Buy Dai (DAI)
Buy DAI instantly with credit card, Apple Pay, or bank transfer. Just type "Buy DAI" and ChainATM's AI handles the rest, straight into your self-custody wallet.
What is Dai?
DAI is a decentralized stablecoin pegged to the US dollar, created by MakerDAO. Unlike centralized stablecoins, DAI is backed by crypto collateral and governed by its community. Buy DAI with ChainATM. Say "Buy DAI" and receive it in your self-custody wallet. Buying DAI is the usual first step into crypto: you convert euros into a token that holds its value, then decide what to do next without being rushed by price movement. On ChainATM, USDC and EURC carry 0% fees.
How buying DAI works
Buying Dai through ChainATM is one instruction: say "Buy €100 of DAI" and the AI handles the on-ramp, the routing, and delivery to your wallet. Payment goes through the Coinbase-powered on-ramp — card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, or SEPA transfer — with KYC done once at Coinbase rather than on every purchase.
What to weigh before buying DAI
- A stablecoin is designed to track its peg, so it is the least volatile thing here — but "stable" is not "risk-free". You are relying on the issuer holding real reserves and honouring redemptions.
- DAI exists on more than one chain (Ethereum, Polygon, Optimism, Arbitrum, Base), and they are not interchangeable. Sending to an address on the wrong chain is the most common way people lose funds. Tell ChainATM which chain you want and it delivers there.
- Crypto bought through ChainATM lands in your own wallet, not an exchange balance. That means no withdrawal step and no counterparty holding your funds — and equally, that the seed phrase is yours to protect.
