Maker has its sights firmly set on launching Multi-Collateral Dai this summer, but in the meantime, there are some needed milestones that must be hit prior to going live. The release of the Maker Foundation Proposal is one of them, and read beyond it to see all the other things the team is working on putting into place to generate momentum for launch.

Heavy Reading: The Maker Foundation Proposal

Rune released the Maker Foundation Proposal this past Wednesday. With the first ever public MKR vote approaching, this proposal gives a look into how Maker is thinking about achieving decentralized governance.

We held a community meeting with Rune on Friday morning with the purpose of discussing the key topics and addressing questions. If you missed it, you can watch below, or on our YouTube channel. This first meeting focused largely on the 20 Percent Principle.

In the coming weeks, we’ll be holding a series of these meetings so that we can better dive into the different sections of the proposal and speak to each other’s questions. Feel free to reach out with questions on reddit so we can plan to speak to these in future meetings.
