MIDAO helps DAOs & Web3 projects incorporate in the only jurisdiction that explicitly recognizes the unique structure of these organizations. Not Legal Advice.
The distinction between the DAO LLC and the token is important here. The entity can own the IP and operate the project, while any governance or economic rights associated with the token depend on how those rights are actually defined. Keeping those layers clear becomes more important as the ecosystem grows.
@bonafidehan This is where the connection between onchain governance and the entity layer really matters. If token ownership determines membership, the governance framework also needs to stay clear about how those onchain decisions translate into authority to act offchain.
@structura The bridge between voting and execution is where governance gets especially interesting. Once an onchain decision is approved, it should also be clear who is empowered to carry it out offchain and how that authority is tied back to the governance process.
One additional layer appears when the agent represents an organization rather than an individual. Verifying the human behind it is useful, but counterparties may also need clarity on which entity the agent represents and whether that person was actually empowered to delegate the agentโs authority.
A useful distinction is between the agent performing the action and the entity standing behind it. An AI agent may execute payments, interact with protocols, or automate operations, while counterparties still need clarity on the registered entity, who can act on its behalf, and where the contractual relationship sits.
Good thread. A lot of tokenization discussion stops at issuance, but the harder work starts once the product is live. Pricing inputs, collateral rules, NAV updates, and corporate actions all need clear authority and accountability, not just better rails. The infrastructure stack matters, but so does governance over who can change the rules.
1/ About 17,000 strangers put roughly $47 million into ConstitutionDAO in a week. MoonDAO's members voted to send two people to space, and did. Both were DAOs.
Our CEO Adam Miller's talk on building one in seven steps, and giving it a legal form, is on Just DAO It! today.
@Vanarchain@DopaMintLabs The organizational layer becomes especially important once multiple agents can coordinate and transact. It needs to be clear which agents can act on the organizationโs behalf, what authority each one has, and where human approval still applies.
The interesting governance question is how the agentโs role is defined beyond the technical permissions. If an AI agent can submit proposals and help execute approved decisions, the governance framework also needs to make clear what authority the agent has and where that authority stops.
@monsmith_ide@Iamshahmeer1 There is another layer when the principal is an organization rather than an individual. The trail also needs to show whether the person delegating the mandate actually had authority to do so on the organizationโs behalf.
Where those evidence rules live matters too. If the accepted source and dispute process only exist informally, the same ambiguity can return when a decision is challenged or executed. Governance works better when those rules are part of the framework participants are actually following.
@KaelricVaedrin This is where governance becomes operational. A vote is not just an expression of preference. It can directly change the rules the protocol runs on, which makes clarity around the scope and consequences of each proposal especially important.
@AlphaSense89@VentrionLabs A useful distinction here is that the DAO LLC is the legal entity layer. The token mechanics, escrow design, and economic model are separate parts of the project.
The point about teams running on many specialized services feels especially important. Once agents can move across workflows, identity alone is not enough. The real requirement is knowing who the agent acts for, what it is authorized to do, and how that authority can be verified or revoked.
@Eggheadfx Clear problem definition also makes it easier to define the scope of the decision itself. Voters should understand not only what a proposal is trying to solve, but exactly what authority the proposal would exercise if approved.
@Multi_mike01 Verified identity is an important foundation. The next layer is proving whether the agent has actually been authorized to act for that business in a specific transaction. Identity and delegated authority solve different parts of the trust problem.
@autonolas Useful distinction between reputation and authority here. Delivery history and operator information help establish trust, while another layer is understanding who the agent is acting for and what it has actually been authorized to do.
@The_Cryptiq Governance should not end when the vote closes. It also helps to define who is responsible for reviewing the outcome, reporting it back to the community, and deciding whether the original decision needs to be adjusted.
@andergri Separating the agentโs account from the company account is useful, but the accountability layer still comes back to the organization behind it. The important question is how clearly the agentโs delegated authority and limits are tied to that organization.
