Chainlink (LINK) vs Dai (DAI)

Chainlink is a decentralized oracle network that allows smart contracts hosted on the blockchain to access off-chain data, meaning data from outside the blockchain. Whether it is blockchains, protocols, or any other cryptocurrency project, it is essential to be able to use information from the outside world to function, such as the price of a cryptocurrency. The infrastructure of Chainlink relies on distributed sources and oracles, enabling the provision of high-quality, accurate, and above all, incorruptible data.

MakerDAO is an emblematic project of decentralized finance (DeFi) on Ethereum. The protocol is designed to issue and manage DAI, a decentralized stablecoin pegged to the US dollar. This is done through a combination of mechanisms, including a system that allows users to deposit collateral assets in order to borrow a certain amount of DAI. MakerDAO also has MKR, a governance token used to vote on various aspects of the protocol, including risk management strategies or the tokens accepted as collateral.
