Balmy is the state-of-the-art DCA open protocol that enables users (or dapps) to Dollar Cost Average (DCA) any ERC20 into any ERC20 with their preferred period frequency, without sacrificing decentralization or giving up personal information to any centralized parties.

is a tool an investor can use to build savings and wealth over a long period while neutralizing the short-term volatility in the market.

The purchases occur regardless of the asset's price and at regular intervals. In effect, this strategy removes much of the detailed work of attempting to time the market in order to make purchases of assets at the best prices.
