Hedge Against Volatility

FAQs

What is the role of the MKR Token?

The MKR token—the governance token of the Maker Protocol—allows those who hold it to vote on changes to the Maker Protocol, such as adding a new collateral asset, changing the risk parameters of existing assets, or modifying ​the Dai Savings Rate. Anyone can submit proposals for an MKR vote, not just MKR holders.

The governance mechanism of the Maker Protocol is designed to be as flexible as possible, and upgradeable. Should the system mature under the guidance of the community, more advanced forms of proposals could, in theory, be used.
