 <li style="font-weight: 400">Wyoming passed a bill that recognizes the blockchain-related aspects of DAOs as legal entities and has attracted praise from several members of the crypto industry.</li>
</ul>
Wyoming has passed a law recognizing blockchain-based decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) as legal entities.
The bill — titled the Decentralized Unincorporated Nonprofit Association Act (DUNA) — was signed by the state’s Governor on March 7 and will be effective starting July 1.
The full text of the bill does not explicitly name DAOs. Instead, it describes how eligible nonprofit organizations can create governance systems based on distributed ledger technology (DLT), including blockchain, digital assets, and smart contracts. DAOs use these systems to conduct community votes on governance proposals.
The text also says that membership interests and voting rights should be freely transferable between individuals. DAOs typically achieve this by using transferable crypto tokens in the voting process.

Wyoming’s law has notably been praised by a16z, a division of Andreessen Horowitz.
In a statement, a16z told CryptoSlate that it would encourage all portfolio companies with a decentralized structure to incorporate in Wyoming and mandate this for applicable portfolio companies.
The firm added that Wyoming’s approach is “likely to become the industry standard” for blockchain networks established in the US.
Meanwhile, Coinbase chief legal officer Paul Grewal said <a href="https://twitter.com/iampaulgrewal/status/1766127442073473177" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">states</a> like Wyoming are “critical sources of innovation and inspiration.”

 Why does federalism matter in crypto? This is why— states are critical sources of innovation and inspiration, and Wyoming as much as any. Decentralization and legal structure don’t have to be exclusive. <a href="https://t.co/Yip3E9OCFs" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">https://t.co/Yip3E9OCFs</a>

He added that this shows that individual state laws allow decentralization and legislation to coexist.

Crypto-focused lawyer Preston Byrne <a href="https://twitter.com/prestonjbyrne/status/1766185559238582451" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">called</a> Wyoming’s updated law “far better” than the state’s previous attempt at DAO legislation, which did not fully recognize the crypto-related aspects of DAOs and instead treated them as member-managed LLCs.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">
 So, about that DUNA thing.
 I was not a fan of Wyoming's last attempt at passing a DAO law.
 I am reading the DUNA law now and… goddamn. It's so much better.
 The issue with the last DAO law Wyoming passed is that it was basically a rebadged member-managed LLC. It did not…

Vermont and Tennessee continue to treat DAOs as LLCs, similar to Wyoming’s earlier model, while other US states do not have any comparable legislation in effect.

Shifting away from an LLC model is critical because DAOs are often composed of anonymous members and differ significantly from traditional businesses.&nbsp;
This limitation affects their ability to comply with financial and regulatory requirements.&nbsp;
Wyoming’s latest law now accommodates those differences and fully sets out the activities that DAOs can engage in.
