**Affirmed position.** Decentralized autonomous organizations: adapting legal structures and proposing a new model of DAOLLP presents the following source proposition: It explores the distinctive characteristics of DAOs, including their decentralized governance, reliance on smart contracts operating on blockchain and the challenges they face under current UK law and underscores the necessity for legal adaptations that accommodate these innovative structures. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Because consumer protection is a core mandate of any legislature, legislatures are unlikely to surrender control and jurisdiction over a DAO, which would mean no legal recourse and no ability to sue in national courts, while at the same time granting the DAO limited liability. The proposed response is an extension: the relationship should remain limited to the retrieved source proposition and the mapped Kaal claim unless fuller source review supports a broader conclusion.
