This document contains the necessary resources for an exchange or wallet to integrate the DAI and MKR ERC-20 tokens.

Prerequisites

This document assumes familiarity with Ethereum, how to integrate ERC-20 tokens, and basic knowledge of the Maker platform.

Token contracts

In order to interact directly with the tokens, you can find the Ethereum mainnet smart contract addresses, source code, and ABIs in the links below. The tokens follow the ERC20 token standard, and thus should be interoperable with contracts that implement this standard interface.

Ethereum Mainnet

Live Ethereum mainnet deployments:

• DAI:      0x6b175474e89094c44da98b954eedeac495271d0f
• MKR:    0x9f8F72aA9304c8B593d555F12eF6589cC3A579A2

Kovan Testnet

For testing, token contracts on the Kovan testnet can be found here:

• DAI:      0x4f96fe3b7a6cf9725f59d353f723c1bdb64ca6aa
• MKR:    0xAaF64BFCC32d0F15873a02163e7E500671a4ffcD

Listing symbols

When listing Dai or Maker tokens on exchanges or in wallets, you should use the following currency notations.

• DAI      Icon source
• MKR    Icon source

Token libraries

Javascript Library
Dai.js is a javascript library that exposes the functionality of the Maker Protocol smart contracts in a javascript environment, mitigating the need to integrate directly with the smart contract layer. It can, among other things, be used to implement token transfers.

• Source: https://github.com/makerdao/dai.js

Python API

Similarly to the library above, the Python API provides endpoints to interact with the smart contracts in a Python environment, such as endpoints for token transfers.
