What is DAI?
DAI is a decentralized stablecoin soft-pegged to the US dollar, issued by the Maker (now Sky) protocol on Ethereum.
Unlike centrally issued stablecoins, DAI is minted against on-chain crypto collateral, offering a censorship-resistant dollar for trading, savings, and DeFi.
DAI is an ERC-20 token governed by smart contracts and MKR holders, with its peg maintained through overcollateralization and stability mechanisms.
DAI is a DeFi-native staple, integrated into lending markets, DEXs, and yield protocols as one of the longest-running decentralized stablecoins.
What is Ethereum?
Ethereum is a decentralized smart contract platform, home to the majority of DeFi protocols, stablecoins, and tokenized assets.
Its native token, ETH, is used for gas fees, staking, and as core collateral throughout the ecosystem.
Ethereum uses Proof of Stake with hundreds of thousands of validators, and scales through Layer 2 networks like Arbitrum that inherit its security.
Ethereum hosts the deepest liquidity and most battle-tested applications in crypto, making it the default settlement layer for on-chain finance.
