STRUCTURED APPROACH
Our End-to-End Legal Integration Process
A proven, step-by-step methodology to transform your on-chain DAO into a legally recognized entity, minimizing risk and ensuring operational clarity.
01
1. Jurisdiction & Structure Analysis
We conduct a comprehensive assessment of your DAO's activities, tokenomics, and governance to recommend the optimal legal wrapper (e.g., Swiss Association Foundation, Cayman Foundation Company, Delaware LLC).

Operational Clarity and Risk Mitigation for Your DAO
Transform your DAO from a technical experiment into a legally sound, operationally resilient organization. We provide the structural and procedural frameworks to protect your members and assets.
01
Jurisdictional Strategy & Entity Formation
We analyze your DAO's activities and membership to recommend the optimal legal wrapper (e.g., Swiss Association, Wyoming DAO LLC, Cayman Foundation). We manage the end-to-end formation and registration process, ensuring compliance from day one.

DAO Legal Integration: Common Questions
Get clear, specific answers about our process, timeline, security, and support for integrating legal entities with your EVM-based DAO.
A standard integration from initial scoping to on-chain deployment takes 3-6 weeks. This includes legal structure selection (LLC, Foundation, UNA), drafting operating agreements, smart contract development for the legal wrapper, and final on-chain deployment. Complex multi-jurisdictional structures can extend to 8-10 weeks.
