Invest

Earn yield from building Canadian infrastructure.

Deposit for an algorithmically stabilised synthetic Canadian dollar. Stake it for yield drawn from real energy and compute loans, not token subsidies or trading fees. Reserve composition and valuation methods are disclosed; that transparency is the trust anchor.

How it works

Capital in, yield out. No loans to originate or manage.

Step 01

Deposit for CADS

Deposit into the protocol and receive CADS, an algorithmic stablecoin stabilised against CAD over a blended, algorithmically-valued reserve. Mint size tracks that valuation, not a fixed cash reserve per unit. CADS is liquid and composable; it does not itself accrue yield.

Step 02

Stake for sCADS

Stake CADS to mint sCADS, the yield-bearing token. Yield accrues into a rising exchange rate; there is nothing to claim manually.

Step 03

Earn from the loan book

Your yield is drawn from two real sources: interest paid by infrastructure borrowers, and T-bill yield on idle reserves between deployments.

The depositor instruments

A stable unit and its yield-bearing counterpart.

CADS Synthetic Canadian dollar

Algorithmic stablecoin. Stabilised against CAD over a blended, multi-method-valued reserve. Redeemable, liquid, composable.

Type: Algorithmic stablecoin
Peg: Tracks CAD (algorithmic)
Reserve: Blended, multi-method valued
Yield: None (hold / transfer / trade)
Mint / burn: On deposit / redemption

sCADS Staked CADS

The yield-bearing credit instrument. Earn from the infrastructure loan book.

Yield sources: Loan interest + T-bills
Accrual: Rising CADS:sCADS rate
Redemption: Epoch queue (FIFO)
Liquidity: Northern Queue priority bidding

CADS is not an aggregator token

Two designs, deliberately distinct.

CADS is DAI Compute’s own algorithmic stablecoin: stabilised against CAD by a blended, algorithmically-valued portfolio (fiat, other tokens, financial products, physical assets, hardware). It is not one-to-one fiat-collateralised. Transparency of reserve composition and valuation methods is the trust anchor.

Aggregator tokens

Collateralised, ratio self-chosen.

Qualifying aggregators issue collateralised, asset-backed tokens. DAI Compute requires genuine, provable collateralisation. It does not enforce a fixed collateral ratio; each aggregator sets its own (overcollateralised or fractional). See the aggregator standard.

Why you can trust it

Verified, backed, and sovereign.

Proof of reserves

Verify on-chain

View the real-time status of treasury assets, loans, and collateral directly on-chain. The on-chain register is the authoritative record of every position.

Asset-backed

Real collateral

Yield reflects the actual economics of Canadian energy and compute infrastructure, secured by physical hardware and its cashflows.

Orderly exits

Northern Queue

Redemptions run on fixed epochs with an auction-based priority queue, so the protocol never force-liquidates infrastructure loans to satisfy withdrawals.

Where we are

DAI Compute is pre-launch and pursuing regulatory clarity through the CSA Sandbox. No financial product is offered yet, and no live yield or deposit figures are published until that pathway is clear. This is not investment advice. Register your interest to be part of the first cohort when deposits open.
