Dai (DAI) vs Stellar (XLM)

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.

Stellar is a layer 1 blockchain platform designed to support fast, secure, and low-cost value transfers between different currencies. Launched in 2014 by one of the co-founders of Ripple, another cryptocurrency project aimed at facilitating cross-border payments for businesses and institutions, Stellar focuses more on modest daily exchanges. The Stellar network uses a unique consensus protocol, the Stellar Consensus Protocol (SCP), which allows for rapid transaction confirmation without relying on Proof of Work (PoW) or Proof of Stake (PoS).
