The Starting Point
DAC is a quantum-safe Layer 1. It launched its Q-CHIP claim with Discord and most channels at zero.
How We Grew DAC
A 72-hour Q-CHIP claim window. The deadline made the claim go viral, and every claimer was captured on X, Discord, Telegram and email so we could send them straight to the testnet.
Built the Q-CHIP waitlist and launched a 72-hour claim sprint that pulled in 126,996 users.
Pushed the claim across crypto communities and creators to make the deadline impossible to miss.
Built X, Discord and Telegram communities from zero during the sprint, plus a 61,000-person email list.
Qualified the audience and moved claimers straight into the DAC Inception testnet.
The Results
- 126,996 users in the first 72 hours
- From a standing start: 26,500+ X followers, 15,672 Discord members, 14,371 Telegram members and 61,000 emails
- 10.8M testnet addresses to date

What DAC Said
“We started with empty channels and a 72-hour window. Surgence built our community from zero during the claim and made sure every person who claimed a Q-CHIP was someone we could bring straight onto the testnet.”
