The Maker token (MKR) is the MakerDAO native token. It acts as a utility token, governance token and a recapitalization tool for the MakerDAO platform, which manages the DAI stablecoin. MKR is used as part of the stabilizing mechanism that is in place to combat the price volatility of the DAI stablecoin.
DAI is pegged to the US dollar and has collateral in place to ensure stability. The MKR token is used is to pay for the "collateralized debt positions" (CDPs) that have been used to generate DAI. After this MKR is used, it is removed from the supply. MKR holders also contribute to the governance of the MakerDAO and vote on crucial issues related to the direction of the DAI stablecoin.

TrueUSD is a stablecoin backed by USD. It was created by TrustToken, a company that specializes in creating asset-backed tokens on the Ethereum blockchain. TrueUSD is fully collateralized and is transparently verified by third-party attestations.
TrueUSD was created within a legal framework that enables users to exchange USD directly with an escrow account. The platform is powered by smart contracts that ensure a 1:1 parity between USD and TrueUSD. Escrow accounts and regulatory compliance practices enable auditing and more legal protection for token holders.
Users wire funds to these third-party escrow accounts, and an equivalent amount of TUSD is generated to their ethereum addresses. Each TUSD can be redeemed for one US Dollar, that is held in escrow.

Single Collateral DAI is a decentralized stablecoin that has collateral to back its value and an interest rate mechanism to stabilize its price. It is designed to be a digital currency with a stable value, that is pegged to the US dollar. (1 SAI=$1) MakerDAO is the decentralized autonomous organization that manages DAI and works to combat its price volatility. MakerDAO hopes to enable more decentralized applications by providing a stable digital currency whose value will not be susceptible to drastic fluctuations. The Maker platform itself, is powered by the MKR token, which is not a stablecoin, and has a volatile price because of its role on the Maker platform. In November of 2019 MakerDAO launched the Multi-Collateral Dai (MCD), which will eventually replace the existing Single-Collateral Dai, and will enable the company to offer a wider range of DeFi services.
