1/2 Hello this is Doo from Stable Node and Maker Growth. Happy holidays! We would like to apply Dai as collateral on Jet Protocol. The proposal layout is based on the Collateral Asset Onboarding Template.

Collateral Asset Profile

Collateral Name (and symbol):
-Dai Stablecoin, DAI

Collateral Short Description:

-Dai is a leading decentralized stablecoin.

Total Value in Circulation & Total Value on Solana :
-$9.2 billion across all networks

On Solana, there are:
-$9.9 million Dai Stablecoin (Wormhole)
-$2.2 million Dai Stablecoin (Wormhole v1) , wDai
-$1.3 million Wrapped DAI (Allbridge from Avalanche)

Price Oracle Feeds:
There are several Oracle platforms that support Dai price feeds including MakerDAO’s own Oracle and Chainlink.

Proposal:
Detailed description of the asset and the reason(s) the Jet Community should consider onboarding it:
While Dai is a major stablecoin for many blockchain networks, its use and liquidity have been limited on the Solana ecosystem. Therefore, we are interested in having Dai as collateral to support Jet Protocol as well as Dai liquidity on the Solana ecosystem.

Use Cases
Description(s) of who will use the asset as collateral and for what purpose it will be borrowed against:
As Dai is a leading decentralized stablecoin. It’s widely used in various DeFi and NFT protocols across different networks as well as remittance, payments, and many others.

Hi, thanks for the writeup. Could you speak about the adoption and use cases of DAI on Solana?

In terms of liquidity I think there are only two LP:

Saber/ 2m DAI ( Saber Info)

mercurial/ 2.6m DAI (Home | Mercurial Finance)

Is this correct?

From what I gathered:
On Solana, there are:
-$9.9 million Dai Stablecoin (Wormhole)
-$2.2 million Dai Stablecoin (Wormhole v1) , wDai
-$1.3 million Wrapped DAI (Allbridge from Avalanche)

In terms of LP, I think you are correct.

Thank you and happy holidays!

Hi @Doo. What’s the plan to harmonise the tokens from multiple bridges? Are you asking us to support multiple tokens from all the bridges here, or what?

I personally see a lot of potential in DAI as one of a small number of robust stable coins and would like to see a strong application and vote as soon as possible.

While that is up to discussion with the community, I think Dai Stablecoin (Wormhole) is the most likely candidate. We will see what collaborations are available as well.
