Common Questions from CTOs & Founders
FAQ: Privacy-Focused DAO Legal Wrappers
Answers to the most frequent technical and operational questions about implementing compliant, privacy-preserving legal structures for decentralized organizations.
From initial consultation to fully executed legal entity, the standard timeline is 4-6 weeks. This includes jurisdiction analysis, drafting foundational documents (Articles of Association, Operating Agreement), member onboarding KYC/AML setup, and final registration. Complex multi-jurisdiction structures or novel tokenomics can extend this to 8-10 weeks. We provide a detailed project plan within the first week of engagement.
