Specifications Backing Over-collateralized with crypto assets and tokenized U.S. Treasuries. Redemption DAI holders can upgrade to USDS at a 1:1 ratio. KYC required No
Use cases DeFi collateral, Trading, Payments
Mint and redeem DAI is generated through non-custodial Sky Protocol Vaults against collateral assets approved by Sky Ecosystem Governance. A Vault owner locks approved collateral and generates DAI as debt; to recover the collateral, the owner repays the generated DAI plus the applicable Stability Fee. The protocol also provides a converter for 1:1 DAI-USDS conversions. Redemption is therefore through protocol debt repayment, protocol conversion or secondary markets rather than fiat redemption with a central issuer. The cited protocol documentation does not state a KYC requirement or a single product-wide minimum; collateralization and debt parameters vary by Vault type. unverified

Background

DAI is a stablecoin that was initially launched by MakerDAO and is now managed under Sky Protocol. It maintains a peg to the USD and is backed by a mix of crypto and real-world assets. DAI can be upgraded 1:1 to USDS; DAI remains active. DAI operates as an over-collateralized stablecoin, allowing users to hold a stable value token backed by various assets. DAI's reserves include crypto assets and tokenized U.S. Treasuries, ensuring over-collateralization.
