Staying informed about key metrics is crucial for understanding the Maker ecosystem. Regular monitoring keeps you updated on the protocol's health and growth. Last week, we reviewed May's highlights and performance. Today, we'll cover more key metrics and where to find them: ↓

Current DAI Supply The current DAI supply is the most important metric of the Maker Protocol. It shows the total amount of DAI created and circulating. As of today, this metric exceeds 5 billion DAI. For more details, visit: makerburn.com/#/charts

Maker TVL Total Value Locked (TVL) represents the total dollar value of assets locked in the Maker Protocol. Currently, Maker has approximately $8.76 billion locked, making it the fourth-largest DeFi protocol, despite being live on only one chain since its inception.

Collaterals - Biggest Vaults The Maker Protocol allows DAI minting by depositing accepted assets into Maker Vaults. These assets include on-chain tokens like ETH, stablecoins like USDC, and Real-World Assets. Currently, the ETH-C Vault type is the largest, with approximately $2.07 billion worth of ETH locked.

System Surplus and Dai Savings Rate (DSR) Revenue earned from various fees is used for different aspects of the protocol, including the System Surplus and the DSR. The System Surplus controls the maximum amount of DAI the protocol can accrue from revenue before it can burn MKR. Currently, to fully burn MKR, the system surplus needs to reach 50 million DAI. The DSR is the rate at which the Maker Protocol rewards users who lock their DAI within DSR contracts. Currently, the DSR cost is approximately 153 million DAI.

Where is All DAI? DAI is the biggest product of MakerDAO, widely used for various transactions worldwide, but its primary usage is within DeFi. Currently, most DAI remains in DeFi, with EOA and the DSR being the top use cases, holding over 2.3 billion and 1.96 billion DAI, respectively.
