Not your vote, not your lawyer: Delegation and the Legal Challenges
We will explore the dynamic intersection of delegation and DAOs, concepts driving the future of decentralized governance. Delegation enables more efficient decision-making and distribution of power within DAOs but comes with its risks and challenges both from the delegate and delegator sides.
We will dive into how delegation structures work in DAOs and the challenges they pose to traditional hierarchical models from a legal perspective, examining possible legal risks in governance delegation and how to mitigate them.
We'll look at real-world examples of successful DAOs and how they leverage delegation to foster innovation, transparency, and collaboration in the decentralized ecosystem, analyzing the particular role of delegates in these ecosystems, and legal measures taken by those ecosystems.
