About Us

DAMM Capital builds and operates quantitative financial infrastructure onchain. We research, build and deploy quantitative financial vehicles that execute autonomously through smart contracts. Transparent, permissionless, and fully auditable.

The same engine runs both sides of DAMM — our tokenized funds, and the integrations that take fintechs into DeFi further, faster. We don’t predict markets. We engineer systems that adapt to them.

Origin · 2021

Born as a hedge, not a pitch.

DAMM started in 2021, when brothers Pablo and Bautista Baiocchi set up a Uniswap v3 quant shop. They needed to protect dollars from their family’s agricultural business in Argentina against inflation — so they built liquidity strategies and ran them with their own money.

The models that worked became our tokenized funds, and the infrastructure built to run them safely became DeFi as a Service.

In 2025, Juan Samitier joined as co-founder and CIO, bringing experience in asset management and financial engineering. His arrival marked the shift from a quant shop to a global asset management firm — same engine, two verticals.

How we think

Aligned by design.

01

Partners, not clients

We are 100% aligned with the people we work with. Every engagement is built so that we only win when they do.

02

Your risk, our tooling

Many partners want a fully proprietary risk profile. We don’t impose ours — we give them the financial tooling, support and technical execution to run their own, at the highest standard.

03

Our own capital first

DAMM started by trading its founders’ own money. We had skin in the game before anyone else did, and we still build like it.

Who we serve

Built for teams moving onchain.

  • Fintechs & neobanks

    Teams that want to offer onchain yield or markets to their users without building a DeFi desk in-house.

  • Institutions & protocols

    Treasuries, market-makers and protocols that need liquidity, curation or execution — non-custodial, and on their own terms.

  • Onchain allocators

    Holders of USD, ETH or BTC onchain looking for risk-adjusted, fully transparent fund exposure.

Co-founder · Chief Quant Officer

Pablo Baiocchi

Pablo co-founded DAMM alongside his brother Bauti. A double-degree holder in computer engineering and finance, he turns abstract mathematics into deployable liquidity strategies — designing the simulators, back-testing engines and statistical models that steer every trade.

He leads the quant team and draws on prior TradFi experience to bring institutional rigor to DeFi.

Co-founder · CTO

Bautista Baiocchi Lora

Bauti co-founded DAMM in 2021 with his brother Pablo and leads engineering — the smart contracts, execution infrastructure and data pipelines that every fund and integration runs on.

Co-founder · CIO · since 2025

Juan Samitier

Juan joined DAMM in 2025, bringing asset-management and financial-engineering experience to grow it from a quant shop into a global asset management firm.

Before DAMM he was treasury manager at Kleros, running its market-neutral funds and explaining the game theory behind Kleros courts around the world.

He founded SAFU, designing and pitching its first product, and left it to join DAMM. He also co-founded Fantasytier, a side project that still runs amateur tournaments today.

The founders are backed by a lean quant team — including an engineer who left high-tech robotics to build with us.

FAQ

Good questions.

What does DAMM Capital do?

DAMM is a quantitative digital asset manager. We run tokenized funds (DAMMstable and DAMMeth, with DAMMbtc coming soon) and offer DeFi as a Service — liquidity management, curation, execution and research for fintechs and institutions.

Who founded DAMM?

DAMM was founded in 2021 by brothers Pablo Baiocchi and Bautista Baiocchi Lora as a Uniswap v3 quant shop, running their own capital to protect it from Argentine inflation. Juan Samitier joined as co-founder and CIO in 2025, bringing asset-management and financial-engineering experience to turn DAMM into a global asset management firm.

Do partners have to use DAMM’s risk framework?

No. Partners can bring a fully proprietary risk profile. We provide the tooling, support and technical execution to implement it.

How is DAMM different from other DeFi managers?

We started as a quant shop, and that background still drives everything: strategies are modelled, simulated and back-tested before they touch capital, and executed through audited onchain infrastructure we build in house. On top of that, we treat clients as partners, stay 100% aligned with them, and let them own their risk decisions.
