About
Dai (DAI)

DAI (DAI) stands as a pioneering decentralized stablecoin soft-pegged to the US Dollar, operating on the Ethereum blockchain as an ERC-20 token. Its primary purpose is to provide a censorship-resistant and transparent digital asset that maintains a stable value, offering a crucial building block for the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem. Governed by the MakerDAO community through the MKR governance token, DAI's stability is achieved through a sophisticated system of over-collateralization. Users generate DAI by locking up approved crypto assets, such as ETH or WBTC, into smart contracts known as Maker Vaults (formerly Collateralized Debt Positions or CDPs). This process ensures that every DAI in circulation is backed by a greater value of collateral, mitigating volatility risks.

The core technology relies on Ethereum's smart contract capabilities to manage these Vaults, automate liquidations if collateral value drops below a certain threshold, and maintain the peg through various stability mechanisms, including Stability Fees and the Dai Savings Rate (DSR). The DSR allows DAI holders to earn yield on their holdings directly on-chain. DAI's utility token function is primarily as a stable medium of exchange, a unit of account, and a store of value within countless DeFi applications, including lending protocols, decentralized exchanges, and yield farming strategies. As one of the most widely integrated crypto-backed stablecoins, DAI is a foundational element of Web3 infrastructure, enabling peer-to-peer transactions and complex financial instruments without reliance on traditional intermediaries.

Frequently asked questions

  • What is the MYR/DAI trading pair and how does it function?

    The MYR/DAI pair represents the exchange rate between the Malaysian Ringgit (MYR) and Dai (DAI), a decentralized stablecoin soft-pegged to the US Dollar. It functions as a fiat on-ramp, allowing you to use MYR to purchase DAI, an ERC-20 token on the Ethereum blockchain. This process is governed by the MakerDAO protocol, where DAI's stability is maintained by over-collateralized crypto assets locked in smart contract 'Vaults', ensuring transparency and censorship resistance.
  • What are common payment methods in Malaysia for buying DAI with MYR?

    To purchase the DAI digital asset with Malaysian Ringgit, most regulated cryptocurrency exchanges in Malaysia support local payment systems. The most common methods include FPX (Financial Process Exchange) for instant online bank transfers and DuitNow Transfer. These fiat gateways are preferred for their speed and integration with major Malaysian banks. Completing KYC/AML compliance checks is a mandatory first step on these platforms before you can link your bank account and execute a trade.
  • Why is DAI's decentralized nature important when converting from MYR?

    DAI's decentralized nature, governed by the MKR token holders of MakerDAO, offers distinct advantages. Unlike centralized stablecoins, DAI is not controlled by a single company, reducing counterparty risk. Its value is backed by a transparent, on-chain portfolio of digital assets visible to anyone. When you convert MYR to DAI, you acquire an asset native to the permissionless DeFi ecosystem, enabling direct interaction with decentralized applications (dApps) without intermediaries.
  • What are the key costs involved in an MYR to DAI transaction, including network fees?

    There are several potential costs. First, the cryptocurrency exchange will charge a trading fee on the order book. Second, while MYR deposits via FPX are often free, check for any fiat on-ramp fees. Most importantly, since DAI is an ERC-20 token, moving it from the exchange to your personal digital wallet requires an Ethereum blockchain transaction. This incurs a 'gas fee', paid in ETH and measured in Gwei, which can vary significantly based on network congestion. Factoring in gas fees is crucial for understanding the total cost of acquiring and securing your DAI.
  • After buying DAI with MYR, how can I securely store and use it in DeFi?

    For maximum security, you should transfer your DAI from the exchange to a non-custodial digital wallet where you control the private keys (e.g., MetaMask, Ledger). This is crucial for self-custody. Once in your wallet, you can connect to various decentralized applications (dApps) on the Ethereum network. You can use your DAI for lending on platforms like Aave, providing liquidity on decentralized exchanges, or interacting with other smart contract-based financial services, all directly from your secure wallet.
