🚀 MakerDAO Co-founder Rune Christensen has revealed that the platform's future native blockchain, NewChain, could be built using Solana's (SOL) codebase. In a governance forum post, Christensen praised Solana's technical quality, resilience, and functioning examples. He also mentioned Cosmos as another contender.
🔧 MakerDAO, the largest DeFi lender and issuer of the $5 billion DAI stablecoin, is currently undergoing a major overhaul called Endgame. The plan includes breaking the project into smaller, independent entities (SubDAOs) and revamping its governance token MKR and stablecoin DAI.
⏳ The final phase of Endgame involves rolling out NewChain, which will connect all SubDAOs and make the ecosystem more resilient to governance attacks and technical failures. The project is expected to take at least 3 years.
🏆 Maker's endorsement would be a symbolic win for the Solana ecosystem, which has faced challenges following the collapse of FTX and Sam Bankman-Fried's downfall.
🗣️ Some community members have already pushed back against Christensen's idea, requesting more information or suggesting other solutions. What do you think about the potential use of Solana's codebase for MakerDAO's NewChain? Share your thoughts in the comments!
