DAI is the first decentralized, collateral-backed cryptocurrency. It strives to maintain a stable 1:1 value with the U.S. dollar by locking other crypto assets in contracts, and it is run by a decentralized application on the Ethereum blockchain rather than a centralized company.

The open-source software behind DAI is called the Maker Protocol, and the governance token of the system is called MKR.

Paul Puey (Edge CEO) and I explain how exactly it works.

We also put our money where our mouths are: we each decide whether to invest $100. This is not investment advice, we're just giving you a peek into our own portfolios and how we make decisions for ourselves. Keep in mind, I'm more interested in the team, the tech, and whether it's a cool project than in short term gains.
