Management for DAO Legal Wrappers – the Service

DAObox's DAO Legal Wrapper Management Service covers all essential aspects of operating, managing and facilitating DAO legal structures, units and wrappers, new and existing.

Why Wrapper Management is Essential

Once a DAO establishes a legal wrapper, it must appoint executives to manage and personnel to administer the operations of the wrapper and its day-to-day business. This is necessary because dealing with paperwork, compliance, infrastructure, grants, and similar tasks requires dedicated attention.

In the past, these management responsibilities were often assumed by the DAOs' core contributors, such as founders and key team members. However, as the blockchain world has evolved, there has been a decrease in risk tolerance and an increase in compliance risks. Consequently, fewer and fewer core contributors are willing to assume roles within the wrapper, undergo KYC checks and screenings, or expose themselves to legal risks.

To add, the DAO has to assign staff and personnel to handle daily operations, which often requires disproportionate effort and can be resource-intensive and time-consuming, as the personnel also requires management and oversight.

Additionally, the DAO has to allocate staff and personnel to manage the daily operations of the wrapper. This often requires disproportionate effort and can be resource-intensive and time-consuming. Furthermore, the personnel also require their own management and oversight, adding another layer of complexity to the process.

To address the shift in the regulatory environment and changing attitudes within the crypto community, and aiming to equip decentralized organizations with a resource-efficient solution addressing these needs, DAObox has designed its specialized legal wrapper management service.

DAObox's Legal Wrapper Management Service

With this service, our goal is to outfit DAOs with everything they need to keep their legal wrappers operational without having to contribute a significant amount of resources and time to this effort. DAObox effectively substitutes other service providers and professionals that a DAO would otherwise require, which by itself saves substantial amounts in payroll and expenses annually.

Another essential factor to consider here is decentralization – entrusting the responsibility of managing the legal wrapper to a third-party contributor like DAObox avoids creating a point of centralization, as would occur if the core team or a group of affiliates were in charge.

Engagement

Our management service operates on a subscription model. We offer two primary packages: one for comprehensive wrappers and another for IP units. However, our service is highly modular, allowing us to provide customized solutions tailored to the specific needs, estimated time commitments, and objectives of each DAO for utilizing the wrapper.

The basic terms of our engagement include a minimum two-year contract with annual payments that predominantly cover our expenses and disbursements. Additionally, a modest token allocation is included as our incentive.
