# Dai (DAI) Quantum Readiness Report

> Dai has a QRI score of 25/100 and is assessed at Stage 2 (Mitigation / Development) with medium evidence confidence.

Evaluation date: 2026-06-05. Review status: draft. Evaluated scope: ERC-20 stablecoin token on Ethereum mainnet; inherits L1 Score [Ethereum] with token-specific admin/governance key evaluation.

Dai (DAI) is a standard ERC-20 stablecoin on Ethereum that inherits its host chain's quantum-readiness posture (Ethereum QRI: 25/100, Migration Stage 2 per LayerQu). The token itself has no independent cryptographic layer; all transfers and ownership rely on Ethereum's ECDSA secp256k1 signatures. MakerDAO/Sky governance controls (minting parameters, collateral ratios, stability fees) are administered via classical ECDSA multisig wallets, creating an additional quantum-vulnerable surface. No public cryptographic inventory, quantum threat assessment, or migration roadmap has been published by MakerDAO/Sky. DAI's quantum readiness is therefore entirely gated by Ethereum's future base-layer migration and MakerDAO's eventual governance coordination.
