DCAI

DCAI is a decentralized infrastructure token powering AI computation, storage, and staking rewards across the Web3 ecosystem. DCAI is a utility token within the Dynachain ecosystem that supports decentralized compute and storage infrastructure for artificial intelligence (AI) and data-intensive applications. Launched in 16th May 2025 by a team based in SEA, DCAI functions as both a staking and operational token within a broader DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network) model. The DCAI project was introduced following a strategic decision by Dynachain to transition part of its ecosystem into a DePIN-oriented framework. To support the launch, Dynachain executed a burn of 100 million DYNA tokens—representing 20% of DYNA’s total supply—to reduce its overall supply and create an independent value structure for DCAI. The DCAI token was not distributed via presale or private rounds. All tokens must be acquired via public decentralized exchanges, primarily on the Base blockchain. At its core, DCAI powers a multi-phase decentralized infrastructure strategy. In the early phase, DCAI is integrated into a staking system, which allows users to stake their DCAI tokens and earn variable APY based on staking tiers and total value locked (TVL). The mechanism includes a dynamic interest model, where APY rates decrease as overall participation increases. In parallel, DCAI is designed to support future DePIN applications involving distributed compute and storage infrastructure. Users will be able to deploy eligible edge devices (such as AI-optimized hardware or storage nodes) to contribute to decentralized computing tasks, data storage, and machine learning workloads. These contributors will be compensated in DCAI, creating a direct incentive layer for physical infrastructure provisioning. The project’s roadmap includes the release of a proprietary distributed storage device, with the initial production batch expected to reach 2,000 units. Participants operating these devices will be required to stake DCAI to activate them, further reinforcing token demand. Users without devices can still participate by acquiring and staking DCAI tokens to support the network and earn rewards. In terms of utility, DCAI will be used for: Staking rewards in the staking system Incentives for compute and storage contribution Payment for AI model access or storage services within the Dynachain ecosystem All DCAI activity is managed through smart contracts deployed on Base Chain, ensuring transparent and verifiable staking and reward distribution. The system is fully non-custodial, and token holders maintain control over their assets throughout participation. DCAI aims to support a long-term decentralized infrastructure model by combining on-chain staking incentives with physical hardware deployment and token-based coordination. The project focuses on bridging AI, data processing, and Web3 infrastructure in a modular, permissionless environment.
