Past Panel on "DAOs - Rethinking Decentralized Power"

Event Details: 

- Date: 21. November 2023

- Time: 17.15 - 20.00 

- Location: ETH Zurich, LEE building, E 101, Leonhardstrasse 21, 8092 Zurich

With the growing number of DeFi projects, the number of Decentralized Autonomous Organisations (DAOs) – virtual organisations built and run on code and blockchain technology – is also growing. The new corporate structure of DAOs offers benefits appropriate for the era of digitalisation and decentralisation. However, as most countries around the globe do not yet have in place a specific legal regime for DAOs, how DAOs are to be understood and categorised is a matter for speculation.

In this workshop we will elaborate on the concept of DAO, share insights on current DAOs and discuss the future challenges around legal aspects.

This event is public and free of charge, please use the link for registration below.
