Dai is a decentralised stablecoin from MakerDAO, now Sky, launched in 2017. It's created by locking collateral in smart contracts.
⚡ Why it's interesting
It's one of the oldest DeFi building blocks and doesn't rely on one company holding dollars in a bank.
⚠️ Key risks
A lot of its backing is now in other stablecoins and real-world assets, so it shares their risks. Smart-contract bugs and governance decisions matter, and the ecosystem is migrating to USDS.
👀 What to watch
Sky's collateral mix, its share of USDC and real-world assets, and the DAI-to-USDS migration. The older brand may slowly fade.
