DAO1 fails to provide ownership or executive information on either of its websites.

DAO1 operates from two known website domains:

dao1.ai (main website) – privately registered on November 19th, 2024

dao1.info (marketing funnel) – privately registered on December 11th, 2024

Of note is DAO1 hiding its primary .AI website from public search engine indexing:

This is a red flag, as it suggests DAO1 is attempting to avoid public and/or regulatory scrutiny. Irrespective of any other conduct, hiding a website is not something a legitimate MLM company would do.

Also of note is the use of “mio” in DAO1’s official marketing material:

“Mio” is a German abbreviation for “million”. This suggests whoever is running DAO1 at the very least speaks German.

As per DAO1’s .AI website Privacy Policy;

The Site is hosted in the European Union and is intended for visitors located within the European Union.

As always, if an MLM company is not openly upfront about who is running or owns it, think long and hard about joining and/or handing over any money.

DAO1’s Products

DAO1 markets access to passive returns, derived through automated trading bots and an apertum token (APT) mining bot.

DAO1’s automated trading bots operate like any other trading bot. Investors place funds under control of the centrally operated bots on the expectation of a passive return.

Apertum token appears to be owned by whoever is running DAO1. Apertum token has its own website set up at “apertum.io”, privately registered on April 21st, 2023.

As per the marketing slide above, DAO1 markets APT mining as a “long term” income opportunity.

Access to DAO1’s trading bots and APT mining costs between 50 to 10,000 USDT annually:

Lunar – 50 USDT, access to two trading bots and one APT mining bot

Solar – 500 USDT, access to four trading bots and one APT mining bot

Nebula – 2000 USDT, access to eight trading bots and one APT mining bot

Nova – 5000 USDT, access to thirteen trading bots and one APT mining bot

Galactic – 10,000 USDT, access to twenty-six trading bots and one APT mining bot

Note that until February 1st, 2025, DAO1 is giving affiliates who purchase a trading bot and APT mining membership a duplicate membership of equal value.

DAO1’s Compensation Plan

DAO1’s compensation plan pays on the sale of trading bot and APT mining access to retail customers and recruited affiliates.

🤖 Quick Answer

What is DAO1 and why is it considered suspicious?
DAO1 is an entity operating through two privately registered domains, dao1.ai and dao1.info, that fails to disclose ownership or executive information. Its primary website is hidden from public search engine indexing, a significant red flag suggesting deliberate avoidance of public and regulatory scrutiny typically inconsistent with legitimate business operations.

What evidence suggests DAO1 is concealing its identity?
Both DAO1 website domains were privately registered in late 2024, obscuring registrant details. The main dao1.ai site is configured to prevent public search engine indexing. These combined measures indicate a deliberate strategy to limit discoverability and avoid transparency, which are characteristics commonly associated with fraudulent or unregistered financial schemes.
