Today we are super excited to integrate our 3rd token for tipping - DAI . The eth based stable coin created by the Maker DAO project smart contract.
It's important to note that this is NOT a "sponsorship". We haven't taken any payment from MakerDAO or DAI, we are just adding it and we are paying the DAI ourselves (with up to $3000 in DAI tips allocated - here's our payout address, with the DAI just sent in there ready :))
We have added DAI because we think it is probably THE best example of token utility on the etherereum network...
DAI is created with the MakerDAO smart contact which as 1.3% of all ETH locked up into it, worth $450 million, to create 80+ million DAI coins. This smart contract has held up and not been broken or hacked while ETH has fallen through $400 price support, down under $100 and back up to $270. DAI has held it's $1 peg very well, and we think it's THE stable coin of choice as it is TRUSTLESS, and the MakerDAO project is THE leading example of working token utility on a massive scale. When people ask you "where's the usage though?!", point them to MakerDAO and the DAI stablecoin.
