Have you heard of the pioneer of Hybrid Finance already? It is time to meet Gain DAO.

Gain DAO is a crypto-based pool, currently starting out with Ether. We are powered by machine learning optimized trading algorithms that are operating in traditional financial markets. This way, Gain DAO serves as a bridge between centralized and decentralized financial systems, leveraging their strengths to create something new: Hybrid Finance.

As a GAIN token holder, you benefit from the possible appreciation of the underlying base asset (Ether) and from algorithmic trading strategies intended to grow the amount of Ether in the Gain Pool.

Is Gain DAO ‘the next big thing’ in passive yield options?

While we do want to create a buzz around Gain DAO, we don’t want to be seen as ‘the next big thing’. Gain DAO isn’t a hype or a spark that shines brightly during its fifteen minutes of fame, only to fade out quickly.

At Gain DAO we are ready to stay, grow and change. Because we are sustainable, innovative and democratic.

The sustainability of Gain DAO

We use the power of Hybrid Finance. Hybrid Finance combines the strong suits of decentralized finance (DeFi) and centralized finance (CeFi).

Compared to DeFi markets, fiat currency markets such as Forex offer greater stability and liquidity. Our trading algorithms are perfect tools to profit from these strong characteristics. The success of our algorithms is dependent upon high amounts of liquidity, competitive exchange rates, and high-quality historical data. Most cryptocurrency markets still lack these features. This means that algorithmic trading tends to be more successful in traditional currency markets. HyFi offers the best of both worlds.

By leveraging the strengths of both CeFi and Defi, Gain DAO created something new. And we are convinced: HyFi is here to stay.

Gain DAO: ready to innovate

At Gain DAO, we are starting out with Ether as the underlying base asset for our GAIN token pool. But this doesn’t mean that we let ourselves be limited by this one asset.

In 2022 Gain DAO will launch additional pools with different assets. Pools that are focused on different markets will also be a possibility. When it comes to expanding and innovating at Gain DAO, the sky’s the limit.

The democratic principles of Gain DAO

What does it mean to be a DAO (decentralized autonomous organization)?

A DAO is an organization that is controlled by computer code. This means that it has the ability to function autonomously and doesn’t need the intervention of a central authority. By using smart contracts, a DAO can work with external information. A DAO is run by a community of stakeholders that are connected by a token mechanism. In our case, we use the GAIN tokens.

The problem with traditional organizations is that they have a top-down structure. Contributions from the bottom of the pyramid often go unheard.

At Gain DAO, every investor has an opportunity to help shape the way we are run. Stakeholders can submit proposals and ideas for improvement. Those who hold a stake in the DAO have input into how funds are spent and managed. Everyone bears the same responsibility.

There can be no power plays or disagreements in a DAO thanks to its autonomous structure. Our DAO has a set of rules and policies that are pre-agreed. Stakeholders have access to these guiding principles before making their investment. Once the rules are established, the DAO executes them without the need for management. Everything happens as it should happen, when it should happen, thanks to the code and the smart contracts.

Another major advantage of our DAO is transparency. Everything that happens within Gain DAO becomes a permanent part of the blockchain. It is recorded in the distributed ledger and kept forever.

Thanks to our DAO, we won’t lose touch with the wishes and wants of our stakeholders. They are Gain DAO.
