Dai: a closer look

What Dai is

Dai (DAI) is a decentralized dollar stablecoin created by the Maker protocol (MakerDAO) in 2017 and now part of the Sky ecosystem. Unlike USDT or USDC, DAI is not issued against bank deposits: it is created by users who lock crypto collateral in smart contracts.

How Dai works

To mint DAI, a user deposits more collateral than the value of the DAI received. If the collateral falls in value, the position is liquidated automatically, which keeps DAI backed. Interest rates set by governance help hold the price near one dollar.

What Dai is for

DAI is used in DeFi for lending, borrowing and liquidity pools, and by users who want a dollar asset that is managed by a protocol rather than a single company.

Sending DAI

DAI is an ERC20 token on Ethereum and is also available on other networks such as BNB Smart Chain and Polygon. Check the network before sending and keep some of the native coin for fees.

Where to keep Dai

DAI can be kept in any Ethereum-compatible wallet. For large amounts use a hardware wallet.

What to keep in mind

DAI depends on the value of its collateral and on the correctness of smart contracts. Governance decisions can change parameters of the system.
