Dai Price, Live Chart & Market Cap

Dai Stablecoin: USD‑Pegged, Over‑Collateralized, Ready for DeFi, Trading, and Yield Farming

Dai Overview

Dai is a decentralized, dollar‑pegged coin issued by MakerDAO. Dai stays near $1 because every token is over‑collateralized on‑chain. Holders use Dai for trading, saving, payments and DeFi farming. With Dai, anyone gains a borderless digital dollar that resists censorship.

Utility & Use Cases DAI

Borrowing Liquidity

• Lock collateral in a Maker vault and mint Dai to raise capital without selling core assets.

Liquidity Pools

• Supply Dai to DEX pools like Uniswap or Curve to earn trading fees and farming rewards.

Saving Yield

• Deposit Dai into the Dai Savings Rate or leading lending markets for steady passive income.

Payments & Remittance

• Transfer Dai globally in seconds with minimal fees—ideal for payroll, e‑commerce and cross‑border settlement.

Dai Technologies Overview

Low Fees, Fast Finality

Layer‑2 support cuts Dai transfer costs to pennies while confirming in minutes.

Cross‑Chain Reach

Official bridges and Teleport move Dai between Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism and Starknet seamlessly.

Smart‑Contract Collateral

Audited Maker contracts enforce over‑collateralization, liquidations and peg management without intermediaries.

Peg Stability Module

The PSM swaps other stablecoins 1:1 with Dai, anchoring market price at one dollar.

Funding

MakerDAO funded Dai’s development by privately selling MKR governance tokens: $12 M in 2017 seed, $15 M to a16z in 2018 and $27.5 M to Dragonfly + Paradigm in 2019. Today ongoing costs are covered by protocol revenue, not new token sales.

Roadmap

Phase 1 – Rebrand & New Tokens (2024)

Launch refreshed brand plus redenominated governance and stable tokens while keeping Dai live for a smooth swap.

Phase 2 – SubDAO Roll‑out (2024‑25)

Spin up specialised SubDAOs to handle growth, risk and real‑world assets, each with its own farmable token.

Phase 5 – NewChain (≈2026)

Deploy a dedicated high‑performance L1 to host Maker governance and lock core parameters immutably.

Dai Security & Audit Reports

Dai’s core contracts have multiple Trail of Bits audits, a live bug‑bounty and a 24‑hour governance delay. Black‑Thursday lessons hardened auctions and oracle design; no contract exploit has ever broken the peg.
