# Deposit DAI for vUSD

vUSD can be used across the Cronos zkEVM Ecosystem. It is pegged 1:1 to USD but you can earn yield just by holding it. Depositing DAI also earns you points in the Pioneer Program.

## Before depositing DAI via the bridge

First, you need to hold DAI on Ethereum. You can get DAI via one of the following ways:

1. Swap on [Uniswap](https://app.uniswap.org/swap)
2. Buy on a centralized exchange and withdraw to Ethereum

## Bridging DAI from Ethereum to Cronos zkEVM

**Step 1.** Head to <https://zkevm.cronos.org> and connect your wallet.
