xDAI (xDAI) stablecoin analytics
Answer First
What is xDAI?
xDAI is the native gas token of Gnosis Chain, backed 1:1 by USDS bridged through Gnosis bridge infrastructure and inheriting Sky's collateral mix. The static profile records its US Dollar peg mechanism as: Native gas token on Gnosis Chain backed by bridged USDS; users can bridge between USDS and xDAI through official Gnosis bridge routes
Is xDAI safe?
xDAI holds a C+ Safety Score grade (61/100) in Pharos's latest published rating — a middle-tier grade that meets baseline expectations but carries meaningful weaknesses, so Pharos does not consider it clearly safe. Static metadata says xDAI uses a CeFi-Dependent governance model and Crypto-Collateralized backing, with Real-Time PoR from Gnosis xDAI TokenBridge contracts; the main caveat is that freeze exposure is inherited through upstream collateral, custody, or wrapper dependencies. Treat the live peg, liquidity, reserve, dependency, and Safety Score sections below as the current risk read.

AI summary / Updated Sep 7, 2026
xDAI is the native gas token of Gnosis Chain, credited only when the canonical xDAI bridge escrows USDS on Ethereum, so its peg quality cascades from Sky and from Gnosis bridge infrastructure. Unlike a normal ERC-20 stablecoin, its canonical supply is native-chain accounting, so Pharos lists the WXDAI wrapper as a traded contract rather than using it as the supply contract. The reserve view is a bridge escrow: after the completed migration from DAI, the Foreign Bridge holds almost all of its collateral as sUSDS...
