Daiko: Meet the Web3 Dog Leash that Rewards You with Every Step
In Brief
Daiko is revolutionizing dog walking by combining a patented smart leash, a walk-to-earn rewards app, and a utility token to address common challenges faced by dog owners, offering a sustainable and gamified approach to daily walks.
Dog ownership is about far more than just providing food, shelter, and exercise; it’s about nurturing a deep and rewarding bond with a beloved companion. Enter Daiko, a pet-tech startup on a mission to change dog walking forever.
By combining its patented retractable leash, a walk-to-earn rewards app, and a dedicated utility token, Daiko addresses many pain points facing modern dog owners — from dealing with the mess of dog poop bags to revitalizing motivation for daily walks.
Walk, Earn, Wag
At the core of Daiko is the innovative dog leashes and an accompanying mobile app, which will be designed to keep pets and owners happier, healthier, and more engaged in the world around them. The pride and joy of the Daiko ecosystem is its Smart Leash, loaded with smart features that connect to the Daiko App to track and reward each doggie step. Those walks are converted into the in-house currency, $DAIKO, that can be redeemed for physical or virtual goods.
But wait…Daiko isn’t just about collecting tokens; it’s about solving real-life dog-walking problems. By integrating a discreet storage pod for used waste bags (dubbed the DuPod) and a patented anti-run locking mechanism, Daiko tackles two of the most significant pain points for dog walkers — maintaining full control of the furry companion at all times and carrying dog waste without fuss or frustration.
Daiko’s combination of everyday practicality, safety, and the gamification of dog-walking makes it the first dog Web3 dog app.
Token Repurchase and Reward Pool
At Daiko, we are committed to the long-term sustainability of our ecosystem. As the manufacturer of the Daiko leash, our strategy will be to reinvest 25% of our net profits from every Daiko Leash sale into a dedicated token repurchase program. This initiative directly funnels repurchased $DAIKO tokens back into our reward pool, creating a robust, closed-loop economy that benefits the entire community.
Here’s how it works:
- Sustainable Growth: A portion of our proceeds is used to buy back $DAIKO tokens, ensuring a continuous supply for our rewards system.
- Community Benefits: The repurchased tokens are redeployed into the reward pool, enabling us to offer consistent and attractive rewards for every walk your dog takes.
- Closed-Loop Ecosystem: This reinvestment strategy creates a self-sustaining economic cycle where active participation by our community directly contributes to the long-term health of the Daiko ecosystem.
Problem Solving Un-leashed
Most existing retractable leashes handle only one function: keeping a dog within the walker’s control and walking radius. While this does address a significant issue, many key issues are left untended to.
- Waste Bag Disposal: Traditional leashes are so Web2 — they leave walkers juggling plastic bags until a dog waste trash can appears like an oasis in a desert. Daiko’s removable DuPod locks in odors and keeps the waste-carrying experience hands-free.
- Safety & Control: Urban environments can be chaotic, opening the door to leash slip-ups or unlocking at the worst of times. Daiko’s anti-run locking system prevents sudden unspooling and only unlocks peace of mind.
- Lack of Motivation: Walking a dog can become a routine that feels mundane over time. By building a walk-to-earn model, Daiko injects fun and purpose into daily dog walks — using crypto rewards to keep users engaged and motivated.
- Sustainability: Plastic and poorly made components are frequently spotted in dog walkers’ journeys, leading to regular leash replacements. Daiko’s modular design uses premium materials (including titanium) and replaceable parts to ensure a long product life (and reduced waste).
Different Dog, Different Leash
Daiko’s patented tech isn’t one-size-fits-all. The company is rolling out three core models, each in small (S), medium (M), and large (L) sizes, suitable for a tiny terrier or a roaming retriever preparing for the walk. Daiko’s leash designs are optimized for comfort, control, and functionality, and each features a Bluetooth/GPS transponder that syncs to the Daiko app for accurate walk tracking.
With Daiko’s commitment to serving the 500 million dog owners worldwide, a key part of its mission is to motivate health routines. Each time a walker and their dog step out, the Daiko App records that activity and converts it into loyalty points, which can be swapped for $DAIKO tokens and used to buy:
- Physical goods like collars, harnesses, and accessories via the Daiko marketplace.
- Digital items like virtual pet skins or in-app bonuses.
- Discounts on future Daiko purchases or upgrades.
By creating real value out of each walk, Daiko’s walk-to-earn concept brings a fun, rewarding layer to an otherwise ordinary daily chore. It also sends up 25% of physical sales profits back into the token reward pool or repurchase to create a sustainable, closed-loop economy that benefits the whole Daiko community.
Daiko makes dog walking fun again — where every dog matters and every step truly counts.
