What is Dai?
Dai (DAI) is a decentralised stablecoin pegged to the US dollar. It was created by the MakerDAO protocol, with the first version launched in 2017. Unlike USDT and USDC, DAI is not backed by a company with a bank account: coins are minted by smart contracts against other crypto collateral, and all the rules are openly written on the Ethereum blockchain.
DAI is widely used in decentralised finance (DeFi): for loans, interest-bearing deposits, payments and as the “stable” part of a crypto portfolio.
How does Dai hold its 1 dollar peg?
To mint DAI, a user locks collateral in a smart contract worth more than the DAI issued (over-collateralisation). If the collateral value falls, the position is liquidated automatically. On top of that, the protocol manages rates and reserves to keep the DAI price close to 1 dollar.
How is DAI different from USDT and USDC?
USDT and USDC are centralised stablecoins issued by Tether and Circle, with reserves held in dollars and bonds. DAI is decentralised: its collateral is visible on-chain and rules change by community vote. To a user all three are “digital dollars”, but with different trust models.
Which network does Cryptabar use for DAI?
Cryptabar pays out DAI on the Ethereum network (ERC-20 standard). Enter the address of a wallet that supports ERC-20 tokens — it starts with 0x. To move DAI on later you will need a little ETH in the wallet for network fees.
How to buy Dai?
You can buy DAI with USDT TRC-20, USDT ERC-20 or USDT Polygon. Choose a direction, enter the amount and your ERC-20 wallet address — the rate and payout are shown before you create the order, and DAI is sent automatically.
What to check before exchanging DAI?
Make sure the address belongs to a wallet on the Ethereum network, not another network with the same address format (BNB Smart Chain, Polygon, Arbitrum). Check the address in full. Before paying, check the rate, minimum amount and reserve in the calculator above.
How to exchange Dai on Cryptabar?
