Coinbase Now Supports New Multi-Collateral DAI Version

Coinbase announced plans to upgrade from the current single-collateral DAI to the new multi-collateral DAI version.

Based on a post by Coinbase, the change to the new multi-collateral DAI version follows the launch of the multi-collateral DAI stablecoin by Maker.

Accordingly, the multi-collateral DAI version brings about some changes to the existing DAI stablecoin. The outgoing version (the single collateral DAI) only supports Ethereum. But, the new multi-collateral DAI version makes it possible to use both Ethereum and other ERC20 tokens to create DAI. Also, Maker token holders get the chance to vote eligible collateral types.

Importantly, Coinbase and Coinbase Pro plan to support multi-collateral DAI starting from the 2nd of December at 9 AM PST.

Accordingly, they plan to automatically convert any users DAI held on Coinbase to multi-collateral DAI. Also, it requires no action from users to upgrade. Users just need to keep the DAI they own on Coinbase and they’ll receive the upgraded coin.

Besides, users that want Coinbase to upgrade DAI held elsewhere just need to send it to Coinbase prior to the specified date. Then, the DAI gets upgraded automatically.

Also, if users don’t want the DAI held on Coinbase to be upgraded to multi-collateral DAI, they just need to sell or withdraw the DAI tokens before the date.

Other ways to upgrade

Users also get the chance to upgrade to multi-collateral DAI themselves with the separate Coinbase Wallet app. As it supports both forms of DAI and offers a simple upgrade tool that’s useful anytime.

Furthermore, if after the upgrade starts a user wants to change single-collateral DAI held elsewhere just send it to your Coinbase account. There’s going to be more upgrades in the coming months. Also, announcements concerning the dates come up 2 weeks in advance.
