Before it dissolves, the Maker Foundation sends $480 million to MakerDAO. The Foundation's job was to get the DAO off the ground, make it self-sufficient, and then exit stage left. The foundation was able to fund its work by selling MKR from the Development Fund, which held 84,000 MKR tokens. However, it no longer requires it; according to Nomics numbers, the tokens are now worth over $5,700.
