What MakerLink does
A sourcing broker that matches brands with manufacturers and suppliers based on product, volume, certifications, location, lead time and commercial constraints.

Matches, introductions, shortlists and deal briefs.

$MAKE
MakerLink Token
$MAKE is designed as an access, reputation, contribution and loyalty layer around the matching network. Core payments and professional fees can remain in USDC or other normal settlement rails.
Verified supplier reputation
$MAKE can represent reputation earned through confirmed deliveries and buyer feedback.
Supplier listing stake
Suppliers may stake tokens to maintain enhanced profiles, without buying ranking priority.
Buyer discounts
Repeat sourcing customers can redeem $MAKE against match fees.
Data contribution rewards
Verified updates on MOQ, lead times or capabilities can earn tokens.
Category governance
Holders can prioritize new sourcing categories or regions.
Network access
Token tiers can unlock deeper supplier pools and faster sourcing requests.
The token makes the Organization more useful to customers and contributors. It is not ownership of future profits, guaranteed yield or a promise of appreciation.
