Breaking News: Transition from DAI to USDS

MakerDAO has announced a major rebranding, transitioning from DAI to USDS and changing its name to Sky. 

Important changes include:

Key Changes

  • DAI will be replaced by USDS

  • MakerDAO becomes Sky

  • Both tokens will coexist

  • 1:1 exchange ratio between DAI and USDS

New Features in USDS

  • Introduction of centralized functions

  • Ability to freeze assets

  • Access restrictions for UK and US users

  • Potential restrictions for other groups

Why These Changes Matter

  • Enables passive income through US Treasury bonds

  • Improves security for secondary market transactions

  • Requires more centralized control features

Market Scale and Trust

The current market capitalization of Dai is €5.14 billion. This is not just a number - it's an indicator of user trust in the system. For comparison, it's as if every resident of a major European city held their savings in the system. The high market capitalization makes DAI one of the largest decentralized stablecoins in the world and shows that thousands of people and organizations trust their funds to this system.

What are MakerDAO and DAI?

Once, the emergence of the internet changed how people communicate. MakerDAO is doing something similar with finance. It's as if you could create your own bank, where rules are transparent and unchangeable, and all decisions are made by the community rather than a group of managers in expensive suits.

How Does DAI Work?

Imagine that USDT (Tether) is like dollars in a digital bank cell: Tether company says "trust us, the money is there," but you can't look inside. DAI works differently. It's like a transparent safe where everyone can see what's inside. Moreover, this safe always holds more value than the amount of DAI issued. If something goes wrong, the system will automatically conduct a "sale" of collateral to protect DAI's value.
