About MIDAO

MIDAO offers DAO LLC incorporation services in the Marshall Islands—the only country that legally recognizes DAOs—with legal templates and governance support.

MIDAO is the official DAO LLC registry partner of the Republic of the Marshall Islands, offering an innovative legal solution for incorporating Web3 projects, DAOs, and AI Agents as recognized entities. Operating under an exclusive public-private partnership with the Marshall Islands government, MIDAO provides a cutting-edge legal framework specifically designed for decentralized technologies, allowing organizations to operate within a compliant and protective structure without sacrificing their decentralized values.

Through the DAO LLC legal structure, MIDAO enables both for-profit and non-profit entities to register with minimal overhead, flexible governance mechanisms, and unprecedented legal clarity. Unlike traditional jurisdictions, MIDAO’s framework supports pseudonymous participation, on-chain governance, and token-based ownership. It’s the first platform to combine national legal recognition, blockchain-native functionality, and comprehensive DAO support into a single, affordable package for emerging and established crypto projects alike.

MIDAO is the premier registered agent for DAO LLC formation in the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI), uniquely positioned to support Web3 startups, DeFi protocols, AI-driven organizations, and traditional businesses seeking blockchain-native compliance. Backed by a legally binding partnership with the RMI government, MIDAO streamlines the incorporation process by offering an all-in-one service that includes registration, compliance, document generation, and government filings.

The history of MIDAO begins with the passing of RMI’s Non-Profit Entities Act Amendment in 2021, which opened the door to legally recognized DAO LLCs. In 2022, the Marshall Islands formalized its first non-profit DAO LLC, Admiralty DAO, and soon after, MIDAO became the exclusive entity authorized to process DAO LLCs. Over the following years, new legislative frameworks—including the DAO Act of 2022, its 2023 amendment, and 2024 DAO Regulations—solidified the legal foundation of DAO LLCs with tax advantages, token governance compatibility, and clear securities law treatment.

By mid-2024, MIDAO had surpassed 200 DAO LLC registrations, incorporating high-profile projects like Minswap, Pyth Network, DFINITY, Gnosis Guild, and MetaDAO. The platform is now widely regarded as the global leader in DAO incorporation services. Unlike other jurisdictions—such as Switzerland, or offshore options like Cayman and BVI—MIDAO provides legal clarity without high costs, regulatory gray areas, or the need for local intermediaries.

With support for token-based governance, algorithmic management, and both for-profit and non-profit models, MIDAO’s RMI DAO LLC is the first structure truly optimized for decentralized, blockchain-native organizations. Whether you’re launching a meme coin, building an NFT platform, or running a DeFi protocol, MIDAO delivers legal robustness while maintaining the ethos of decentralization.

MIDAO FAQ

Yes, one of the key advantages of the MIDAO framework is the ability to participate pseudonymously. Members of an RMI DAO LLC can be represented by crypto wallet addresses instead of names, so long as they are not considered beneficial owners. This feature preserves decentralization while maintaining legal recognition, making it a powerful tool for privacy-conscious Web3 contributors.
MIDAO supports algorithmic governance using smart contracts. The DAO LLC legal structure allows organizations to replace traditional human managers with on-chain rules and token-based voting. This means your governance model can point directly to your smart contracts, like the Pyth Network DAO, which uses on-chain contracts as its operating agreement.
Yes, but with conditions. While the MIDAO system supports both for-profit and tax-exempt nonprofit DAO LLCs, switching between them requires a new filing and potential tax review. Nonprofits are approved as such during initial registration, so any conversion would need to meet Marshall Islands regulatory requirements. MIDAO offers guidance and document support throughout this process.
Absolutely. Many organizations using MIDAO are not DAOs in the traditional sense. The DAO LLC is simply a crypto-optimized legal wrapper. You can incorporate today and begin with standard LLC practices—such as named members and paper records—and later transition to token-based governance as your project matures.
Standard DAO LLC registration with MIDAO is completed in under 30 days, thanks to the 2024 DAO Regulations. If you choose the TurboDAO package, your entity can be set up in under 24 hours. MIDAO’s team offers hands-on support and pre-configured legal templates to help you move quickly through every step of the incorporation process.
