About DACS

Building Trust in the Digital Age — verifiable systems for ownership, compliance, and the intelligent future.

Where We Came From

DACS began at the intersection of experience and opportunity. Matt and Peter first worked together on what would become the AUDD stablecoin, helping to pioneer early efforts to make digital value stable, transparent, and usable in the real economy. Around the same time, Peter was working with Coinloft on their over-the-counter (OTC) operations — a venture that later became part of © 2024 Independent Reserve Pty. Ltd.

From those foundations, Peter founded DACS as an OTC and custody advisory for high-net-worth individuals, SMSFs, and businesses entering the world of digital assets. Then came the turning point: SMSFs started calling — not to buy or sell, but to report. They needed verified documentation of their crypto holdings for compliance and auditing.

That challenge became our opportunity. We had to solve how to attest to crypto holdings for anyone — even those using hardware wallets. From that problem, Attestation was born: a system for verifiable reporting that brings trust and transparency to self-custodied assets.

Inflection

Attestation emerged from SMSF reporting needs — turning a service into a repeatable system for verifiable truth.

What We Found

At first, we were simply trying to give our clients what they wanted — verification of their holdings. But as we built those systems, we quickly discovered that verification alone wasn't enough. Clients needed trust. Auditors needed attestations. Regulators needed compliance.

In solving one problem, we uncovered the foundation of a much larger one: the need for verifiable truth in digital ownership. What started as a service became an infrastructure — a new layer of trust for the digital economy.

"Verification proves numbers. Attestation proves control, context, and confidence."

Our Manifesto

These principles guide every decision, every system, and every partnership. They're not just words — they're the foundation of everything we build.

Technology should make trust easier, not harder.

AI and blockchain aren't opposites — they're evolving together.

Verification is the new foundation of confidence.

True innovation happens when intelligence meets integrity.

Every organisation deserves to understand and own its digital reality.

DACS is building the tools for a verifiable world, one attestation, one insight, one intelligent system at a time.
