DART is the first Decentralized Auditable Resource Tracker which serves as an autonomous and anonymous bridge to connect exchanges, real world projects, liquidity pools, developers and participants in a unique, highly sophisticated ecosystem.
DART is built entirely around the USDC stablecoin ecosystem, which is the most stable and trusted stablecoin that undergoes monthly third-party audits to ensure it has sufficient liquidity in reserves.
DART is designed to offset the single biggest financial danger facing the average person – depreciation of currency through inflation.
This is a form of capital destruction that cannot be easily countered except by challenging the very notion of currencies are understood.
There are 3 strategies to participate in DART: Exchange, Trade, Yield.
Exchange is where you can create a basket of resources to protect you from monetary debasement of USD or other fiat currencies.
Trade is the mechanism to allow you to participate in trading activities through vetted third-party applications.
Yield is the mechanism that allows you to maintain a liquid, long term wallet that produces a yield greater than prevailing inflation to keep your value protected.
No. DART is a complete ecosystem that is NOT dependent on the value of a single token. As the total assets, wallets and participants grow, DART will release a token that can be moved to independent wallets while still benefiting from the yield functions. This will be determined by an anonymous vote by all the users on the platform through a governance proposal.
Our team is comprised to 10+ participants from the DeFi Community. The project is structured like a DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization) but more importantly, is created to function independent of a central team. The bridge and liquidity in the platform are made up of multiple exchanges to offset risks and the need of a single team.
Notable team members include Mr. Akis Kourouzides who has over 20 years of experience in Major International Banking, AML regulations and Internal Procedures; Demetris Papadopoulos who is an accomplished media consultant and a thought leader in digital marketing and entrepreneurship; Vasileous P who has 15+ years experience in military, ecommerce, and blockchain projects.
Almost every function on the platform is autonomous and automated except for support which is managed by a revolving team of volunteers and core DART team members.
While most decisions are currently made via a vote system with the core team, over time macro decision-making will be delegated to voting across the platform.

As a matter of principle, DART does not maintain social media presence on any platform that is against free speech and open internet.
Many people fall into the idea that money is represented by the ‘number’ or the ‘amount’ of a currency you hold. Money is more precisely defined as ‘how many resources can this acquire’. DART is designed to automatically track resources in the real world and the crypto world, and via distributed holdings, track against any rise in value.
Exchange functions as a simple conversion mechanism that allows you to convert your USDC holdings into baskets of other resources. You can hold your currency in the form of gold, silver, US dollar, BTC, ETH and other 60+ assets. This strategy serves as a hedge against runaway inflation as you have assets that are not valued in USD in your portfolio to offset changes. Essentially, you create baskets of Resources instead of baskets of just ‘money’.
Trade is your opportunity to apply third party applications, systems, and concepts to participate in the large-scale markets to exponentially increase your holdings. This type of trading comes with its set of risks, and each trading application lists its parameters so you can determine which strategy is suitable for you. In the background, multiple exchanges and liquidity providers are anonymously engaged so you do not need to maintain multiple accounts on various exchanges.
Yield Wallet allows you to plan longer term and protect your true capital value. This wallet type interacts with the Liquidity Pools that place capital in real world assets and resources that have a cashflow or revenue mechanism to them. This means as inflation or cost of living increases, the yield increases accordingly and protects you against it.
Since DART functions like a DAO, there is no central ‘company’ that charges fees. DART is designed to be largely free and open, and all fees in the platform are a function of the underlying service providers, exchanges, and incidentals. Listed below are all the fees that you may incur with DART:
The DART Trading Layer Program (DTLP) has been designed to serve as a third party, trustless layer that protects both Trade Service providers (such as Trading Bots, Scripts, and Copy-Trading experts) and Wallet holders or users that avail these services. Such services are available in traditional Fiat markets through combinations of custodians, brokerages, and regulated asset managers. DART creates the same structure on the BlockChain using trustless layers for digital assets and entities that handle the same functions. The DTLP service was established in mid-2021 amid the boom in cryptocurrency markets to solve the issue of trustless trading across multiple exchanges without creating a technical challenge for the average user. To maintain the neutrality, DART never promotes or advertises any TSP, nor lists active TSPs on the platform.
There are 3 distinct risks that must be mitigated especially in the cryptocurrency trading industry. DART serves as an independent verification and trade execution channel like how Google and Apple monitor applications on their network or how FINRA applies standards to its participants. Proposals at the SEC and CFTC seek to install safeguards like the ones proposed below and are often applied by Administrators and Custodians in fund management.
Note that there are always risks associated with any trading including but not limited to price events, technical failures, liquidity failures, and market-wide failures. Be mindful and do not add more capital to trading than you can afford to lose, regardless of the performance history or forecasting presented by a TSP. Similarly, there are certain benefits available to the Trade Service providers:
To maintain its third-party status, DART does not manage or hold capital and simply serves as the API layer that reports the balances and performances. Payments and exchange services are provided by MSB and FINRA license holders in the US and CASP or Custodial license holders in non-US jurisdictions.
To participate in DLTP as a Trade Service Provider, you must be onboarded with the Dart Labs program here.
