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.
