Stability Fee Increases through Governance Votes

A series of Governance votes this month resulted in an overall stability fee increase to 7.5%. Actors that drove the increase include exchange prices persisting below $1, high inventory levels among market makers and prop desks, and no attributable impact from earlier fee increases.

Update on Multi-Collateral Dai

Our main focus in the past few months has been the development and release of the Multi-Collateral Dai (MCD) core contracts on the Kovan testnet as we work toward a full MCD mainnet release. We’ve also focused on contract interaction with our core products and tools. In our latest published update, The Road to Multi-Collateral Dai, we provide an overview of how to get started, including a breakdown of how to get Kovan-ETH and K-Collateral Tokens.

Maker a Hit at EthCC 2019 Paris

Ethereum developers from around the world gathered at the EthCC 2019 conference in Paris in early March. Coinhouse, sponsor of the event, noted the following in its wrap-up: “The name of the conference was EthCC, but it could have been called MakerCC, as almost every project has taken an interest in using MakerDAO and especially the DAI stable coin. It is quite incredible how DAI is imposing itself as a standard for exchanging non-volatile value on top of the Ethereum network.” So proud of the Maker team!
