About Dai
Dai (DAI) is a decentralized stablecoin running on Ethereum (ETH) that attempts to maintain a value of $1.00 USD. Unlike centralized stablecoins, Dai isn't backed by US dollars in a bank account. Instead, it’s backed by collateral on the Maker platform. Note: if the Dai credit system is upgraded or shutdown, Dai holders may need to convert their Dai to Ethereum through the Maker platform.

FAQ
Dai (DAI) is a stablecoin designed to maintain a value close to the U.S. dollar. It operates on the Ethereum blockchain and is managed by the Maker Protocol, a decentralized system governed by MakerDAO. Unlike traditional fiat-backed stablecoins, Dai is generated through a system of collateralized debt positions (CDPs), where users lock up various crypto assets to create Dai. The protocol is designed to maintain its stability algorithmically through smart contracts and decentralized governance.
Dai is created when users deposit accepted cryptocurrencies into Maker Vaults within the Maker Protocol. These vaults serve as collateralized positions, ensuring that Dai remains overcollateralized to support its stability. Depending on the asset used, the collateralization ratio typically ranges from 101% to 175%. If the collateral falls below the required threshold, the system automatically liquidates it to maintain stability. Issuance and burning of Dai are executed through Ethereum-based smart contracts, ensuring transparency and minimizing reliance on centralized entities.
Dai seeks to provide stability in a volatile cryptocurrency market by maintaining a predictable value. It is widely used in decentralized finance (DeFi) applications, including lending, borrowing, and payments. Merchants and businesses can use Dai as a medium of exchange, while traders and investors utilize it to hedge against market fluctuations. Dai is also integrated into smart contracts, allowing developers to build applications that require a stable digital asset.
Dai was developed by MakerDAO, a decentralized organization founded by Rune Christensen in 2015. The original version, Single-Collateral Dai (SAI), launched in 2017 and was backed exclusively by Ether. In 2019, MakerDAO introduced Multi-Collateral Dai, allowing various crypto assets to be used as collateral. The ecosystem has continued to expand, with Dai becoming one of the most widely used decentralized stablecoins.
