Many DAOs do not have clarity on whether basic undertakings, such as the ability to sign contracts, manage assets, or meet tax obligations, will expose participants to personal liability.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>Bipartisan congressional support<\/h2>\n<p>The initiative has garnered political backing, with Senator <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/people\/cynthia-lummis\/\">Cynthia Lummis<\/a> endorsing the framework and championing efforts to &#8220;build the legal foundation American innovators need to succeed.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The letter references the President's Working Group Report on Digital Assets, which mandates Treasury and IRS collaboration with blockchain nonprofits to facilitate US domiciliation.<\/p>\n<p>Uniswap Governance, described as &#8220;one of the largest and most active DAOs in the world,&#8221; has proposed adopting the DUNA structure as a test case for the broader ecosystem. The coalition argues this represents a milestone demonstrating that compliance and decentralization can coexist within US legal frameworks.<\/p>\n<p>Eighteen organizations co-signed the letter, including established entities such as <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/companies\/polygon-labs\/\">Polygon<\/a>, Tally, and the Blockchain Association, alongside newer players like <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/coins\/zksync\/\">ZKsync<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/coins\/morpho\/\">Morpho<\/a>, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/coins\/solana\/\">Solana<\/a> Policy Institute.<\/p>\n<p>The diverse coalition spans infrastructure providers, DeFi protocols, venture funds, and policy advocacy groups.<\/p>\n<h2>Competitive threat<\/h2>\n<p>The signatories emphasized the competitive threat posed by other jurisdictions actively courting blockchain organizations.<\/p>\n<p>The letter warns that continued regulatory ambiguity risks pushing innovation away from US markets as global competitors establish clearer frameworks for decentralized entities.<\/p>\n<p>The coalition requests three specific federal actions: recognition of good-faith DAO compliance efforts, engagement with communities piloting frameworks like DUNA, and provision of federal pathways, including safe harbors, interpretive guidance, or tailored rulemaking.<\/p>\n<p>The letter concluded:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;With thoughtful collaboration, we can ensure that the U.S. remains a home for internet-native innovation rooted in transparency, compliance, and open participation.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Uniswap Foundation spearheaded a coalition of 18 major cryptocurrency organizations in petitioning Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent for federal guidance on decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) compliance.
