About Dai
{{"Dai is a collateral-backed stablecoin pegged to the US Dollar. Dai (DAI) is the first decentralized stablecoin built on top of the Ethereum blockchain. Because the price of Dai is pegged to the US Dollar, it experiences relatively little market volatility. As a result, it is most often used as a method of payment or hedging mechanism. Every Dai is backed by a surplus of collateral that is escrowed into publicly reviewable Ethereum smart contracts." if countryCode!= "GB" else "DAI is a decentralised stablecoin built on top of the Ethereum blockchain that aims to maintain a value of 1 DAI to 1 USD by, according to MakerDao, being backed by excess collateral of eligible cryptoassets.
Investing in crypto assets is risky and each token can have its own set of risks. Although general crypto asset risks may still apply to DAI, there are specific risks associated with DAI that may impact its value.
These include:
Algorithmic Stablecoins: DAI is not like other stablecoins such as USDC, which attempt to maintain a stable value by holding an equivalent value of U.S. dollar denominated assets in reserve. DAI is an algorithmic stablecoin, which means that DAI attempts to maintain a stable value by using an algorithm that locks in a variety of crypto assets in smart contracts as collateral, and adjusts this portfolio dynamically.
USDC dependence: USDC represents a significant portion of DAI’s collateral. If USDC de-pegs, or the issuer of USDC freezes USDC, this could cause DAI to de-peg.
Operational and Technical Risks: DAI’s algorithm could suffer a failure, bug, exploit or other issue which may lead to a failure in their ability to allow tokens to be redeemed for any underlying collateral, which could cause DAI to de-peg. Please see here for the DAI risk statement."}}
