TechFlow news, according to Odaily, MakerDAO co-founder Rune Christensen stated at the TOKEN2049 conference on September 14 that MakerDAO will launch a new unified brand with a name yet to be announced. DAI and MKR users will be unaffected and can be revalued at a 1:12000 ratio, while the new stablecoin will enable mining of a new governance token.
Rune Christensen also revealed that the new stablecoin and new governance token are set to launch in early 2024, preparing to support subDAO mining, with subDAO tokens to be issued in the second quarter of 2024, which can be mined using the new stablecoin. He mentioned that MakerDAO will have four subDAOs: Sakura, Spark, Quant, and Qual.
-
Sakura is a community-focused subDAO;
-
Spark is a DeFi subDAO focused on cutting-edge technology;
