I would love it as an option, as there are cases where you want to reduce friction by prepaying user txs into contract, such as DAO voting. It's not clear to me how the transfer of ether was handled in this earlier case, tho (no contracts involved).

note, though, we can refund txs if developers attach something like this to their contracts,

My 'Learn Smart Contracts' pack🎒 Solidity was my first language - many technical readers can now pick up the basics and work with audited libraries to do most things in production. Here is what would have saved me a lotta time:

Read a lot of contracts. Like a lot. Everyday. Even if you don't know a single lick of coding, you will start to recognize patterns - patterns are good, they show how devs are 'standardizing'. 'Old money' contracts are *the best* - they have survived and show working security.

If you interact with a contract through your wallet, click the tx receipt and check it out. The code is likely verified and you can even try interacting directly on etherscan, like with "wrapped ether":

Also, scan the popular contracts. This should be obvious: code that is consuming the chain likely is pretty good. At worst (not all of it is good!), you'll notice the effects of marketing and social engineering in crypto, and that's useful to understand as a contract designer.

Apart from your daily reading ritual, which will hone your spidey senses, start playing around with drafting by copying examples from into , and to better understand remix, try this wizard which pastes code,

Also read these to learn about gas optimizing your code. Gas optimization or "golfing" is how you can make users and other developers more excited about your contracts because everyone likes more money.

Once you've read enough contracts to get a sense of what's making the market go round, as well as played with drafting, deploying and saving gas, start building little side projects. They might connect existing protocols to make more things happen in less txs. Or, cat coin. Iono.

Start simple, by extending these well-worn libraries: // standard .sol kit (less readable) // simple .sol - optimized (v readable) // black magick yul - low level code - v optimized (v less readable)

That's it, I guess. You'll really improve by working on projects and taking them as far as you can go. If you are coding something cool or have questions, ping this thread.

guilds are tribal associations that collect around human capital, usually professional while daos allow members to automate resources and rule enforcement, they are limited right now in managing capture and privacy, though we will see a lot more dao guilds this year, I reckon

on the point of capture, daos are remarkably resistant, but in current implementations, a lot of decision-making is deferred to trusted setups out of convenience and the constraints of current applications on privacy, zk is promising but so far mostly delivering on scaling

the competitive nature of the space makes me think though, these problems will be solved by the next drama

[Assistant]
Yeah, so basically, if the core elements of a security token are the ability to restrict and contextualize, I see mass adoption through schelling "features" rather than "interfaces" that we can recommend as an industry to maintain broad compliance objectives.

The conceit of security token standardization, I think ultimately lies in the reality that compliance requires control, and there is no technical interface that makes something perfectly "legal", but rather, legality is ability to completely control the state of token balances.

Which is something, thankfully, that has an EIP, So, to that end, I think any token that implements an EIP173 or similar authorization scheme (multisig) can comply with most security laws, if that authorization effectively controls transfers and balances.

I would be fairly remiss not to feature some of my work on this subject ;0. Effectively, a token issuance system that can comply with securities laws because governance, metadata, fungibility and transfer restrictions are adjustable in tokens themselves,


[System] I can't believe we all won forever. It's crazy that we all logged on and won forever and no one could stop us

[Assistant]
There are several competing security token standards, though I do like the simplicity of 1404 interface.

I expect an EIP for securities will run into the issues that it makes more sense to address the commonality of concerns (i.e., authorization) with existing tokens extensions, like "pausable" and "allow list".

The other resistance to standardizing a more legalistic token interface is the risk that some jurisdictions might pass laws that require specific functions. The vagaries of law is hard to build around, plus many different jurisdictions to contemplate beyond Delaware shares.

We do not, after all, want a singapore security token interface, a delaware interface, et cetera etc. So, I think security tokens will just have normalistic traits that fulfill the function of legacy than specific interface, such as 'ability to lock', 'permission' and so forth.

On this note, we don't even have standardization on these core primitives as final ERC interfaces for tokens. We just finished up the ownership pattern, which is implied by restricted token requirements.

So, I would like to see ERCs for 'pause' and 'allow' before considering security token standards that would likely cause confusion in the digital economy for these similar functions.

Otherwise, I would also note the limitation of the 1404 interface for how I expect many securities to be tokenized. Legal properties are context-rich assets and therefore it more obvious to tokenize them under standard that supports metadata and uniqueness, like 721/1155.

The approach with the most chance of success therefore in my mind is not opinionated to how shares are tokenized, but rather, is a composite of popular ERCs that fulfill the functions of different jurisdictions, i.e., 'compliance legos' which are already in many governed assets.

I like seeing gas golfing pitched to DAOs as almost "bug bounties". Here an optimizor saved DAO almost million dollars and is asking for 10% via BAYC. Seems reasonable to me. Either you pay coders or your users pay a lot more to miners?

I wonder how we can more effectively reason between rewarding security auditing and gas optimization. Yes, utmost critical that contracts work as expected. But the more distributed "exploit" of unnecessary fees to miners deserves a lot more credit in the crypto industry.

License is just agreeing to waive rights under certain conditions, so more a matter of contract law, which is how most apps enforce Terms of Use, etc. I don't expect you see those as regulatory capture. Imo using contract law is very different than agency activity.

Further, contract law lays the primitives for how we can currently understand subjective enforcement of rights contained in code, what is 'fair', etc., and how these might be automated in not-to-distant-future without need of states, regulatory or no.

It's interesting to track how code gets licensed to DAOs, giving their tokens intrinsic value 💸🪡 . . .

Compound Labs, Inc., is a Delaware corporation that developed the Compound v3 money market protocol. They licensed this code under Business Source License v1.1 and it can only be used by others if the Compound DAO approves and updates the ENS domain . . . .

🖇

To understand how Compound DAO actually can exercise this tokenized legal right, you can check the ENS domain's operator here:

This operator cannot be updated by anyone other than the DAO, as enforced by code. The License also cannot be updated per its own terms, enforced by law

The operator is a `timelock` governed by the DAO governor contract

🗳

What does this tell me? Tokenized legal rights can be very secure and effective to capture value of open source software for developers and their community of users. . . .

This is told through the market and how uniswap v3 has largely been respected. We must understand ultimately that the cryptonative market will be somewhat hardcore in terms of fighting to establish community owned monopolies. . . .

However, I do think aspects of the Business Source License could be reconsidered.

First, we should allow DAOs to ratify the on-chain ownership of License. This would work by DAO deploying the protocol bytecode as prepared by the Licensor developer team, including an on-chain representation of this license. . . .

ENS is not necessary but useful for linking content update rights to smart contracts.

Second, we should craft terms that can more flexibly allow open source use. It shouldn't require a DAO proposal and social friction if a use would serve a clear public good, be remunerative to the DAO, or otherwise served the DAO mission.

Developers should therefore be able to deploy something like UniV3 if they baked in fees back to UniDAO.

There could also be an on-chain arbitration protocol to make it so developers can ask for forgiveness, rather than permission, if they agree to lock up a certain amount as back taxes to DAO or liquidated damages after DAO formally cancels their license.

These are things we can improve here.

I have drafted a form of `DAO Source License` that interprets BSL with some familiar MIT language and the above goals to help automate permission if net positive to Licensor. Help draft here:

"The Game" is a DAO building an app to make meetings make you money ⏳

Problem: Meetings suck. People (certainly not me ...) don't show up or don't book a time. Yet personal connections obviously matter. We live in this worse version of "the game", where people dance in circles around meetings.

The Game puts skin back in the game with incentives. Stake 1 ETH to become a player with 100 Health. Get a dynamic NFT that updates as you play The Game.

If you book a time, both you and the other player's health is streamed into the DAO common pot. You can only recover your health by meeting. Otherwise, you both lose! This health earns yield continuously for the DAO and the players themselves, who earn DAO tokens for playing.

The dynamic of losing both your AND the other player's money is obviously powerful. People will meet or become known as bad players.

For each player, they will start playing the game when they accept and both select a slot within their free time periods. This can be done through private links or via a public engagement button displayed on each NFT.

There's really nothing to lose. If you play the game and make your meetings, you keep your ETH and earn. This is a good discipline method and makes meetings fun. Because money and DAOs.

Me and deployed a Kali Keep to house the initial DAO of devs ("gamers") interested in designing and implementing The Game and The DAO:

For gamers, join the Keep, and let's build so meetings suck less:

For people who want to support The Game and The DAO with ETH, they will also be able to play the game by sponsoring players by reviving their health, earning DAO tokens at the same time

today, we completed the first onchain arbitration with AI

this is a 'co-pilot' system developed as a custom stack between 𝓁ex𝓉eʞK forms & agents. The way it works is like so (simplicity is key):

Last week, I launched onchain legal forms. The DEAL form allows people to pay each other with USDC and have a smart contract record their terms and hold their funds. Plus, you get NFTs. see: These escrows can be assigned a `resolver`.

The idea here is also simple. People will use the blockchain more if they have legal optionality. Or, more leeway with smart contracts that make irreversible transactions. So they need to be able to add arbitrators. People or bots that bail you out. On this point, we are hybrid.

Similar to driverless cars that we can see the long-term benefits of, but still don't want to test-drive our livelihoods on, "AI-assisted Arbitration", the new AAA, offers immediate benefits with sensible safeguards that can be removed over time.

Each arbitration matter is posted onchain to our chat, . Our agent, "lexai" reviews all background notes and calldata. If it agrees, it casts a vote: allowing us to reach quorum, or not, and posts its reasoning, adding to our case law for future training.

To this end, and to build in public, we are integrating the latest open LLM, an ablated (jailbroken) variant of LLama for reasoning and func. calls,

lexai is not a rubber stamp. So far, the tests have shown a hard nose. We find this encouraging.

As oLLM with better alignment by removing biases, we also expect faster iteration without refusals on this important legal primitive. Imagine if justice could be rendered in minutes rather than years. We believe this is actually possible. This year. Stay tuned for longer post..

Indeed, I would add, non-standard approach to digital communities, while appealing to customization, will inevitably be influenced to incongruity, as value is extracted in reconciling their differences by lawyers and consultants. Open source is only way to unlock full potential.

Every digital community will want to follow standard token interfaces, and model around lindy ways to make decisions enforced by public blockchain infrastructure. People are aware of the danger of immutable processing in smart contracts.

There is no lock in, and dao tech has come of age through battle testing — every digital community will be able to leverage the capability of smart contract calls to transfer assets and permissions to new code, which are now enshrined in most dao templates.

the pretty much perfect DAO work pipeline — 🗳contributors make proposal with bytecode to deploy and payment request included 👍 if it passes, the code is deployed by DAO and payment processed

yes, a DAO could just vote no and then deploy the code anyways without the payment but game theory says, obviously, that they wouldn't get more proposals to improve the value of the DAO

the benefit of making working for DAOs more autonomous and transparent and up for vote, is that currently there is way too much friction in making things happen and people treat it like a day job it should be about incentivizing high performance, high delivery and speed

smooth on-chain governance will slow the trend of CEOs of companies that work for communities (DAOs) styling themselves as the leaders of DAOs. This is the temptation to create a recurring client relationship, but predictably slows down innovation and the power of the swarm.

Make no mistake, the corporate structure and hierarchy, with regular cadence and roles, can be most productive in tightly scoped product development for communities.

But companies, especially with digital goods and services, will realize that coordinated communities will always either fork their product or scale faster. Crypto ensures clear rules around ownership and incentives and is the tool to bridge communities and corporate productivity.

Again, community ownership is the killer product and use case for crypto and DAOs, because the winners will be global and internet-native. Decentralization is the only way to avoid the trend of corporates to stagnate around petty fiefdoms and basic human nature.

the worst thing the SEC could do for itself is declare something a security and see nothing happen as that project shrugs it off — this is a really useful way to understand their strategy, and explains the lack of clarity and action against actually decentralized protocols

this is a nice flipside to the "bahamas test" (i.e., if most famous devs stop working, does project survive?) ... and, what I will call, the "gary test" — if SEC decides project is security, would it likely keep operating even if it racked up fines for not registering?

this makes things quite clear for projects that have a publicly traded token you either have a totally anonymous core development team, or a highly distributed project, in terms of contribution and control, to pass the Gary Test

to be able to take ourselves seriously post-internet, we do need to move away from the bizarre guilding of certain knowledge and ability to earn a living as an expert credentials will make advice more persuasive and marketable, but pretending they are required, is too silly now

more sanely, guilds should focus instead on stolen valor and people claiming unearned credentials that hurt their brands

yes blockchains help with this shit

but more importantly, at the social layer, we should normalize reality

I went through law school and I know for a fact that people can learn what I did themselves and take the bar or demonstrate their merit by working

If they don’t shadow with a lawyer, they will face the uphill battle of convincing clients their advice has value — if they do well enough under this circumstance, carry on and let market do its thing Guilds will fud them anyways. Competition is good

Going to beat this drum a bit. We don't need laws to define a virtual, digital, blockchain or whatever other asset. Economic reality is what is important. Far likelier to confuse and be outdated than actually useful. Do we define which paper stock certificates are printed on?

I would say that any regulatory regime right now that really treats blockchain settled spreadsheet entries as different than any other asset should be revoked socially as stupid, and legally, as arbitrary and capricious.

Neutral means blind judgment. Which is the goal of common law systems I’m more familiar with. Same rules, applied equally, to everyone. Alice doesn’t get different treatment than Bob under the conditions of the code.

If people want safety against edge cases, they might use code with handlers, like we’ve seen in some communities that install a guardian role and timelock to delay code execution so bugs and faults can be better caught.

This power is narrowly defined by the code. I agree with our boy Satoshi here in terms of tradeoffs of traditional safeguards. I think we can use legal tradition to inform more of the handler roles of code,

In terms of DAO legal frameworks, the most important thing to establish is that only the assets governed by DAO members should be liable for DAO-related activities. Doesn't matter what we call them in this case, but that's the target.

The reason why most existing DAO laws are just LLC laws and require people to register with states and hire agents and do everything else LLCs do, is that it is not reasonable to expect DAOs get special treatment just "because blockchain" over other unincorporated associations.

LLC law is the most flexible format for associating with people with limited liability. I am very skeptical so far on attempts to insert DAO-specific language into LLC laws, because it can feel very woo and complicating.

Short of recognizing a new form of limited liability association that can pursue the same level of activity as LLC and be recognized through things like blockchain publication, or saying DAOs are LLCs if they pay tax in supportive jurisdictions, doing less is more in my opinion.

We can start though by giving protection to shared accounts on the internet, whether they use blockchain or not. The prime advantage of DAOs over non-blockchain association is fact that people can join anonymously because they can trust smart contracts and not need agreements.

Hitting my target of limiting liability to assets in shared accounts, while also respecting anonymity, is the balance to strike. This would be good DAO law going forward and can be done intelligently and succinctly, without talking about DAOs or technology that much.

What remains right now, is understanding that people don't care about our theories or if DAOs are really cool. If someone has been damaged by a DAO, the legal system is expected to provide a remedy. That's the social contract at layer zero.

The plaintiff or regulator will look at a bunch of money held in a DAO treasury. They can ask for it nicely. But we do not expect them to make these proposals, though it would be great.

They know that a legal judgment against the DAO treasury will not be real if they are in the same spot of making a proposal. This is why many crypto lawyers see DAOs as general partnerships. Because the legal system, looking for a remedy, will do whatever jig is necessary.

And this results in the only realistic remedy being from DAO members themselves. I don't care what we call this, but thems-the-facts. Here's the good news: many DAOs can be protected as non-profit associations with some minimal clarification....

and in many situations, it hard to imagine a tort or other harm from pure protocol DAOs. Be that as it may, an honest framework and legal realism is good direction because why wait for this to be clarified in bad ways.

addendum: of course, the deep legal realism is that DAOs are effectively governments because they have full control over their assets, thus the whole Autonomous feature, but I do not expect nations to ever give them that status or sovereign immunity....

code-is-law: Alice swaps token and sends to wrong address. This is final. (Sorry Alice, but can't build on top without this) codeslaw: Alice uses Bob to swap token and same thing happens. Alice has agreement with Bob. Bob refunds Alice. These worlds coexist and are desirable.

legal engineers should close the gap between the former and latter so they can be more efficient and relateable to consumers. Initially this will look like key-signed clickwrap agreements, crypto-based insurance and on-chain arbitration.

Those things sound hard and irritating but are pleasant as hell compared to existing system for managing risks.

The misconception I see with DAOs and law is that DAOs need some sort of special legal gloves. This smells like marked up legal services.

Some thoughts. A good corporate lawyer is a good DAO lawyer. They’ll understand that DAOs are just general partnerships that choose to associate with tokens. How to limit liability of these partnerships, save them money on taxes, and where to incorporate are familiar concepts.

The more difficult part of this assessment, particularly in terms of where to file, is whether the DAO legal strategy involves selling tokens to the public or just doing an airdrop.

Now, the irony, in approaching DAOs legalistically as special kinds of human organizations just because they use blockchain rather than spreadsheets, is that the blockchain provides features that can remove the need for traditional legal recognition…..

Partnerships often decide to incorporate to get banking and to make agreements. DAOs can effectively get these benefits natively if they just do things with crypto.

That is to say, the DAO contracts themselves operate as partnership agreements narrowly scoped on their functions. The contracts can receive and transfer funds as the partners wish to anyone on the internet. Way cooler and more efficient than trad legal orgs.

The hybrid of regular corporate law and these digital partnerships can unlock more features and value. We are seeing the fruits of these designs. For example, LLCs or Foundations may operate using this kind of code or be engaged to perform discrete legal tasks by DAOs.

But at all times, there is no reason to give DAOs special legal treatment beyond considering the complexity of their global environment and the tendency of them being decentralization theater for managers to fundraise for a project.

From a `codeslaw` perspective, the common understanding of smart contracts and immutability suggests that users implicitly opt into mandatory, binding arbitration by nodes, waiving courts to determine whether code ran correctly

It will take time for p2p finance and law to get more formal recognition from lawyers and judges, especially res judicata level protection of smart contract settlement, but it’s a matter of market cap. Wildly inefficient for smart contract operations to be suable at scale.

The weth peg shenanigans has invigorated discussion of a new weth implementation among ethereum coders This is good. Weth can be easily improved for the next generation of defi contracts. Here is what I think it needs 📝 :

MetaTX. Users should be able to manage weth without needing gas in their wallet. EIP2612 “permit”was just finalized (!) as a standard. Adding permit is an obvious no brainer and is in Solmate wETH and wETH10.

Complete event coverage. Currently when you deposit your ether into weth, no event is fired off. This makes it hard to track. You may have noticed sometimes weth doesn’t show up in your wallet and this is why.

Free flash loans. The standard for flash lending has been final for a while now (ERC3156). Imagine if weth wasn’t just a way to give ether a token interface. But was an ocean free to anyone to access, flowing through all of defi.

Contemporary code syntax. Sorry maker dao people. But call something ‘amount’ not ‘wad.’ Ether is an international utility and people shouldn’t need to speak warlock to understand mission critical financial code.

Foot gun protection. Prevent people from sending weth to contract itself and address zero. This can be done by initializing those two addresses with max balances so any transfers will revert from overflow. This costs users no extra gas. Very smart trick from .

Deterministic deployment. Weth should be the same address on every chain. Very easy no brainer.

Add more remote functions : depositTo — make deposit for benefit of another account. withdrawFrom — take weth from account and send ether to another. Note: if we add permit(), the signed approval can be spent for withdrawFrom(), so that’s a twofer in terms of metaTXs.

I don’t care about that supply bug thing btw. Let’s not do a storage write just to publish how many weth tokens there are. The ether balance = token supply method seems fine.

And write in huff. If we’re going to do weth again, then let’s optimize the hell out of it.

End of the day, an improved weth would save users and protocols a lot of network fees. This is what we need to be doing as a community that wants actual adoption.

I will admit — I regret letting myself get psyched out in earlier iterations on this idea with weth10. Felt like defi hazing lol. But it’s all good. If you are considering this concept, then let’s coordinate,

The "Orange Charter" (🍊, 📜) is a good start on how people are organizing online. Easy to read, and covers common situations not easily answered by code. Here are the important bits, as part of my review of legal forms working with internet money, 🪡

First off, I think people get easily confused by whole "legal wrapper" thing. It's not just about limited liability and mileage varies. Don't overthink it. Ask, "Should we have something in writing..."🤔??? This usually tracks money at stake and how you hold it together.

For example, there is a very different vibe between a token server and an investment club spending lots of ETH, because behavioral risk is necessarily different🌡.

If something goes wrong, people should know what to do. If something goes right, people should know what to do. Otherwise, you can end up rowing in circles. That is all to say, just deploying code without an instruction manual around ethos invites problems, or worse, apathy.

It's like thinking that updating microsoft word or changing banks could somehow make an organization win or lose.

This may seem obvious, but let's stay on this thought for a sec, because it's key in allowing people to do more and more complex things together:🔑 Knowing what other people are going to do is the only way to effectively coordinate. Without this operational clarity, it's chaos.

And not the good kind.

So, legal wrappers at their most basic tell people in a DAO what to expect. They can help outsiders understand, as well, and if registered with the state, grant limited liability, but at core, legal wrappers are the north star for a DAO.

Let's turn to the Orange Charter v1 (OC), shall we:

OC is hosted on the Orange DAO website. It starts with a Vision. Then moves onto Mission. Macro to Mico. First page. People know what the DAO wants to do with their time and money. Similarly, what "Success" looks like is front and center.

Next, how to "participate" in this success. This second page also has a section of "Removal". Super important norm to get clear and right.

This section in particular does some heavier lifting, by laying out a repeatable (so, more fair) procedure of exclusion: "If the removed member has been asked to give up their DAO tokens but refuses to do so, the DAO may deploy software updates to exclude that member."

Something that can poison the well of any group is a sense of preferential treatment. Firm, written social process can help avoid this before it starts.

Operations are placed into three committees: Governance, Development, Treasury. // Governance handles ops. // Development handles software. // Treasury is the multisig.

This balance and separation of powers makes basic sense. Treasury is not Ops. Otherwise Ops would spend it on itself. Ops is not development, because development should reduce needs of ops.

DAO members vote periodically on the charter itself, committees, and other large picture things. Votes are by snapshot but creation of this charter was done via emoji vote on discord.

And there we have it. That's a simple DAO legal structure that, while not opinionated beyond default general partnership (so not limited liability), it at least lays out internal norms and processes that stretch pretty far, especially the more members operate mostly in metaverse.

Check out this form of OC (🍊, 📜) that is generalized (so different kinds of clubs, not just investment), and places more into hands of members to check committees:

To note though, this generalized OC form is designed to be signed by wallets (so if you want to repurpose do a little snipping around the code references). Brackets are completed by context of signatures on NFT minter that holds text of legal template,

Why? Because while I am bullish on law + code, I see code increasingly eroding the need for legal paperwork to be completed off-chain, especially since the blockchain is literally a signature timestamping machine. So, might as well start treating it like that.

Next up, forms ~~

What I think it comes down to, in terms of Jack Dorsey also not embracing smart contracts. Is that they don't like the personal enrichment and corporate behavior around our smart contract networks right now. Bitcoin has a Satoshi and some idealogical purity in comparison.

There is no smart contract and programmable money blockchain that hasn't been launched by a vc or ico that favored founders. Bit of old lion negging of VB in this behavior, but I also sense it's not playing out in ways that excite them, socially.

A Ricardian Contract, in simple terms, allows parties to legally sign and be bound to the result of the operation of code. It does not require a blockchain or the warranty of immutability. However, these guarantees improve the security of the agreement by making code predictable.

With the trustless authentication of private keys and personal identity through cryptography we can establish the traditional elements of a binding legal agreement as databases can publicly notarize and record key signatures attesting to offer, acceptance and consideration.

Offers and other legal elements of an agreement may be contained in the functional terms and transaction history of a smart contract, which is conditional code that will run when signed by private keys.

In the operation of smart contracts, legally binding or no, data security costs adjust based on the immutability guarantees of the network host. It is more expensive to make code run predictably without interference.

Preditability and removing interference necessarily involves removing human components. In simple agreement protocols like DEX, allowing users to exchange their ledger balances in real time per private key signatures, immutability and removing people are more clearly interwined.

And valuable, as standalone legal goods.

Where value is more clearly involved in providing services, flexible code deployment (governed) and lower security chains will often be best implementation of a Ricardian Contract. People will be involved, make mistakes, change minds, and have less reason to pay for immutability.

Another lesson with exchanges. You lose the distribution set of the users depositing, making it pretty easy (apparently) to seize all their tokens. Without insurance or other backing, exchanges are like smart contracts - one hack (legal or smart) away from insolvency.

I present to you, the best thing that has happened for smart contracts, what I dub, The Shift

the initial _shift_, lowercase, was the presentation to the public of blockchains as an alternative place to park and work their capital. There was finally a choice, albeit inconvenient, if you didn’t want to play casino around gray market or had tactical anti-censorship needs.

But some money indeed shifted.

But people saw the convenience of trusting traditional services to help them manage the shift. Custody their tokens. Bridge between fiat. These helped the shift. But exposed it to age old hazards that the technology was always designed to eat.

Crypto celebrities being so wrong, so publicly, around sacrificing control for convenience have helped enlighten us all to the stark reality, that gamers already knew, Show me the Incentive, and I’ll show you the Outcome. The outcome of repeat rampant abuse of trust rings loud.

And stings the harshest coming from turncloaks in own community. The social conditions for The Shift are now set. It seems negligent to trust anything other than smart contracts and transparent wallet schemes now.

Industry has to adapt. There is value in making this easy. Lots of it. Cefi crypto exchanges are dumb and seemingly the operators trend to evil. Wallet fiat/crypto bridging, DEX, and DAOs all the way.

The blockchain is a device for actually free markets to happen on the internet. Same rules and same ledger apply to everyone. We are seeing traditional financial instruments and services share the blockchain with decentralized alternatives. Openly competing. They are losing.

There will be space for them. They capitalized on early opportunity of people being more familiar with trusting them. More and more role will need to become more specialized and transparent. Nobody is safe from blockchain automation because it clarifies where code replaces trust.

Nobody has quite caught on to where we are. There are certain functions in traditional finance that we have insisted instead become public goods, "protocols" like the internet itself. The only issue is that the public doesn't have the best UX for making use of these utilities.

I expect them to take decentralization and auditable finance far more seriously now. And for developers to embrace the inevitability of users looking to them, not exchanges, to onboard. The urgency for better UX is clear. We are losing people to scammers because of convenience.

If you get burned in crypto over trusting someone with your crypto, I feel for you, I really do, but we are at the point where the people building actual crypto (trustless) can’t keep sharing the black eye with casino exchange operators — They need to be removed from onboarding.

Tokens on and just got an upgrade (🔧,⚡), courtesy of your friendly neighborhood DAO designers at . Now, every asset can be redeemed for another, regardless of whether they implement ragequit. Same address,

Forge tests (⚒),

What Rage Router basically does as a primitive, is it introduces a universal redemption method among ERC20, ERC721 and ERC1155. While we can swap assets between each other (DEX, COW), we don't have an arbitrary system for destroying tokens in exchange for another.

Destroying tokens is especially important for DAO game theory. It is natural for DAOs to start with a simple governance token and figure out economics in future. DAOs might also want to install refund mechanism for NFT and token sales. Rage Router gives them this flexibility.

Worth noting, of course, is the "minority protection" mechanism of OG Moloch ragequit. If you put money into a DAO, ragequit says you can get your money back in exchange for burning your power. This balancing act makes DAOs more receptive to all of their competing interests.

So we can see how "burn a token, get a token", while so simple, is so powerful as a coordination tool. Governance gets stronger. Token sales more confident. Because you are asked to sacrifice something.

Rage Router is something you can build on top of. Immutable. No admin key. Optimized af. It will always allow you to associate your wallet or DAO with Redemption Token (erc20/721/1155) that can be burned, or sent to burner, in exchange for things approved as Assets. That's it.

Let's start with some actual examples: Let's say NFT sale funded a . Or, the NFT is part of an investment. A SAFE ;). Instant refund/reward using RR is simple:🔥

Any existing NFT community can take advantage of RR. The benefit of being able to reclaim capital is that it effectively gives snapshot voting the weight of game incentives. If a poll tells operator how much capital will get yanked if they don't obey, they are more receptive.

This is the beauty of good mechanism and smart contract design. If done well, it improves overall DAO UX, because the incentives are such that you can predict how people will operate (without ooooorganizing!), because rules are clear and easily enforceable in the smart contract.

The other thing that pleases me with RR, is that it gives us a way to merge or upgrade DAOs more easily. Let's say, DAO A = NFT Community. DAO B = ERC20 Community. They want to merge and upgrade to ERC1155 (C). Allowing both communities to burn A/B to get C is now generalized.

There's a bunch of other interesting things to do here as well, with some things I'd like to integrate via Splits, but for now, I encourage developers interested in the design space around Redemptions, to check out RR deployments and ask about adding to product.

Algorithimic Management is a 'weird term' in the WY DAO Law basically, because it was never really explained ... here's my attempt to fill in the spaces on what's actually in production today: "aspects of membership are managed by operations of code such as arithmetic"

Law, for reference

code is law 😑 code is math 🙂 math is law 🥵

This little bit of math is contained in the operating agreement of , and wields great power over how much your DAO membership is worth ... math is law, literally Schedule A, 's `Grimoire`

What *I like* about the WY DAO Law, is that it actually allows you to say your operating agreement is a smart contract. This is a great move in the trend of giving private agreements public recognition as protected entities.

*I don't like* the requirement that registered DAO entities need to publish their DAO smart contract. This effectively doxxes the business operations of people (c'mon a lot of you are doxxed) for no good reason.

Or, the requirement that DAO contracts need to be upgradeable-as-a-matter-of-smart contract. This alone was the deal breaker for me against recommending DAO users file as WY DAO LLC rather than a normal WY or Delaware LLC. MCV and The LAO itself couldn't file under this rule.

Without striking this and otherwise simplifying the language of the WY DAO Law to not be so opinionated on the technical definition of DAOs, I remain skeptical of it being that useful in terms of the tradeoffs of associating with the State for public legal protection.

This problem of being too opinionated, too early, and not exalting the virtue of normal legal wrappers for DAOs, is persistent in the crypto law mafia, who while more progressive than web2 lawyers, can trend towards fixing legal problems that aren't even there to sell a solution

What DAOs really need, is not special legislation, but if we do have it on the books already, to improve their tone To recap, I really like (i) automatic code deference -- code is law for members according to DAO contract, (ii) algorithmic management of DAO (code runs legal ops)

The operating agreements (code) of DAOs should be understood as formalizing these default partnerships into something more like an LLC. DAO Laws should also allow the payment of fees and taxes through crypto in order to get LLC status and, allow legal notice to DAO through NFTs

Indeed, my frustration with WY Law, is really how close it is at this point. The requirement of upgradeability breaks the notion of operating agreement being the DAO, because, it downgrades the kind of flexibility typical LLC members have with their agreements.

The other default provisions make sense, in terms of streamlining a lot of the custom legal drafting done by crypto lawyers to interface legal entities with DAOs. Ultimately, I like LLC laws to be somewhat opinionated, if not otherwise overridden by agreements.

But when I look at "operating agreement can be code" and "code can run organization" with maths, but yet, there needs to be "upgradeability", I see a tension in not allowing DAOs to explore their path more natively on the internet through iteration around immutability and AI

Similarly, the censure of stand-still DAOs, by requiring a proposal to be approved and enacted at least once a year or LLC gets dissolved, doesn't make sense to hard bake into getting a WY DAO LLC, because a regular DAO LLC might actually fulfill its purpose by being contentious

Something that could help, is we reinterpret the existing WY DAO Law to allow "redeployment" of capital and/or membership as an upgrade path for DAO LLCs. This would still, however, continue to be a case of the WY legislature trying to define technical matters via legal terms.

So, if at the end of the day, I can only get algorithmic management to mean "running organization with math and this math is also the operating agreement" ... therefore placing LLC member management just into tribute and ragequit, I am still pretty happy

because this will allow us to really demonstrate the primordial advantages of internet-native LLCs: math being law and the backoffice ops humans being the ownership, joining and leaving based on vibes and the objective quality of their inputs, legally and algorithmically

aside, my work on kali, a system for simplifying cryptographic legal organization, such as incorporating DAOs with templates, remains unpopular with some crypto lawyers, I only can wonder why!

SEC EDGAR filings on public blockchains? 👉👈

EDGAR is designed to provide a free-read database so public can understand companies they invest in, per the information SEC requires they regularly disclose. This tees up blockchains nicely — proven secure and accessible to run trillion dollar markets.

Notably .... EDGAR has been hacked before and that causes all kinds of fishiness. The public shouldn't rely on old software to make sound investment decisions. If the SEC requires disclosures, they should embrace databases that are impartially secured by money and cryptography.

The biggest unlock for the markets though, and the real reason to use public blockchains for public companies, is it's a way simpler way to authenticate disclosures. You don't need to trust accountants or the company to understand its finances. It's all there — timestamped.

Further, matters of corporate governance are incredibly streamlined. Docs? Just look at the DAO and voting smart contracts. Decisions? Look at proposal storage and transactions. Executives? Look at tokens and other proof-of-roles.

For matters relating to identity and background of trusted individuals that are harder to compute, it will still be far more secure and easier to verify, as those in roles can sign and publish their statements in the same online space they make decisions - on chain, private keys.

This is all to say, EDGAR on Ethereum isn't about pumping bags, it is a better database for the public.

As a beta for cryptonative companies, it would be inspiring, and put a lot more value into the hands of companies, to see the SEC allow certain reporting to be covered by things automated and already disclosed in their smart contracts. Let me know if I can help with any of this!

tbh, there is legal hack here Small $$$ grants, for things like audits on , can be formed as UNA entities (non profits that don't need filing but limit liability for devs) also don't need to file with IRS for 501(c)(3) cc

the reality is that many good software projects start as passion projects by solo devs, and they might lean into getting their protocols funded by a grant, reducing the risk to themselves for doing public work, and also for donors, who can write these checks off

if protocol works out, build a for profit business around it, boom

Would a DAO that only bought and burned a specific kind of token be value accretive or destructive? I sense more destructive in case of NFTs but par for course in fungible networks.

In the NFT example, transforming the token with a new mint could help with concern of adding nothing to culture other than scarcity, imo. Otherwise, for many networks, it will be better in terms of howey, to separate CEOs or devs from the role of buyback/burn. This isn’t hard!

Satoshi really nailed the point that physical cash can be more private because it's effectively irreversible -- you don't have to give your name to a lemonade stand because you aren't getting those quarters back...

But if you wanted to buy lemonade online, well, digital money has required coordination between banks to update their databases -- you aren't about to mail cash Because you are coordinating these updates and people make mistakes or raise disputes, you need to give up privacy..

But if digital money and internet transactions are as effectively irreversible as making a cash purchase, you don't assume privacy needs to be lost as first principle for making payments -- it's an opt-in and extra service (see `reversible tokens`), but not a real requirement....

Doing the heavy social lifting and game theory to get digital cash online is a big deal! Thanks Satoshi, seriously. We could all pack up and chill and watch the rest play out, as the most important battle has already been won.

let’s get cozy and read The DAO report

always helpful to look back at facts and reasoning SEC really cared about namely, slockit (a trad company) promoting The DAO offering, securing relationships with exchanges for secondary trading, running socials, and curating the proposals before they even got to The DAO members

SEC has been pretty vague about other tokens, but Report remains pretty clear on the matter and a good read (also refreshingly practical about how DAOs work, less hand wavy than what we get today) Slockit promoted a sale … to return profits … and were applying for DAO funding

… in a process they managed Like a corporation raising in crypto

Logging off for now. But I’d like to take my time with this. I think we have enough anthropology on DAOs as they stand today to make some meaningful distinctions.

with smart contracts, you are guaranteed the code will run as written. This might not be what the drafter or users, expect, however. The neatest intervention that still preserves their unique deterministic quality, is the introduction of a simple "delay", where txs can be vetted.

this too however can become a slippery slope to introduce governance and other interventions to such a degree that collusion and inefficiencies begin to creep in again. Destroying value that could otherwise be grown by the contract. Exit mechanisms are an ideal way to enjoy both.

this is to say, if user value is at stake in how a smart contract will run, the user should have the option to confirm or deny transactions that affect them. This option should be digestible according to its degree of risk and time is objective. If group value is at stake, the…

yesterday, I launched the 𝓁ex𝓉eʞK onchain law library. today, I am showing how it works with some demos. This is how you send DEAL invoice NFTs to clients:

This is how the client signs the DEAL NFT and pays. tx: As you can see, the NFT updates in real-time ᝰ~~:

So, to recap. You fill out a form. You put in the USDC amount and basenames. And your client gets this invoice as NFT. They see the NFT and terms and go "ah, ok" and login to and click their notifs, to find this document to sign and send back matching NFT.

If you set the DEAL invoice to today or earlier, when they sign, you immediately get the USDC (smart contracts know what time it is). If you set it later, because it's for future work or pending completion, that USDC is locked into smart contract until the deadline (Expiry).

You can compare, too, the text output by the smart contract, and the terms encoded into the escrow. text (from opensea view): smart contract (escrows on base): > 0xba906ecb4fec1cfcfefe85705d4e9b6f06998f225730144e47460bf4adce5f53

Large factor is reliance, which tends to concentration, but securities regime cares about related balance of power between shareholders and delegates, like boards and execs Imo, liquid delegation tilts balance away from assuming concentration is reliance that requires protection

That is to say, if the work of running a dao and producing value is token governance, methinks giving someone proxy with a clawback doesn't make the dao centralized nuff to warrant those delegates making disclosures to sec as an issuer

I think the insta revocability of token delegation is a key differentiator. When you invest money in a company with promoters and boards, etc., the legal system doesn't provide you with realtime power to slash them. Have to go through formalistic bs, easier to run down treasury.

Ironically, because legal system is so bad at enforcing rights and providing protection, it then also ruins capitalism by regulating investment opportunities into neat little cubby holes of private sale and expensive disclosure regimes. Blockchain and DAOs unironically fix this.

And it’s less clear how music provenance becomes status symbol though it can be way to register taste as ‘early collector’ This is all to say, I think we will see more creativity needed for music taking advantage of crypto provenance and NFT use case

One of the cooler value expectation inversion I’ve seen with pfp and visual NFTs is the idea that copy cats and being free to remix increases value of provenance Maybe having the original beat or collection of sounds can be a similar sign of status

Codeslaw … Crypto capitalism needs strong presumption that the assets under key are lawful Otherwise you lose the composability and automation benefits that make it relevant alternative to legacy in the first place

If your protocol includes governance of assets and related balances, Law becomes a consideration on the equities of seizing them for redistribution If not, the presumption should be that you are inviting others to use and build on top where code is in fact, law

Worth noting, if you are pursuing pure crypto capitalism, doxxing yourself and making arguments based on Law and wet agreements, is well, an invitation that code is not law in your case

Finishing this up, who wants to coauthor? "Rage Router" makes it so any token can be burned for assets. Designed to be DAO hypergood. Gas optimized with snippets from Solady, and very simple to integrate: 2 core functions, `setRagequit` and `ragequit`.

Most 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.

Aside 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) ...

I think my biggest disaffection with defi and snapshotty governor-style daos has been the scarce use of onchain proposals to fund grants from their sizeable treasuries. Slow motion is political motion. and moloch-style are the right direction.

But let's talk solutions. It makes little sense to have binary of Warchest + Multisig. This raises stakes for everything and doesn't allow money to move at speed of community, making open participation and newcomers tired. If not plugged in, won't make quorum for Warchest.

Can 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.

This 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!
