Token information

What is Maker (MKR)?

Maker (MKR) is a governance token for MakerDAO, a decentralized finance protocol built on Ethereum. MKR holders vote on system parameters and risk management decisions. The protocol enables users to lock crypto collateral and mint DAI, an Ethereum-native stablecoin designed to maintain a $1 peg. Maker launched in 2014 and introduced DAI in 2017, establishing one of the earliest decentralized stablecoin systems.

The Maker price API returns real-time MKR price data aggregated from trade activity across on-chain and off-chain sources. Developers integrate this endpoint to access current market prices for MKR, the governance token of the Maker Protocol, enabling smart contracts and applications to respond to price changes, calculate collateral ratios, or trigger liquidations in lending and derivatives platforms.

DIA offers a Maker price API built from 100+ exchanges covering aggregated trade data. The free endpoint available on this page supports testing and evaluation. For production deployments, DIA constructs custom feeds configurable by data sources, pricing methodology, and update frequency. Developers can request a dedicated Maker feed through DIA's Discord or Telegram to meet specific application requirements and scale needs.

DIA publishes a free Maker price API endpoint on this asset page, available for developers to test and evaluate without cost. The free endpoint provides access to Maker price data for non-production purposes, allowing developers to integrate and assess DIA's oracle infrastructure before committing to a production deployment.

For production use or customized Maker price feeds, DIA builds dedicated feeds configured by data sources, pricing methodology, and update frequency. These production feeds are requested through DIA's Discord or Telegram communities, enabling teams to specify requirements tailored to their application's needs.

A blockchain price oracle is an external information provider that supplies verified offchain data to smart contracts on a blockchain. Price oracles enable smart contracts to access real-world market data without leaving the chain.

DIA can deploy a Maker price oracle on any of its 60+ supported blockchains, delivering onchain MKR price data that smart contracts can consume. DIA's market price feeds aggregate individual trade data from 100+ exchanges covering 3,000+ assets. DIA's price oracle infrastructure runs on Lasernet, DIA's Ethereum layer-2 rollup, which makes each feed independently verifiable.

DIA offers a free API endpoint on this asset's page for testing. For production use or custom requirements, developers can request a dedicated Maker price feed configurable by data sources, pricing methodology, and update frequency via DIA's Discord or Telegram.

DIA's Maker price is calculated by aggregating individual trade data for MKR across on-chain and off-chain sources spanning 100+ exchanges. Rather than relying on a single exchange or liquidity pool, this aggregation approach draws from multiple venues to construct the price feed. The data sources and pricing methodology used in the feed are transparent and publicly documented. For production deployments, organizations can request a custom feed where both the source selection and calculation methodology are configurable to match specific requirements. A free API endpoint is available for testing purposes on this asset's page; custom feeds for production use can be requested through DIA's Discord or Telegram channels.

MKR is the governance token of the Maker Protocol, a decentralized stablecoin platform. Developers consume MKR price feeds in applications tied to Maker's core function: DAI stablecoin issuance and collateral management.

Collateral monitoring systems track MKR prices to alert vault operators when their collateral ratios approach liquidation thresholds, since MKR often serves as collateral in Maker vaults. Governance dashboards display real-time MKR valuations to inform token holders participating in protocol decisions around stability fees and collateral parameters. Liquidation engines use MKR price feeds to calculate auction proceeds when undercollateralized vaults are closed, determining how much DAI debt is recovered.

Each application depends on accurate, verifiable MKR pricing to function safely within Maker's economic model.

DIA aggregates individual trade data from 100+ exchanges to build Maker price feeds, giving developers visibility into which sources and trades compose each price. This transparency extends to methodology: developers can configure how trades are weighted, which exchanges are included, and how often the feed updates, rather than accepting a fixed black-box calculation.

DIA deploys price oracles across 60+ blockchains, so Maker feeds reach applications regardless of chain. Each feed runs on Lasernet, DIA's Ethereum layer-2 rollup, making prices independently verifiable on-chain.

Developers can test the free price-feed API endpoint on this page for evaluation. For production use or custom configuration by sources, methodology, and update frequency, teams request a dedicated Maker feed through DIA's Discord or Telegram.
