What is Maker?

Maker (MKR) is the governance token utilized by MakerDAO and Maker Protocol, which are a decentralized organization and a software platform respectively. These operate on the Ethereum blockchain and enable users to issue and handle the DAI stablecoin. The Maker project, created in 2015 and fully launched in December 2017, manages the DAI cryptocurrency, a decentralized digital currency with a stable value linked to the US dollar, managed by the community.

MKR tokens function as a type of voting share for the organization responsible for managing DAI. While they do not provide dividends to their holders, they do grant them voting rights regarding the development of Maker Protocol. The value of MKR tokens is expected to increase in line with the success of DAI itself.

The Maker ecosystem is one of the earliest DeFi projects. The DeFi industry endeavors to develop decentralized financial products utilizing smart-contract-enabled blockchains, such as Ethereum.

“Ledger = peace of mind. I'm sure some of us know that unsettling feeling when you know you need a Ledger but haven't quite organized yourself to get it sorted. If I did it all again, I'd start with having a Ledger.”

Janet Onagah @Janet_Oganah

"I got hacked in January and lost 1000s worth of NFTs. I felt disgusted, lost, and willing to quit. Until my friend told me he's ordering a Ledger. So, we bought the duo deal. Since then, I've been sleeping."

PrimeNic.eth @primenic_eth

“I use multiple Ledgers. Different colours = different uses.Public Wallet. Never touch long term storage. Day to day fund holdings. A back up just in case.”

winny.eth @winnyeth

"I have 3 Ledgers. Hot Wallet: minting/drawings etc. Main wallet: store most NFTs. Vault wallet: cold storage of crypto."

2160 @rekt2160

“I have 5 Ledger total. My personal NFT bag. 1 for testing. And 1 for each of my 3 daughters.”

Fanzo 🧢 11.11.22 @iSocialFanz

"If I could, I would name my Ledger Hagrid. Cause it's the keeper of my keys."

Petrica Butusina @PetricaButusina

"My Ledger is already called "Stew". As it is the steward who looks after my crypto & NFTs, so I can sleep at night."

Lkmland Crypto 💫 @LkmlandCrypto

"Ledger makes cold storage downright easy. My NFTs land infinitely safer and I don’t have to feel as paranoid about connecting to new smart contracts."

FAQ

Find answers to some of the most common questions.

When you first buy coin, you’re issued with two keys: public and private.

  • A public key serves as an address that can be shared with other parties to perform transactions.
  • A private key represents a randomly generated number that signs transactions and protects your assets from malicious attacks. If it gets compromised or lost, you won’t be able to access your hardware wallet to spend, withdraw, or transfer your assets.

To safeguard and keep track of your keys, you can use online or offline wallets. Online wallets, also known as hot wallets, store private keys on systems or devices that are connected to the internet. Hot wallets are easy and convenient to use, however, they come with several drawbacks. Besides being susceptible to attacks and a honeypot for hackers, with hot wallets, the custody of private keys is often entrusted to a third party such as a crypto exchange, which means you never have full control over your funds. The safer choice are specialized hardware wallets that store private keys offline. Stealing private keys from a hardware wallet would require physical access to the wallet and corresponding PIN or the recovery phrase. What’s more, with hardware wallet, you don’t need to rely on third party custodians.

Ledger Nano is the industry-leading hardware wallet. With more than five million customers, Ledger Nano wallets have several layers of security that protect private keys, and hence your assets:

  • Your private keys are stored on secure element chips.
  • A PIN code and a 24-word recovery phrase are required to access the wallet.
  • Ledger Nano cryptocurrency wallets have been built using highly durable materials for protection against physical damage.

With full isolation between private keys and your computer/mobile, Ledger Nano hardware wallets keep your keys secure and give you complete control over your coins.
