Gas optimized with snippets from Solady, and very simple to integrate: 2 core functions, `setRagequit` and `ragequit`.\n\nMost notable improvement: has a clever pattern in that allows users to simulate ragequit even if a token doesn't have an actual burn function. So wove that into Rage Router.\n\nAside from say, letting a Kali DAO, Gnosis Safe, or Govern Bravo to be a vault for any token, an interesting application is allowing conversion and the merger of these communities all from a single interface ~~ Burn Token A (OldDAO), Get Token B (NewDAO) ...\n\nOtherwise some gas golfing and completed test coverage ~~ Let's get this onchain!"

If not plugged in, won't make quorum for Warchest.\n\nCan still do on-chain proposals and governor-style with lower quorum for spending DAO funds with smaller pots in sub-DAO treasuries that still respect autonomous and fluid proposal flow. Reputation NFTs can be add-ons that activate defi token balance for discretionary sub-DAOs.\n\nThis avoids the binary and capture of systems that rely on typically political and infrequent spends of DAO treasury between Governor and Multi-sig. DAOs should spend way more money and do way more things and use way more code. That's what they're for!\n\nSubDAOs SubDAOs SubDAOs"

It’s what people do to avoid the ugly step cousin, Unlimited Liability.\n\nThere is no silver bullet to remove liability entirely. Anyone saying so for DAOs or community basketball theatre or lemonade stands doesn’t understand the word, Limited *taps sign*.\n\nThoughtful consideration of how best to handle legal reality will remain a popular and contentious issue in crypto law for years to come. Wrappers serve goal of not letting regulators shoehorn just holding tokens into default general partnerships. Limiting liability is good.\n\nLike choosing DAO contracts and governance frameworks, selecting Wrappers, whether for voting body, representatives or both, provides an opportunity to examine what people are actually trying to accomplish with this technology.\n\nPooling to buy a house and running a gray market financial protocol are very different use cases. Mileage will vary in how jurisdictions interface with your choice of law and structure. Yet it remains clear. Limited liability is less liability than Unlimited liability.\n\nThe clarity-by-force that regulators are pressing into crypto, is that DAOs, as cooperating systems for value, have a different legal dimension than chat rooms. If you’re just chilling though, don’t panic. If you write checks or handle public money as a DAO, well, *taps sign*.\n\nStay breezy ya’ll, but don’t get too cute, ross out 🫴🍬"

They just should give DAOs something different than normal filings, otherwise, why call out DAOs specifically other than rewarding special interests.\n\nBasically what we need from states is something to say, ‘your DAO is its own legal person’ and speak their language: code. They do already for non-profits (UNA), see , noting that DAOs can identify as legal entities purely through on-chain proposals:\n\nBut existing corporate statutes come up short for DAOs that might generate protocol revenue for members, organize services and other profitable activities, so called ‘for profit’ or ‘venture’ DAOs — They require a filing, like any LLC, which misses mark on their public nature\n\nSo what we need is not a way to file an LLC and call it a DAO. We need a way for states to treat the deployment of DAOs as valid for-profit incorporation after showing proof of intent. LLCs remain the best vessel imo due to their flexibility for membership and taxation.\n\nThe enshrinement of the word ‘DAO’ and technological quirks around this nascent organizational technology remains a categorical error, in my mind. Way too early and confusing. Others might appreciate this roast via :\n\nSo, to really get somewhere, we honestly need an upgrade to existing LLC law to make it more ‘internet native’. Let’s discard the word ‘DAO’ entirely. It’s about people making agreements online and choosing a state’s law to govern their association and ventures and give it form\n\nSome internet natives might associate and execute joint transactions through DAO software on a public blockchain. Some might operate via discord and google docs. State secretaries needs better apis and ways to index formative intent from these groups and abstract registration.\n\nThis is in their interest. The first state that makes its LLC laws truly internet native will rake in filing fees and taxes. Everyone wins.\n\nThis is what I want to work on and support via Not bad ‘DAO laws’. If you want to design a technical implementation and muster a proposal for an LLC Upgrade, reach out, we’re open:"

"content": "Ok, so today the CFTC fined Ooki DAO and its members as an \"unincorporated association\" to tune of $250k — This is a very broad theory of liability (\"joint and several\") and confirms what crypto lawyers have suspected — Let's untangle things: 🪡\n\nFirst order of things, \"Can you sue a DAO\" ??? ... Yes, just read CFCT complaint filed in federal court:\n\nWhat is \"Ooki DAO\"? Who is actually getting sued by the CFTC? OokiDAO Token holders,\n\nOokiDAO members are being sued as an \"unincorporated association\" — What is an UA? They are basically any coordinated group effort *Why do we care?* The total liability associated with UA can be attached to any individual of that association (!) This is obviously not ideal.\n\n... Effectively, if the CFTC can determine you are a member of OokiDAO by holding a token, you can be liable for violations of federal law, in this case, the lack of registration under the the Commodity Exchange Act and failing to do KYC under the Bank Secrecy Act ...\n\nWorth noting, and this might be a silver lining in terms of the theory CFTC is pursuing for determining membership of OokiDAO— They highlight \"participation\" in DAO voting as indicative This is important— I expect CFTC would get laughed out of court if airdrops alone counted.\n\nThe not-so-silver-lining, maybe the \"black lining\", is that the CFTC language here is very suggestive that a smart contract \"Protocol\" that runs programs they deem to violate their regulations could continuously generate liability for DAO members by 'permitting' such transactions\n\nWhile DAOs might associate around Protocols, they do not always fully control them, but choose to fund and manage adoption If Protocol is autonomous program that DAO can't really shut down, only way to avoid liability is to disassociate from it by burning or transferring tokens\n\nWhat we will see therefore is what dao designers like have always recommended—Governance Minimization of Core Protocols That is, if a DAO is really providing something like a public good or financial service that could be regulated, involving people is dumb\n\n.... Imo, there are few DAOs that will ultimately provide these verticals—many will be more centralized and involved cells that execute on behalf of Protocols—but true Protocol DAOs will be strong, lasting institutions built around memes and monopolies (like Hard Money and Swaps)\n\nBut returning to the issue at hand— What can DAOs do to limit exposure as unincorporated associations? Establishing \"Legal Wrapper\" is simplest, tried-and-true method to limit liability This is literally what everyone IRL does Blockchains automate a lot, including liability!\n\nWhat can a Wrapper do for a DAO, specifically? Well, \"association\" created by holding OokiDAO tokens and participating in Protocol governance could be defined by legal persona— DAO could adopt structure to operate Protocol on behalf of members, so they are not personally liable\n\nNow, what does attaching a Wrapper to a DAO really look like in practice? Well, let's just look at what CFTC cares about, in this case, what it means to \"govern\" the Protocol it finds problematic— \"modify, operate, market, and take other actions with respect to)\" the Protocol—>\n\nThis can honestly be boiled down pretty simply. I have worked for DAOs as both a protocol developer and lawyer. DAO operating system template is basically this—>\n\nDAOs associate through token— This association funds developers who make software that adds value to token. Often in token itself. Yes, pursuing mission adds value, even if not related to returns— They have programs (smart contracts) that can be managed by dev and DAO voting—>\n\nThe benefits of DAO association, its products, \"culture\" and \"community\" are often promoted by members themselves on social media— That is to say, there isn't typically a formal marketing effort, though some may be paid by DAO to more explicitly take on this responsibility—>\n\nIf I might take a detour into the actual code that the OokiDAO might \"modify, operate, market\" etc. The core governance token is staked into program that through Governor Bravo and Timelock contracts, can execute mints of OokiDAO tokens and other actions\n\nIn addition, there are the various Ooki financial protocol products that are managed and funded by this DAO treasury and voting program— Again, it looks like CFTC considers being personally liable for such programs as being part of the association of above voting token holders—>\n\nSo what could be done to shield liability from the association of OokiDAO token holders? Tokenized governance is a superpower for DAOs and we don't want just more centralization— The DAO could vote to structure itself as an Unincorporated Non Profit Association or other Wrapper\n\nThis provides the immediate benefit of a separate legal persona that is 'modifying, operating, and marketing' the Protocol the DAO is associated around, as in, the DAO token holders vote and membership is defined in terms of this persona, that owns and operates the Protocol—>\n\nSo when CFTC or plaintiffs come knocking because the DAO is doing something they don't like, this persona should be held responsible, not the DAO members, honestly, what do you have to lose? If doesn't work, you are literally in the same (bad) legal position you are already in—>\n\nOf course, UNA is not the only Wrapper and structure available to DAOs to protect themselves and limit their liability so that governance isn't chilled— Like a Swiss Association, it is \"internet native\"—there is no filing with the state and members can remain anonymous—>\n\nThe purpose of DAO must be non-profit—that's it And if this is an issue and your DAO is for-profit and promotes returns on governance tokens, well that's an unregistered security, so maybe don't do that unless threading that issue with sufficient decentralization or uber opsec—>\n\nLegal Wrapping does not need to be only related to governance token, but can be used to containerize different operations of the Protocol, such as development, security (fixing bugs), and marketing This helps rationalize these various operating concerns vs general membership—>\n\nAfter all, even though you want to protect DAO members from the Protocol operations with a legal persona, it is convenient that this persona isn't consumed by an expensive hack— Rather, it is better to have security handled by another persona— IRL ops does this all the time—>\n\nI am building internet-native legal Wrappers for everyone, and automating protection with some of the smartest legal engineers in the world, with The law is a shield, and system is now testing the resilience and planning of crypto—>\n\nJoin our server and let's plan this out and save you an expensive multi month negotiation with lawyers who think DAOs are just piggy banks for billables:"

many daos collectively fund initiatives, like open source software or jpegs\n\n6/ code is the law of the dao where you provide no other context and people opt into it being the final word code breaky, no remakey, unless you are early enough in the network to seek a hard fork (see, The DAO)\n\n7/ this is often impractical and not that desirable for many groups that want to set strong promises but want flexibility beyond code for example, many daos contextualize their arrangements with charters or dispute procedure to avoid attacks via our friend, the social layer\n\n8/ further, many daos establish their own hiearchies and make agreements related to their funds, such as special purpose sub daos\n\n9/ to recap, the dao itself (\"mother\"), is an agreement with special execution based on its code -- collective rejoice but often, people will decide to give discrete control to special accounts as well as define things beyond code to seek the benefit of social enforcement & law\n\n10/ the mother will often enter into agreements with sub daos (\"children) related to special powers or funds these agreements will usually enjoy some encoding (such as a token \"stream\" program) and context via proposal descriptions\n\n11/ ultimately, however, relationships between mothers and children are complicated while daos are a substantial upgrade to only coordinating via law and reputation, they still consist of people, and dao code execution is based on the authority of how they continue to agree\n\n12/ this is why ethereum and bitcoin are daos in the sense of they provide predictable promises to the public (validate blocks and get rewards) simplicity in this way is very socially scalable because it reduces the surface area for politics and motivated misinterpration\n\n13/ in a similar simple and scalable fashion, dao code can also define the agreement and terms for funding the purchase of an NFT and provide something very explicit to do for example, can literally make it so that dao can only stake NFT in X or Y this requires little context!\n\n14/ but not all daos, like not all agreements, are the same they might organize around something that requires judgment, such as strategies around collected funds in the prior example, the stake NFT-in-X-or-Y might have been a royally bad idea some deals are, well, very stupid\n\n15/ so, to be clear, some daos require regular human input or \"thought\" yes, we want to think about the costs and benefits of doing things together sometimes, even if the rules for collecting initial capital or leaving the dao are based in code\n\n16/ a lingering attack vector for relying less on code and interpretation is that people will disagree, or the funds might be deployed to motivate outsiders to do stuff hence, the need for a social context and layer, an \"instruction manual\" for the dao, if you will\n\n17/ daos with a very simple goal or little interface with outsiders can keep this fairly straightforward hence, we see many talk about their mission and their rules on a \"readme\" file on github or through a charter that helps onboard and describe hiearchies, if any\n\n18/ those with greater contact with IRL business will resort to more legal formalities because these business engagements, such as owning \"real world\" assets, will not be entirely enforceable by code, even if funded by simple dao code\n\n19/ take it from me, while you might love your DAO readme as the sum of all your human parts, it will not explain things very well to a judge who is used to reading common clauses that lean on precedent and linguistic traditions\n\n20/ thus, we see daos employ external legal entities to carry on business on their behalf, or incorporate their governance stakes as units in a legal operating system like a foundation or LLC these are ways to expand upon agreement of members and access different kinds of value\n\n21/ it's all agreements and people trying to establish the authority of consent, which rests on rational natural law, bless up so, daos can be corporations if that's what they want! there will be a time where corporations are known by network state law, until then, / Fin"

Fantastic.\n\nBut if a higher order chain gets traction, namely conditional payments and collective ownership, which need payments and savings use case to work for them to work too, why wouldn't this synthesize and hold more value from pure user and developer efficiency.\n\nThere is a mental heuristic that 'simpler is better'. This tracks for a lot of things. Like secure code. Messaging. But what I like to see, is skin in the game. In this, the more value that is held in native smart contracts on chains like ethereum speak to confidence in base.\n\nI would argue, while less intuitive than simple meme of 'digital gold', the base of a complex environment like ethereum, constantly pressing down on it, with more and more accounts that need the assumption that 'ether payments work', creates 'digital diamonds' from the pressure."
