what's usdai?

USDai is a decentralized stablecoin protocol designed as an AI-powered synthetic dollar that maintains a 1:1 peg to the US dollar through algorithmic mechanisms and collateralized lending. It operates primarily on the Arbitrum ecosystem, with integrations into DeFi platforms like Pendle for yield trading, Euler for borrowing, and Plasma for advanced vaults. The project enables financing of AI infrastructure by tokenizing GPUs as collateral, allowing up to 70% LTV loans for compute resources. Backed by investors including Framework Ventures, it has raised $13.4M in Series A funding and features an airdrop program called The Allo Game to incentivize participation. USDai has scaled to over $500M in deposit caps and $110M TVL, emphasizing transparency and community-driven growth in onchain AI finance.
