**Affirmed position.** The Decentralised Autonomous Organization: Legal personality and the problem governance presents the following source proposition: Building on the Wyoming LLC Law,4 the Act also sets forth minimal obligations for managers, underlying governance arrangements for governance tokens and protections for DAO members. 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.

**Status.** affirmed  **Published.** 2026-07-31
