internet domain names unfeasible." Additionally, Christensen explained in detail that only decentralized or locally downloaded frontends can operate, as well as those that adopt KYC measures and procedures.
