Dai Stablecoin

DAI is a tokenised form of the U.S. dollar designed for use on blockchain networks, but it is not issued or backed directly by a bank or government. Each DAI aims to be worth 1 USD and is backed by collateral held in smart contracts on the Maker Protocol. Crypto custodians securely hold and manage digital assets on behalf of users or companies. There are three different types of crypto custodians: centralised custodians, decentralised custodians, and hybrid custodians.
