Problem
Cryptocurrency holders seeking to earn passive income through staking often face a trade-off between convenience and security. Custodial staking services require users to surrender control of their private keys, exposing them to counterparty risk, while self-managed staking demands significant technical expertise and exposes validators to financial losses from downtime or misconfiguration.
Solution
DAIC provides a non-custodial staking platform that allows users to stake their cryptocurrencies while maintaining full control of their assets. The company operates validators across 26 proof-of-stake chains, including Sui, Aptos, Cosmos, and Babylon, offering competitive APRs ranging from 0.8% to 36.72%. DAIC differentiates itself through low-commission community validators, a staking insurance fund that protects delegators against validator downtime slashing, and a demonstrated commitment to network security through its own investments in supported protocols. The platform also serves as a research hub, publishing in-depth analyses on topics such as quantum-resistant cryptography and blockchain market trends to inform both its staking strategy and the broader community.
Target Audience
Primary users are cryptocurrency investors seeking passive income through staking who prioritize asset custody and security, as well as Web3 protocols and networks requiring reliable, community-aligned validators.
