Decentralised Autonomous Organisation (DAO) Regulation

Clearing the Way for an Informed Discussion on the Future of DAO Regulation

Decentralised autonomous organisations (“DAO”s) – as well as similarly decentralised arrangements based on the blockchain – are one of the most challenging phenomena emerging from the blockchain revolution, presenting unprecedented legal challenges to lawyers and academics.

The emergence of DAOs has the potential to be the transformative event for corporate law in the 21st century, putting into question tenets we have had for granted and forcing corporate lawyers to rethink what they hold as immutable and to adapt many corporate law rules to the new reality.

At the Lisbon DAO Observatory, a research project set up within the Lisbon Research Centre for Private Law (CIDP – Centro de Investigação de Direito Privado) of the Faculty of Law of the University of Lisbon, we are seeking to find answers for these deeply enthralling and exciting challenges.

The objective of this Research Project is to try to find legal answers to the current legal challenges posed by DAOs and similar arrangements in order to help shaping future legislative action.
