Frequently Asked Questions

What is AID?

AID is the first AI synthetic dollar launched by GAIB, designed to bridge real-world AI economies with DeFi to offer sustainable AI yields backed by real AI demand and usage.

What’s the risk profile of the assets backing AID?

AID is fully backed by the U.S. Treasuries, which are widely recognized as one of the safest and most liquid financial instruments in the world.

What is sAID?

sAID is the staked version of AID, designed as a yield-bearing token. It reflects the net asset value of GAIB’s portfolio of AI infrastructure financing deals. As revenues from these deals accrue at the protocol level, the value of sAID increases, enabling holders to capture the underlying AI-driven yields generated by GAIB’s portfolio.

What’s the risk profile of the assets backing sAID?

sAID is backed by a diversified portfolio of AI infrastructure assets and a stable reserve (Treasury bills and stablecoins). Most financing deals are structured as secured loans backed by enterprise-grade GPUs, revenue-sharing agreements tied to GPU operations, or a combination of both. These assets are protected through overcollateralization and a bankruptcy-remote structure, while additional insurance funds are established to safeguard users against potential protocol losses.

Is sAID's backing audited or verified?

GAIB works with third-party auditors, credit underwriters, custody, attestation, and other professional service providers when necessary to maximize investor protection and risk-reward for each financing deal.

What is AID Alpha?

AID Alpha is the initial launch phase of GAIB’s AI synthetic dollar, AID. It allows early users to deposit stablecoins like USDT, USDC, USR or CUSDO into GAIB vaults across supported chains (Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, etc.) ahead of the full AID mainnet release. During the campaign, users receive AID Alpha tokens—temporary receipt tokens representing their deposits—which will later be redeemable 1:1 for mainnet AID tokens. While funds are locked, they generate real-world yield through a mix of T-bills and GPU financing deals.

What benefits do early depositors receive?

Early depositors will earn Spices points, enjoy Spice multipliers (10x for the final spice), and Referrers will also earn referral rewards. The Spice points holders are eligible to receive the future airdrop of GAIB native token.

How are reward points calculated?

Users will earn 1 base Spice per dollar per day after depositing until the program finishes. On top of that, different multipliers apply to different seasons. More details will be announced on GAIB's X and Medium.

What benefits do NFTs unlock — are they cosmetic, access-based, or yield-based?

NFTs will lead to special and exclusive rewards at GAIB’s token launch.

Are the vaults audited? Who built the contracts?

Smart contracts were built by GAIB engineering team and audited by Sherlock. The audit report can be found here.

Where are the deposited stablecoins held, and is custody decentralized?

Deposits are being held in smart contracts and custody solutions, if necessary, before being deployed in GPU financing deals and treasury bills.
