The scope of DAI, a leading stablecoin in the crypto world, is widely discussed recently. It is preferred over other options like Ethena's USDe and Tether's USDT, particularly with compliance requirements like MiCA regulations. Moreover, crypto users have been actively seeking alternatives to mainstream options like USDT. The Ethereum Foundation has made noteworthy strides towards fostering the advancement of DAI, with dedicated initiatives like the dAI Team for bridging blockchain and AI. Moreover, the potential of Ethereum becoming a central settlement layer for AI agents has been discussed.
Coinbase's recent exploit led to the conversion of $5M DAI to USDC. MakerDAO, the pioneering force behind DAI, notably rebranded to Sky, with their stablecoin DAI upgradeable to USDS. Notably, Sky's USDS stablecoin has surged past $2 billion in circulation. Sky, formerly MakerDAO, has even deployed its stablecoin on Solana. However, the expansion hasn't been without flaws. A Sky-associated DeFi savings protocol slumped to a $5M loss.
On the flipside, a significant controversy lies in the issue of decentralization, with critics pointing that DAI is largely centralized. Within this turbulence, MakerDAO's founder has hinted at the launch of a 'PureDai' in the future, signaling further innovation on the horizon.
