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 NZD/DAI pair and why is it a key fiat on-ramp for DeFi in New Zealand?

    The NZD/DAI pair represents the direct exchange rate between the New Zealand Dollar and Dai, a decentralized stablecoin on the Ethereum blockchain. It's a crucial fiat on-ramp because it allows users to convert NZD directly into a stable digital asset pegged to the USD. This provides a low-volatility entry point into the global decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem, enabling participation in lending, borrowing, and yield farming protocols without initial exposure to volatile cryptocurrencies. Dai's stability is maintained on-chain by the MakerDAO protocol through over-collateralization.

  • What are common methods to purchase DAI using NZD on a cryptocurrency exchange?

    To purchase Dai with NZD, you typically need a local or international cryptocurrency exchange that supports NZD deposits. The process involves completing KYC/AML compliance, then funding your account via a New Zealand bank transfer or POLi payments. Once your account is credited with NZD, you can navigate to the NZD/DAI trading pair, place a market or limit order in the order book, and execute the trade. The purchased Dai, an ERC-20 token, can then be held on the exchange or withdrawn to a personal digital wallet.

  • How does Dai's on-chain stability mechanism affect its value against the NZD?

    Dai's value is soft-pegged to the US Dollar, not the NZD. Its stability comes from the MakerDAO protocol, where users lock up collateral (like ETH) in smart contracts called Vaults to mint Dai. The system is designed to be over-collateralized, ensuring each Dai is backed by more than $1 worth of assets. Therefore, fluctuations in the NZD/DAI price are primarily driven by changes in the NZD/USD foreign exchange rate, not by instability in Dai itself. This makes Dai a reliable digital asset for hedging against NZD depreciation relative to the USD.

  • Are there specific security practices for handling a NZD to DAI blockchain transaction?

    Yes. When converting NZD to DAI, first ensure the fiat gateway or exchange is reputable and regulated. After purchasing, the most critical step is securing your DAI. As an ERC-20 token, it should be withdrawn from the exchange to a personal Ethereum-compatible digital wallet where you control the private keys (e.g., a hardware wallet or MetaMask). Always double-check the recipient wallet address before initiating the blockchain transaction, as Ethereum transactions are irreversible. Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) on your exchange account for an added layer of security.

  • What kind of fees can I expect when converting NZD to the ERC-20 token DAI?

    When transacting NZD for DAI, expect a multi-layered fee structure. First, there may be a deposit fee for funding your exchange account with NZD via bank transfer. Second, the cryptocurrency exchange will charge a trading fee (either a 'maker' or 'taker' fee) for executing the order. Finally, when you withdraw your DAI (an ERC-20 token) to a personal digital wallet, you will incur an Ethereum network fee, known as 'gas', which pays for the blockchain transaction. This gas fee varies based on network congestion.
