Groundbreaking decision by the SushiSwap community: legal structure in Switzerland to limit DAO liability

 


SushiSwap ( SUSHI ) is a collaborative suite of DeFi tools and plans to introduce a legal structure designed to mitigate risks for token holders and members of the Sushi protocol


Sushi's new legal structure is based on a community-approved proposal dated March 20, which stated that an association or foundation would be needed to provide legal clarity and administrative support for SushiDAO.



The proposal's author, and a member of the SushiSwap community Tangle, said the proposed foundation would play a key role in reducing liability for contributors, thereby fueling sushi's future growth.


Due to the possible risk reduction and limitation of liability through legal clarity for owners and contributors, the proposal for a legal structure was accepted unanimously.

Tangle has upfront estimates of the cost of setting up the foundation at up to $100,000. After that, it regularly accumulates around $10,000:


"There are several regions that can be considered for establishing a DAO. But Swiss association law is currently the leading solution."

The foundation will be set up by the sushi community in four stages. These included the appointment and determination of the members, the distribution and transfer of the tokens and the draft of the foundation statutes.


The proposal also provides for service entities, including "DevCo service entities and other key contributors of entities," to be established. Individuals residing in crypto-friendly countries are considered ideal candidates for membership in the foundation.


During the discussion, community members emphasized the importance of defining the purpose of the foundation and what it owns:


"This is definitely a must. It really is about time Sushi updated itself and put legal protections in place for all contributors."

In this context: Dogecoin Foundation: Names and logos registered as trademarks in the EU


As smaller crypto communities gradually become mainstream, foundations play a crucial role in determining the future development roadmap and the relevance of the project. In order to eradicate imitators, the Dogecoin Foundation has registered "Doge", "Dogecoin" and the associated logos as trademarks in the European Union.



As Cointelegraph reported, the Dogecoin Foundation has often had issues with its name and imagery being misused. According to ex-director Ross Nicoll, several parties have registered trademarks for Dogecoin. He went on to state that "in the summer of 2021 there was a potential lawsuit against the developers by someone who was claiming that we were responsible for their funds".

The 5 largest platforms for non-fungible token (NFT) collectibles

  Since the beginning of 2021, non-fungible tokens (NFT) have had no holding back and the sector is setting new records almost every day.  More and more artists, stars and brands are realizing the potential - NFT are well on their way to catapulting the crypto space into the mainstream.  But which collectibles are currently the most popular? What are NFT? NFT are unique tokens that cannot be exchanged one-for-one for an equivalent token.  Any asset that is tokenizable can be an NFT.  This includes, for example, (digital) works of art, trading cards, game items and crypto domains.  Theoretically, however, real estate or securities can also be mapped as NFT. NFTs can be used to transparently map ownership structures on a public blockchain.  This allows them to store value just like real objects, even if additional copies are easy to make.  For example, the original picture of the Mona Lisa is significantly more valuable than a photo, as everyone kno...

CARDALONIA: THE CARDANO METAVERSE OPENS THE GATES!

  Have you ever been to Cardalonia? With these words, the Cardano Metaverse called Cardalonia starts the gates. In this 3D world, developers and users can interact with each other. First of all, users have to create an individual character with which they can move online. After that you can enter one of the worlds built by developers with this character. You can also purchase your own land in the Cardano Metaverse via the marketplaces in Cardalonia . This is secured by Cardano's blockchain technology and therefore offers a relatively secure transfer of ownership. Since these are only digital plots of land, it is not yet entirely clear when the plots of land are purchased whether they can also be sold again in the future. A possible profit cannot be estimated at the moment. In Cardalonia, the cryptocurrency Lonia is used. The maximum amount of tokens in circulation is 100,000,000. The team consists of Alice Sand (Co-Founder), Vasil Air (CTO) and Dustan Water (Fullstack Developer). T...

Cardano: This is the vision that founder Charles Hoskinson has
