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: the play
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.
- 01
Built the Q-CHIP waitlist and launched a 72-hour claim sprint that pulled in 126,996 users.
- 02
Pushed the claim across crypto communities and creators to make the deadline impossible to miss.
- 03
Built X, Discord and Telegram communities from zero during the sprint, plus a 61,000-person email list.
- 04
Qualified the audience and moved claimers straight into the DAC Inception testnet.

What DAC says
“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.”
