Create legal status for DAOs
DAOs are enabled by blockchain technology and communication tools, and are gaining citizenship as a means of community management. However, the lack of clear legal status creates the risk that current legal regulations will be applied in unexpected ways, and is a factor that impedes the smooth formation and operation of DAOs. Furthermore, in external activities, some argue that DAOs with a clear legal status are easier to gain trust and allow transactions to proceed more smoothly.
It is important to clarify the legal status of DAOs by enacting and implementing new laws specific to DAOs, but creating new laws takes time. Therefore, a realistic approach is to utilize existing legal forms to clarify the legal position of DAOs and promote their use.
