Pay for Hosting with Dai (DAI)
Fund your ChainVPS balance with Dai (DAI), the decentralized dollar-pegged stablecoin, and keep your hosting spend steady without touching a bank or a KYC form.
Network
Ethereum ERC-20 (also bridged to L2s: Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, Gnosis)
Privacy
Transparent
Network fees
Variable. On Ethereum mainnet the network gas fee rises and falls with congestion and can be significant; sending Dai over a layer-2 or sidechain is typically much cheaper.
Settlement
Usually credited to your ChainVPS balance within minutes once the network confirms the transaction; busy periods on Ethereum mainnet can take longer.
Paying with Dai (DAI)
Dai is a decentralized stablecoin issued by the Maker/Sky protocol on Ethereum, designed to hold a value close to one US dollar by being backed by on-chain crypto collateral rather than a company's bank reserves. It is a standard ERC-20 token, so any Ethereum-compatible wallet can hold and send it, and it is also bridged to several layer-2 and sidechain networks for cheaper transfers.
Privacy: Dai is transparent, not private: every transfer is recorded on a public blockchain where balances and payment history can be traced by anyone. Paying with Dai does not hide your activity on-chain — ChainVPS simply does not ask for identity documents, but the transaction itself is fully visible on the ledger.
Best for: Anyone who wants a stable, dollar-pegged balance that won't drift in value between top-ups, without holding a centralized issuer's coin or passing KYC.
How it works
Top up in four steps
- 1
Choose Dai at checkout
On the ChainVPS top-up page, select Dai (DAI) as your payment coin and enter the amount you want to add to your account balance.
- 2
Get the payment address
The panel shows a unique receiving address (and the network to use, such as Ethereum ERC-20 or a supported L2). Double-check you are sending on the matching network.
- 3
Send from your wallet
Open your non-custodial wallet, paste the ChainVPS address, and send the exact Dai amount. Leave enough of the network's gas token (ETH, or the L2's gas coin) to cover the fee.
- 4
Balance is credited automatically
Once the network confirms your transfer, ChainVPS credits your prepaid balance automatically and your services draw from it — no invoice to reconcile by hand.
Wallets
Send DAI from any of these
Non-custodial wallets keep your keys in your hands. ChainVPS never asks for a wallet login or seed phrase.

Questions
Paying with Dai (DAI) — FAQ
Which network should I send Dai on?
Send on the network shown in your ChainVPS top-up panel. Dai lives natively on Ethereum as an ERC-20 token and is also bridged to networks like Polygon, Arbitrum and Optimism. Sending on a network the panel doesn't list, or mismatching the address to the network, can cause the funds to be lost.
Is paying with Dai private?
No. Dai is a transparent, public-ledger asset, so the transfer and the addresses involved are visible on-chain to anyone who looks. ChainVPS does not require identity verification to top up, but the payment itself is not private. If on-chain privacy matters to you, consider a privacy-by-default coin like Monero instead.
Do I need ETH to send Dai?
Yes, if you send on Ethereum mainnet you need a small amount of ETH in the same wallet to pay the gas fee, since Dai is an ERC-20 token and cannot pay its own gas. On a layer-2 or sidechain you instead need a little of that network's gas coin. Fees vary with network congestion.
