We’re DAI-ing to Meet You: Explore MakerDAO
At first glance, DAI and MakerDAO are a lot of acronyms and lingo that can be slightly intimidating. Anyone can become informed and participate. Dive in as much or as little as you want. Learn to buy, save, or beyond. The secret to knowing DAI (or faking it until finding an answer) is found in the Awesome MakerDAO Community Resource Guide.
Still have questions? Want to get involved? Visit the MakerDAO Community Forum and ask. The community is made of interested people like yourself, and Community Leaders from MakerDAO. Share your skills in growing the MakerDAO Community, no experience necessary. The MakerDAO culture is very warm, welcoming, and ready to help. We would love to meet you!

How to Purchase DAI with Cash in the U.S. (No Bank Account, Credit Card, or Debit Card Required)
Maybe you have visited the Coinstar machine in the grocery store when cashing in your stockpiles of change, or just seen them when checking out. These kiosks now offer the ability to buy Bitcoin with cash. You can easily turn that into DAI and lock in an amazing savings rate on the Oasis DeFi platform by MakerDAO.
- Open a Coinbase account and complete the ‘know your customer requirements’
- Purchase Bitcoin from the Coinstar Kiosk using cash. A voucher will be printed that you can redeem online
- Use a Coinbase receive address for Bitcoin when redeeming your voucher
- When the Bitcoin has posted to your Coinbase account, select Trade to turn your Bitcoin into DAI (Specify an amount or choose the maximum amount to exchange all Bitcoin)
- Send your DAI to a Web3 capable wallet such as Metamask or Coinbase Wallet and head to Oasis
- Click ‘Save’ and follow the prompts to lock your DAI into an amazing savings interest rate, that not even your mom’s credit union could match!
