Overview of November

By far the biggest event in November was MakerDAO’s protocol upgrade which created Mulitcollateral DAI which now accepts both ether and basic attention token as collateral for dai generation. Additionally, Maker released the Dai Savings Rate where users can lend their dai and receive interest. Gods Unchained reached a historic milestone for transferring over 6 million ERC 721 cards which is more than Cryptokitties or any other collectible to date. More importantly, the Ethereum network maintained space for transactions even during this record amount of transfers.

2. Collateral accepted by MakerDAO protocol

$3.4M . The amount of Multicollateral DAI locked in Dai Savings Rate

$7.9M . All-time high 24h Uniswap Volume

48.71% . MakerDAO Defi dominance

$450M+ . USD locked in Defi

166.9M. USD value locked in Synthetix

$17M+ . Maker collateral liquidated over the past month

$353K. USDC loans originated in the past 24 hours

Our previous all time high was $6.2M last May. Back then the volume breakdown was: 85% MKR + DAI, 15% other Today's volume of $7.9M was 56% MKR + DAI + SAI, 44% Other This demonstrates the huge growth in the long tail of assets in Uniswap liquidity pools! pic.twitter.com/rr8i6V47GW — Uniswap Protocol 🦄 (@UniswapProtocol) November 22, 2019

Maker’s dominance on Uniswap has largely been reduced by Synthetix which has seen unprecedented growth in the past couple of months. Additionally, the increase in SAI and DAI supply has resulted in less Maker dominance, although Sai and Dai are directly generated using the Maker protocol. Moving forward it will be interesting to see if BAT’s acceptance as collateral for Maker increases its liquidity on Uniswap.
