Dai: a closer look
What Dai is
Dai (DAI) is a dollar stablecoin with no central issuer; it was launched by the Maker protocol (MakerDAO) in 2017 and today lives in the Sky ecosystem. Unlike USDT and USDC, there are no bank deposits behind it: new DAI appear when a user locks crypto collateral in a smart contract.
How Dai works
The collateral is always worth more than the amount of DAI issued against it. If the collateral falls in price, the position goes to automatic liquidation and the backing is preserved. Interest rates set by the governance mechanism help hold the price near a dollar.
What Dai is for
In DeFi, DAI is used to build lending, borrowing and liquidity pools. It is also taken by those who want a dollar asset managed by a protocol rather than by a single company.
Sending DAI
The home base for DAI is Ethereum, the ERC20 standard; it is also available in other networks, among them BNB Smart Chain and Polygon. Check the network before sending and leave a little of the native coin in the wallet — that is what pays the fee.
Where to keep Dai
Any wallet with Ethereum support will do. Large amounts are better kept on a hardware one.
What to keep in mind
Everything rests on the price of the collateral and on how correctly the smart contracts are written. The parameters of the system can be changed by a protocol governance decision.
