What to know about Dai and Cardano

Dai

Dai (DAI) is a decentralized dollar stablecoin created by the Maker protocol (MakerDAO) in 2017 and now part of the Sky ecosystem. Unlike USDT or USDC, DAI is not issued against bank deposits: it is created by users who lock crypto collateral in smart contracts.

Sending and receiving DAI

DAI is an ERC20 token on Ethereum and is also available on other networks such as BNB Smart Chain and Polygon. Check the network before sending and keep some of the native coin for fees.

Cardano (ADA)

Cardano (ADA) is a Proof of Stake blockchain launched in 2017 and led by Charles Hoskinson, one of the co-founders of Ethereum. The project is known for its research-driven, peer-reviewed approach to development.

How Cardano works

Cardano uses the Ouroboros consensus protocol, with a block about every 20 seconds, and an extended UTXO model. ADA holders can delegate to stake pools without locking their coins. The maximum supply is 45 billion ADA.

How to exchange Dai to Cardano

  1. Enter the DAI amount in the calculator (minimum 200 DAI) and click “Go to exchange”.
  2. Enter your ADA wallet address on the Cardano network and your contact details.
  3. Send exactly the specified amount of DAI on the Dai network to the details shown in the order.
  4. Once the transfer is confirmed, Cardano is sent to your address. You can track the order on its status page.

Exchange DAI to ADA

What to check before exchanging DAI to ADA

  • The recipient address must be on the Cardano network: funds sent on another network may be lost.
  • The amount sent must be at least 200 DAI.
  • Copy the whole address and check the first and last characters after pasting.
  • Funds go through an AML check; high-risk transfers may be held until the check is complete.
