What to watch on DAI
DAI yield FAQ
The highest DAI rate we currently track is 17% APY on CoinDepo, which we grade F for safety. These are base rates refreshed daily — not promotional teasers.
It depends on the platform, not the coin. We grade every platform A–F on five checks: regulation, proof-of-reserves, flexible withdrawals, an insurance fund, and track record. Check the grade next to each rate before depositing — a higher APY often means higher risk.
No. We track 2 platforms for DAI and publish base rates only — never the headline promo or teaser tiers that apply to tiny balances. Floating rates are labelled as snapshots, so the number reflects what a normal balance realistically earns.
What is DAI
DAI is the decentralized stablecoin created by MakerDAO in 2017. It is minted against overcollateralized crypto deposits and real-world assets such as US Treasuries; no company holds a bank deposit behind it. Since 2024 the protocol operates as Sky, and DAI converts 1:1 into its successor, USDS.
