Гаманець для MAI (Base)

What is MAI (Base) (MIMATIC)?

The ticker throws people off first, so start there: MAI trades as MIMATIC, and it has nothing to do with the coin that pays gas on Polygon. The name is a leftover from where QiDao first deployed the stablecoin. MAI is a dollar-pegged token, overcollateralised by design, created when a user locks collateral in a vault and borrows against it; the borrower repays MAI to get the collateral back.

For the person simply holding it, none of that vault machinery applies. MAI in your wallet is a standard ERC-20 with no liquidation risk of its own and no position attached. Two details do apply:

• The peg is soft. MAI is designed to trade around a dollar and is defended by collateral and arbitrage, not by a guarantee, so quotes drift a little either side.
• This is the deployment on one specific chain. Each deployment has its own contract, and they are bridged rather than fungible across chains. The ticker is identical everywhere, which is precisely why it is worth reading the chain label on any deposit address you are given.

Supported networks in Tangem (1): Base.

Where Tangem helps with a token like this is bookkeeping: MAI is listed with its own balance, and the network a payment leaves on is spelled out on the confirmation screen before you tap the card. You still decide which chain is right, but you decide it with the facts in view - a reasonable arrangement for a stablecoin that wears the same ticker in more than one place.
