Token StandardsCreating an ERC20 Token on EthereumDAI is a stable coin that is backed by the ether cryptocurrency. It also has a set of smart contracts that allow people to lock their ether and create stablecoins called Dai. The Dai token has a price target of $1 USD and allows people to trade between other cryptocurrencies without worrying about volatility.
