# Awesome MakerDAO

Awesome-MakerDAO (AMD) is a community-driven project, designed to be a resource people can use to familiarize themselves with Dai and MakerDAO. All are welcome to contribute.

**Get Started**

Those interested in MakerDAO are invited to explore AMD's collection of resources below. Get to know Maker with the help of beginner guides, official documentation, analysis pieces, tools, partnership announcements, AMAs, podcasts, and third-party apps, and more.

**Please Be Advised**

Users are ***strongly encouraged*** to perform their own due diligence before trusting third-party services listed below. Despite MakerDAO's best efforts to provide a clean resource, given the nature of the cryptocurrency realm, scams do exist, and even great projects are frequently compromised.

The Maker Foundation grants program offers bounties to community members who bring attention to compromised third-party apps and services.

## Governance and Risk

The Maker Governance Framework is built on rigorously vetted, reproducible, scientific models created by experts with proven track records in the traditional finance space. Maker's risk analysts share research ideas, discuss quantitative models, and perform due diligence on collateral types.

Maker values the opinions of informed members who participate in on-going Governance discussions.

# Awesome-MakerDAO: Maintenance Guide

Awesome-MakerDAO is a community-curated list of MakerDAO-related content and resources to which anyone can contribute. The long-term goal is developing a self-maintaining document, where anyone can get paid to add or update content and find and replace typos, with clear guidelines around how to update its resources.

This guide details the suggested logic contributors should follow to improve Awesome-MakerDAO.

* Follow the provided guidelines to help preserve a consistent and clean formatting style.
* Keep Awesome-MakerDAO relevant.&#x20;
  * Add, delete, and/or relocate resources when appropriate.
  * Request approval before removing resources or when restructuring sections.

#### Bounties and Incentives

The MakerDAO Community Grants program supports members that provide useful contributions and improve Maker's document base. Inquire about bounties and incentives in [#community-development](https://chat.makerdao.com/channel/community-development) on MakerDAO's chat.

#### AMD Documents

* [Live](https://awesome.makerdao.com/)

## AMD Maintenance Standards

### General

New users should see Awesome-MakerDAO as their starting-point to learn about Maker. Members should be able to share AMD with friends and acquaintances that are looking for a crash course on Maker and its basics.

* Documentation should prioritize:
  * Informative and comprehensive resources.
  * A clear and organized structure.
  * Easy navigation.
  * Visual appeal.
* Find and update:
  * Deviations from the [Writing Style Guide](https://github.com/makerdao/community/blob/master/contributing/style-guide.md).
  * Dead or outdated links.
  * Improperly dated resources.
  * Resources to credit authors.

### Including and Discarding Resources

* Update categories with current and relevant resources.
  * Add new resources to an appropriate section.
  * When adding new content, consider the project's age, user base, and whether its main net has been live for at least six months.
* Discard content that is no longer relevant, repetitive, of low quality, or does not add value.
* Move outdated content to the [Archive](/amd-maintenance-guide#archived-resources).
  * **Do not** move content that is still relevant to a section.
    * Only move content if it is still interesting, otherwise, discard it.
  * Some resources may already be eligible for the Archive, especially those over a year old.

### Style and Formatting

#### Writing Style Guide

The MakerDAO Community [Writing Style Guide](https://github.com/makerdao/community/blob/master/contributing/style-guide.md) summarizes the standards and best practices writers should follow when contributing to Awesome-MakerDAO.

* Errors are sometimes overlooked. If something does not adhere to the Writing Style Guide, change it to match.
* Before starting work on AMD, contributors are encouraged to study the Writing Style Guide as well as the other community contributor guides.

#### Citing and Organizing Content

**Citing**

* Use title case when possible.
* Include the month and year of publication.
  * If a date is not listed, *inspect* the web page, as it may reveal publishing information.
* Credit authors and sources when possible.

# MakerDAO | Dai ⬙ の概要

Makerは、Ethereumブロックチェーン上の分散型ステーブルコインであるDaiを管理する自律分散型組織（DAO）です。

分散型のステーブルコインは、デジタル金融革命を次の段階へ発展させるために不可欠な要素です。 Makerは、既存のステーブルコインの良い部分を吸収し、統合しました：DAI（ユニコードシンボル：⬙）

MakerがDAOという性質を持つことで、全ての人がMakerの一部になることができ、協力して新しい経済システムの基盤を築くことができます。

MKR保有者はMakerシステムの最高権威であり、システムの運営をサポートします。彼らは正しくコミュニティに貢献することで、プラスの恩恵を受けることができます。一方で 管理が不十分である場合にはその逆が起こるため、対処が必要となります。一つの社会集団として、DAOの運営に対する積極的な協力と注意を怠らない姿勢が必要とされています。

Daiステーブルコインシステムの最も重要な部分はCDPプラットフォームです。 CDPは、Daiの価値を保証する担保資産を預託システムであると同時に、分散証拠金取引のプラットフォームとして、既存の証拠金取引よりも低コスト・高セキュリティで機能するスマートコントラクトです。

DaiとCDPプラットフォームは、インドの農村部からウォール街まで、グローバルでオープンな分散型金融システムを提供するために不可分なソリューションです。
