Frequently Asked Questions
What backs DAI?
DAI is backed by overcollateralized crypto cdp. The issuer is Sky (formerly MakerDAO). Reserve composition is as reported by the issuer; this page does not audit it.
How is DAI different from USDT and USDC?
USDT and USDC are the two largest USD stablecoins by circulation. DAI shares the USD peg but differs in issuer, reserve composition, chain mix, and where it is accepted. Use the comparison pages below for a field-by-field breakdown.
Where does the data on this page come from?
Circulating supply and chain distribution come from DefiLlama's stablecoin API; price and 24h volume come from CoinGecko. The page rebuilds daily at 00:00 UTC. Non-USD coins are converted to USD-equivalent using approximate reference rates, so those figures are indicative rather than exact.
