About daollc.org

daollc.org is a reference for laws that create legal entities for decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs). Each law has a fact sheet built from its official text. Every fact links to the section it comes from, quotes it, and records when it was last checked. Where a law says nothing on a point, the fact says so, cites the sections read, and has no quote.

How facts are sourced

Facts come only from primary sources: legislatures, official gazettes, company registries, courts and regulators. Law firm summaries and press coverage help find sources but are never cited as the source. Each source records its address, the date it was retrieved, an archived copy and a fingerprint of the document, so a later change to the text is detected. A fact that cannot be traced to a primary source is not published. The site does not describe tax treatment beyond what a statute says.

How the reference stays current

Automated checks re-read every quoted source daily, confirm each quoted passage is still in it, and compare the document with its stored fingerprint. New bills and court decisions are added as they are found, under the same sourcing rules. When an enacted law changes, the change is reflected here within 14 days of detection. Every change is logged on the changes page, which also has an RSS feed. A record not re-verified within 180 days shows a notice until it is.

Operator and conflict of interest

This site is operated by MIDAO, the sole registered agent for DAO LLCs in the Republic of the Marshall Islands. MIDAO Directory Services, Inc. holds that role under DAO Regulations 2024 §5(1), which rests it on a Memorandum of Agreement with the Government of the Republic of the Marshall Islands dated July 5, 2022. That is a conflict of interest: MIDAO earns revenue when organizations form Marshall Islands DAO LLCs.

It is handled in three ways. Marshall Islands records meet the same sourcing standard as every other jurisdiction. Laws are listed by enactment date, never ranked, and no page recommends a jurisdiction. Corrections are open to anyone, and accepted corrections are logged publicly.

Every fact sheet lists the filing body its law designates. Where a law or its regulations name MIDAO as the registered agent, that fact sheet says so, cites the provision, links to MIDAO and repeats that MIDAO operates this site. The tracker and fact sheets carry one labeled note from MIDAO offering its free guide. MIDAO is not a law firm, and nothing on this site is legal advice.
