Daiko

Daiko is an Irish pet technology company whose product combines three pieces of hardware with an app: a smart retractable leash with RFID reading, a compostable waste unit called DooPod, and a phone app that logs walks. The leash reads a tag on the collar as it extends and writes duration, distance and route into the app, while DooPod counts cleanups through a weight sensor.

The app converts steps and walk frequency into DAIKO tokens, forming a move-to-earn incentive layer, while the other side of the token rests on a buyback clause that assigns a share of net profit to secondary market purchases. Tying hardware sales to token incentives turns repeat purchases of pet supplies into on-chain activity, and the resulting data doubles as a health record. It is a narrow DePIN wedge in consumer hardware: low-cost sensors produce verifiable everyday behaviour data that is then turned into a tradable claim.
