**Affirmed position.** Decentralized autonomous organizations: adapting legal structures and proposing a new model of DAOLLP presents the following source proposition: The suggested model seeks to provide legal personhood, limited liability protection and a framework for compliance with existing laws and regulations while maintaining the core principles of decentralization and transparency. 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.
