A STRUCTURED APPROACH
Our Cross-Chain Legal Migration Framework
A proven, multi-phase framework to migrate your DAO's legal wrapper and treasury across blockchains without disrupting governance or compromising compliance.
01
Phase 1: Strategic Assessment & Legal Mapping
We conduct a comprehensive audit of your existing DAO structure, governance model, and treasury. Our team maps all legal obligations, member rights, and asset flows to create a risk-mitigated migration blueprint.
Deliverable: A detailed migration strategy document with legal gap analysis and regulatory compliance checklist.

Phase 2: Smart Contract & Treasury Migration
Secure, atomic migration of governance tokens and treasury assets using battle-tested bridge protocols or custom multi-sig solutions. We ensure zero fund loss and maintain historical provenance for audit trails.
Deliverable: Deployed, verified migration contracts and a fully transferred treasury on the target chain.

Phase 3: Legal Entity Reconstitution
We draft and file the necessary amendments to your Articles of Association or LLC operating agreement, formally recognizing the new chain's governance contracts and treasury addresses as the DAO's primary operational layer.
Deliverable: Legally binding entity documents updated for the post-migration state, ready for member ratification.

STRUCTURED MIGRATION FRAMEWORK
Our Process: Legal-Tech Coordination
We execute a deterministic, audit-ready process that aligns your DAO's legal structure with its on-chain governance, ensuring regulatory compliance and operational integrity from day one.
01
1. Legal Entity & Jurisdiction Analysis
We analyze your existing DAO structure and recommend optimal legal wrappers (LLC, Foundation, Co-op) and jurisdictions (Delaware, Wyoming, Switzerland, Singapore) based on member liability, tax efficiency, and regulatory posture.

Technical & Legal Process
Cross-Chain DAO Legal Migration FAQs
Get clear, specific answers on migrating your DAO to a compliant, multi-chain legal wrapper. Based on our experience with 30+ successful migrations.
A complete migration from assessment to on-chain deployment typically takes 4-6 weeks. This includes 1 week for legal entity setup (e.g., Swiss Association, Cayman Foundation), 2-3 weeks for smart contract development and security audits, and 1 week for governance token migration and member onboarding. Complex multi-treasury setups can extend to 8 weeks.
