What is Dai?

Maker

Overview

DAI is a decentralized, overcollateralized stablecoin associated with Maker governance and collateralized positions. It aims to track the US dollar while relying on smart contracts, collateral, and risk parameters.

History

DAI evolved from an early single-collateral design into a broader collateral system that used crypto assets and later real-world-asset structures. Its history is one of changing collateral, governance, and stability mechanisms.

What to check now

Review collateral composition, governance votes, stability fees, liquidation design, and the contract on the specific chain. A stable price does not mean stable collateral risk.

Context warning. DAI depends on smart contracts, collateral quality, oracle data, governance decisions, and liquidity in stressed markets.

Research checklist

Before you trust a token

Confirm the identity. Match the project name, ticker, contract address, and chain. Similar symbols can represent unrelated assets.

Check the market. Look beyond a percentage move: liquidity, spread, volume quality, holder concentration, and venue differences matter.

Read the contract context. A market-data feed is not an audit and cannot rule out minting, freezing, blacklist, or honeypot behaviour.
