💡What is $DAI?

DAI is the first decentralized, collateral-backed stablecoin. It is issued by the Maker Protocol, which is a decentralized application built on top of the Ethereum network.

Users can get DAI by collateralizing their own crypto assets using the Maker Protocol or by spending ETH or other assets to buy the dollar equivalent amount in DAI.
