What Smart DCA does
Enter the subnet market over time instead of all at once.
DCA means dollar-cost averaging: instead of buying everything at one price, you buy in steps over time, so a single bad entry matters less.
You choose the subnets and a schedule: daily, weekly, biweekly or monthly. Stakao then enters step by step and picks the validators for you.
Auto Validators and Smart DCA do not use the risk engine, so they have no stop-loss or profit lock. You decide when to sell, and you can unstake at any time.
What you get
- Gradual entries on your schedule
- You pick the subnets
- Validators chosen for you
Who is Smart DCA for?
- TAO holders who would rather build a position gradually than all at once.
- Newcomers who want to learn how subnets behave, one small step at a time.
- Anyone who wants to pick their own subnets and keep control.
