Volume Update

In the week prior, the daily volume for Maker has ranged between 26,396.95 and 265,965.5 currency units. Looking back over past 21 days, the trend in volume,like the trend in price, is choppy and does not reveal a clear direction. The past 7 days saw Maker’s trading turnover — meaning the percentage of its available supply that was traded — come in at 11.85%. Its turnover rate is more than approximately 87.25% of the cryptocurrencies in our index, so it’s far above average and thus a good coin for those interested in active trading or being able to get out of the market if they need to.

Engagement Update

The number of wallets holding Maker went from 13,066 to 13,323 in the past week, marking a change of 1.97%. As for overall transactions, they increased from 392,328 to 403,984 — an increase of 2.97%. This translates to a combined engagement growth rate of 4.94% for Maker — which is higher than 88.22% of the cryptocurrencies we’re reporting on. One interpretation of this may be that the coin may be on track to getting and sustaining actual usage.

Technology Development Status

Dai currently has 60 public repositories on GitHub, with the oldest one now 3.85 years young. Its last public update to any of its repositories was within the past day, which is pretty good, as it suggests the coin is still under active and rapid technical development. Maker’s repos that are visible to the public collectively have 1052 watchers — specifically, that’s more than 71 % of the top 100 coins we’re looking at. The coin has 180 outstanding issues in the backlog awaiting to be addressed by the core development team. In comparison to the number of watchers it has, though, its open issues count is fairly mediocre. We consider the GitHub open issue/watcher ratio as a potential indicator of the healthiness of a coin’s software development process, and for Dai we see that its issue/watcher ratio looks healthier than 40% of similar coins in our index.
