Program Summary

In a nutshell, the first hour will focus on the definition of DAOs, mechanics of operations, examples of successful DAOs, and a good overview of smart contracts and the other technical issues involved in DAOs. The second hour will focus on the legal status of DAOs, especially in light of the first state law in Wyoming permitting their formation. We will also look at the federal regulatory mess and try to demonstrate that much of the ferment about DAOs can be calmed by analogizing them to cooperative associations, permitting a more permissive approach than thus far has been taken. We will end with an overview of what we see on the horizon in 2022.

Key topics to be discussed:

  • Introduction to DAOs - What they are and can be, how they differ from hierarchical firms
  • Smart Contracts, Web3, and Blockchain technologies and relationship with DAOs
  • What is the state of regulation of DAOs in the U.S and what does compliance look like?
  • First Law Permitting DAOs - Wyoming DAO Supplement to the LLC Law
  • Can DAOs Be Regulated as Cooperative Associations?
  • What is on the horizon for 2022?
