Guide to DeFi Opportunities in AID Alpha

This is a comprehensive guide on GAIB’s DeFi opportunities during the AID Alpha campaign. This guide will walk you through various strategies to maximize your rewards and earn significant point multipliers while supporting the ecosystem.

What is GAIB?

GAIB is a financial layer for AI infrastructure, turning GPU-backed assets into yield-generating opportunities. Our upcoming AI synthetic dollar, AID, gives investors exposure to the AI economy while earning yield from compute resources. Users can stake AID (sAID) to earn passive income without giving up liquidity.

To offer this yield, GAIB supports cloud providers and data centers by offering capital solutions to scale their AI operations.

Integrated with DeFi protocols like lending, borrowing, and structured products, GAIB connects AI and blockchain to open new investment opportunities.

The Final Spice

The Final Spice is a pre-deposit campaign leading up to the launch of AID. For full details you can check our launch article, but this what you need to know.

  • Deposit supported assets (USDC, USDT, USR, and CUSDO) on Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, Sei, and Story Protocol.
  • Receive AIDa receipt tokens that represent your deposit.
  • Earn Spice points with a baseline 10x multiplier, which will lead to rewards when GAIB’s token launches in 2025.
  • Original assets are locked from withdrawal until the end of the campaign, which will happen earlier than November 2025.
  • Your AIDa receipt tokens are unlocked so you can amplify your earnings by using them in various DeFi protocols.
