What the data says about DAI
DAI answered a question the other stablecoins on this site don't ask: can a dollar exist on-chain without a company behind it? Since 2019, the contract at 0x6b175474e89094c44da98b954eedeac495271d0f has held near a dollar not because anyone promises redemption at a bank, but because every DAI is minted against locked crypto collateral worth more than it, with interest rates and liquidations — governed by MakerDAO, now rebranded Sky — doing the work a treasurer would. No single company can freeze your DAI or pause the contract; that censorship-resistance is the property its holders are actually paying for.
The honest complications have grown over the years. A large share of DAI's backing has long included centralized stablecoins and real-world assets, which reimports a slice of the issuer risk the design was born to escape — the March 2023 weekend when USDC's depeg dragged DAI to roughly $0.89 alongside it made that dependency visible. And the 2024 rebrand to Sky, with its upgrade path to the newer USDS token, means DAI is now the legacy branch of its own ecosystem: still enormous, still redeemable through the same machinery, but no longer where its creators' roadmap points. Neither fact is a defect; both belong in the price of holding it.
One number on this page needs explicit deflation: our September 16, 2026 snapshot shows only about $159.7 million of tracked pool liquidity, which wildly underreads DAI's true market. DAI's multi-billion-dollar supply trades through Curve-style stable pools, aggregator routes, and CEX books our sample doesn't enumerate. Treat that figure as an artifact of sampling, not a liquidity warning — though for very large swaps, the quote is still the truth-teller.
Contract mechanics: no freeze authority over holders, supply governed by the protocol's vault system rather than a mint key. Verify the address — five-character lookalike tickers stalk every famous name. Figures are NexFlow's read dated September 16, 2026; the live scan refreshes them in seconds.

Is DAI a safe token?
As of the 2026-09-16 snapshot, DAI scores 80/100 (grade B) on NexFlow's on-chain read — based on its unconfirmed mint authority, unconfirmed freeze authority, liquidity of $159.69M. That grades contract and market structure, not price direction — a clean read is not a guarantee, so re-scan before trading, since on-chain state can change.
Can you sell DAI, or is it a honeypot?
Our Ethereum read covers market structure, not sell-side contract behaviour like honeypots or transfer taxes, as of 2026-09-16. Before assuming you can exit freely, run the live scan above — it reads the contract directly.
Who holds most of DAI?
Per-wallet distribution for DAI wasn't resolved in the 2026-09-16 snapshot. Run the live scan, which reads holder concentration directly from the chain.
Can DAI's supply be inflated?
This snapshot grades market structure only — contract-level supply controls on Ethereum aren't assessed here yet. Run the live scanner, which reads the contract in real time.
What is the DAI contract address?
The DAI contract address on Ethereum is 0x6b175474e89094c44da98b954eedeac495271d0f. Always verify a token by its contract address, not its name or ticker — scam clones copy tickers, but the address is unique.
Where can you buy DAI safely?
Run the live on-chain scan at the top of this page first; if DAI clears, you can swap it here directly. Whatever venue you use, match the contract address (0x6b175474e89094c44da98b954eedeac495271d0f) exactly before trading — copying the ticker is how clone scams catch buyers, and the address is the one field they can't fake.
