Makina Finance (MAK)

Makina is a unified DeFi execution engine with over $100M in TVL. It automates risk-adjusted, institutional-grade strategies 6+ major EVM chains, through expert operators, AI agents, and its cross-chain routing system. Makina Finance DeFi project gives users seamless access to high-performance on-chain yield with real-time risk controls, transparent accounting, and instant position unwinds while remaining fully non-custodial. 

Makina Finance project redefines how smart contract vaults operate by providing a highly agile infrastructure:

• Machine: A strategy-specific onchain vault that lets users deposit a single asset, mint Machine Tokens, and earn returns based on an Operator-managed strategy with built-in accounting, fee logic, and cross-chain execution via connected Calibers;
• Caliber: A chain-level execution engine that deploys a Machine’s capital across DeFi protocols using the MakinaVM, handling swaps, rewards, flashloans, and cross-chain asset movement while maintaining independent position accounting tied to the Machine’s token;
• Governance: A multi-layered oversight system that controls who can deploy strategies, update risk parameters, and operate Machines through protocol-wide roles and per-strategy actors, all enforced by timelocks, veto rights, and secure multisig safeguards.
