Maker

Maker (the Maker Protocol / MakerDAO) is a decentralized finance protocol on Ethereum that issues the Dai and USDS stablecoins against on-chain collateral, governed by holders of the MKR governance token. a16z crypto is a long-standing backer, having acquired a significant share of the MKR supply. The protocol is transitioning to the Sky ecosystem (Sky Protocol, USDS, and the SKY token). Its developer surface is on-chain: Ethereum smart contracts documented for integrators, a Chainlog contract registry, and a governance Vote Data API, rather than a traditional hosted REST/OpenAPI product. This profile captures Maker/Sky's public developer, documentation, and security surface for the API Evangelist network.

Maker is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, DeFi, Blockchain, Ethereum, and Stablecoin.

Maker’s developer surface includes developer portal, documentation, getting-started guide, engineering blog, support, and 7 more developer resources.
