MakerDAO and DAI

Learn how to generate the DAI stablecoin using your ETH as collateral

In this mini-course you will learn what the DAI stablecoin is and how to generate your own using ETH as collateral. After this course you will know how to wrap your ETH into WETH, pool it into PETH, and then using it to create a Collateralized Debt Position (CDP). You will also learn how the DAI system handles a "black swan event" with its global settlement mechanism winding DAI down gracefully.
