PARTNERSHIP IN MAKER (MKR)

MakerDAO Integrates with Request Network to Promote Stability in Cryptocurrency Finance

MakerDAO and Request Network are thrilled to announce a strategic partnership that will integrate our stablecoin, Dai, into the financial dApps built on top of the Request Network. In doing so, this partnership continues to push Maker’s vision of unlocking the power of the blockchain to create economic empowerment. Dai will be one of the first five ERC20 tokens supported on the Request Network when ERC20 support officially hits their mainnet this month.

Beginning with Dai, our decentralized stablecoin, Request is enabling future payments on the blockchain to be secure and easy. Price stability on the blockchain is one of the most challenging blockers to widespread adoption of cryptocurrencies. Dai solves this through a fully decentralized stablecoin which has been live and stable since it’s launch.

Request Network Foundation is driving adoption of blockchain by providing a payments framework which allows everyone to develop their own decentralized financial application based on the Request Network technology. They are supporting project grants through the Request Fund. Allowing developers to incorporate Dai into their products will make sure the next generation of financial applications offer stability towards merchants and businesses that adopt blockchain technology.

MakerDAO and Dether partner to bring Dai stablecoin to mobile ATMs around the world

MakerDAO is excited to announce its exciting partnership with Dether. Our teams have been working together for the past few weeks in order to bring the value and power of a stable token to retailers and individuals worldwide. The partnership will make it simple for users to easily switch from any cryptocurrency to Dai.

Our vision is to address volatility issues preventing blockchain technology from being adopted worldwide and bring stability to the blockchain through Dai. By partnering together, DTH and DAI will break the barriers to blockchain and crypto adoption, enabling any individual or shop owner to easily switch from any cryptocurrency stabilized against the value of the U.S. Dollar, and vice versa.

Dether’s mission is to give power back to individuals — especially unbanked populations across the globe — by enabling them to easily access cryptocurrency. As a consequence, Dether started building a worldwide ecosystem of crypto buyers, sellers and physical stores willing to trade crypto for fiat cash and accept it as a means of payment.
