Decentralized Organizations and The Rule of Law

Introduction

The notion of decentralized organization is broad and may include a wide range of institutions ranging from private to public and even the level of regulation required may change substantially in relation to the functions and the responsibilities that have to be decentralized.

As a starting point, to properly frame the discussion in relation to the research project goals, we briefly review the two basic setups that represent the starting point for the proposal of a new legal infrastructure that fosters efficiency of existing decentralized organizations.

On one side we will explore the emerging discipline that tries to regulate the so called Decentralized Autonomous Organizations in the crypto space.
