Harmony is a DAO Legal Structuring Framework built by DAObox & Aurum. The framework offers methodical and adaptable approach to the legal structuring of the next-generation decentralised organisations (Gen. 3.0).

The framework is jurisdiction-neutral, compatible with virtually any other structuring framework, and adaptable to DAOs of all sizes and types, enabling them to evolve into large-scale, comprehensive ecosystems and cybernetic organisations. The framework aim to address the major legal and structuring challenges presently faced by the DAOs, such as:

• unlimited member liability,

• undefined legal personality,

• absence of legal identity,

• tax implications,

• legal and operational scalability, and

• limited cross-border applicability of existing DAO structuring techniques.
