shared our Q1 2022 Maple Treasury Report this week. We’re proud to share that Maple turned a profit within 10 months of launch, driven by increased loan volumes and revenue. This quarter’s revenues exceeded the previous three, combined.

Pool delegates originated $618M loans across 56 new deals, with $265M originated in February, and $297M in March respectively. Utilization rates remained consistently over 90% throughout the quarter, demonstrating that Maple is efficiently and proactively routing capital to where it’s needed most.

The syndicated pool for , run by issued record-breaking loans of $47.25M and $77.77. And Maven’s issued 23 new loans and grew active liquidity in the pool by ~60% Q/Q.

, Smart Contract Lead at Maple, shared an inspired article on the partnership between and Maple, and how it could serve to scale digital and real world economies. MakerDAO need to scale the DAI supply in a long-term, sustainable way. Maple’s infrastructure can be a gateway for them to reach an expanded market, providing large amounts of capital backed by real world assets in a highly efficient manner.

By leveraging the DAI Direct Deposit Module (D3M) to mint DAI into sector-specific managed liquidity pools in the Maple protocol, Maker will be able to scale through Maple’s crypto-capital infrastructure, and be a catalyst for growing the DAI supply to $100 billion and beyond.

This partnership is exciting because it means MakerDAO’s capital can be managed and deployed on a massive scale, expanding into real world assets specifically such as tech, sustainable energy and healthcare.

We hosted our April 2022 Community Call on Wednesday. , , and Charlotte discussed the financials and a recap of Q1, five key focuses for Q2, and a deep dive on Maple Solana (mainnet soon!) We added our first ever tip of the hat section to celebrate our community, see below. We loved all the questions at the end of the call, and can’t wait to see everyone again next month.
