## Convert DAI from Ethereum to xDAI

### 1. Buy DAI

DAI is a widely known stablecoin on the Ethereum blockchain.

Dai can be purchased on many popular exchanges, which many are listed on <https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/multi-collateral-dai/markets/>. It is also available on many decentralized exchanges like [Oasis](https://oasis.app/trade/), [KyberSwap](https://kyberswap.com/), and [Uniswap](https://uniswap.exchange/).

After purchasing and sending DAI to your wallet, you can use [Gnosis Bridge](https://bridge.gnosischain.com/) to convert from DAI to xDAI.
