Unlike most other forms of cryptocurrency, DAI has a very stable value. The value is linked to the US dollar (USD), and follows the exchange rate fluctuations of this currency.<\/p>\n<p>This is one of the characteristics of stable cryptocurrencies &#8211; the value is linked to the value of commodities or traditional currency. DAI strives to maintain a value as close as possible to $ 1 through automated smart contracts on the Ethereum blockchain.<\/p>\n<div class=\"read-more-custom-link\"><span class=\"more\">also read<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/kryptovaluta.info\/en\/category\/altcoins-en\/stablecoins-en\/\">Our articles on stack coins<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"read-more-custom-link\">MakerDAO is responsible for regulating and administering DAI. MakerDAO is a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO). DAI is often referred to as an ERC20 token, which means that it is a stack coin based on Ethereum&#8217;s blockchain.<\/div>\n<h3>DAI provides security in crisis situations<\/h3>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/makerdao.com\/en\/\">MakerDAO<\/a> , the price for one unit of DAI may deviate from 1 USD, but you will still always get back 1 USD for 1 DAI. This is because in crisis situations a function called Emergency Shutdown will be activated.<\/p>\n<p>Emergency shutdown is activated, among other things, in crisis situations where DAI is exposed to data breaches or hacking, or during updates.<\/p>\n<p>The function can also be triggered if the cryptocurrency market is irrationally weak over a period of time.<\/p>\n<h2>How does DAI work?<\/h2>\n<p>DAI is based on complex technology. It is not possible to explain everything in detail here, and fortunately there is no need for you to understand the mechanics behind DAI in order to buy the currency.<\/p>\n<p>DAI is a stable coin that has security in cryptocurrency, more specifically Ethereum. In short, they are built on DAI smart contracts, and these are often referred to as Market Protocol or dApp. You can consider dApp as a decentralized app in the blockchain.<\/p>\n<div class=\"read-more-custom-link\"><span class=\"more\">also read<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/kryptovaluta.info\/en\/buy-ethereum\/\">Ethereum guide &#8211; How to buy ETH<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<p>You can compare the purchase of DAI with borrowing money from a bank. When you take out a bank loan, you are welcome to provide security in an asset, whether it is a house or a cottage. In other words, DAI can be considered a loan where Ethereum is the security.<\/p>\n<p>As Ethereum is a cryptocurrency with high volatility and exchange rate fluctuations, security must withstand these fluctuations. Therefore, you must provide 150% of the value of DAI in security. Thus, the prices for one DAI can be kept so stable.<\/p>\n<h3>What happens if Ethereum falls in value?<\/h3>\n<p>Since DAI has security in Ethereum, you may be wondering what will happen if Ethereum suddenly loses a lot of value. In such cases, the Ethereum currency will be sold, so that your loan is covered.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, you do not have to worry about the value of Ethereum dropping if you have DAI.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-15687\" src=\"http:\/\/kryptovaluta.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/ethereum-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Ethereum\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kryptovaluta.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/ethereum-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/kryptovaluta.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/ethereum-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kryptovaluta.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/ethereum-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/kryptovaluta.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/ethereum-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/kryptovaluta.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/ethereum.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Who is DAI suitable for?<\/h2>\n<p>DAI is an excellent cryptocurrency for anyone who wants to invest in crypto, but who at the same time thinks that the risk and volatility are too high. With DAI, you get cryptocurrency, but with a much lower risk of value fluctuations.<\/p>\n<p>Many who invest in traditional cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin or Ethereum choose to transfer the money to DAI during periods of high risk. Then they do not have to convert the cryptocurrency to a traditional currency such as NOK or USD, at the same time as the risk is low.<\/p>\n<div class=\"read-more-custom-link\"><span class=\"more\">also read<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/kryptovaluta.info\/en\/what-is-bitcoin\/\">What is Bitcoin<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<h2>Where can I buy DAI?<\/h2>\n<p>DAI is a cryptocurrency you can buy from exchanges that sell cryptocurrency.
