Maker Price

What is Maker

Maker (MKR) is best understood as part of a larger system that also includes the Dai stablecoin.

MKR token helps ensure the price of Dai remains stable, even though Dai does not have a single centralized reserve. 

Note that MKR is not a stablecoin: the price of Maker can and does fluctuate. In fact, these price movements help keep Dai stable. 

Understanding MKR price movement

Maker worth is closely connected to the Dai stablecoin.

First, it is used to govern Dai. As a decentralized token, Dai is governed by holders of Maker who vote on different proposals on the protocol. The increased use of Dai also drives the demand for MKR, pushing the Maker price higher.

Maker also is used to maintain the stability of Dai. Under certain circumstances, the protocol can either create or destroy new Maker tokens, which are then used to either issue new Dai or remove it from the market. This, in turn, affects the MKR price.
