What is Dai (DAI)?

- Collateralization: Users deposit Ethereum-based assets (e.g., ETH, WBTC) into Maker Vaults.
- Stability Mechanism: Smart contracts and governance ensure DAI remains pegged to $1.
- Decentralization: No single entity controls DAI; it is governed by MakerDAO token holders.
Advantages of Dai (DAI)
