LexDAO is the international guild of legal engineers.

In case you haven't heard about legal engineers before, legal engineers are professionals with a background in law and computer science.

Famous legal engineers include:

=> Charles Goldfarb, the inventor of SGML and the grandfather of the Internet

=> Nick Szabo, the inventor of smart contracts and [arguably] the grandfather of Ethereum

In other words, legal engineers have created some of the most important Internet innovations of all time by merging legal know-how with computer science know-how

LexDAO itself is an OG DAO founded by some of the most acclaimed legal engineers in the DAO developer community.

LexDAO adheres to many of the inspiring values found in DAO ethics, including:

=> flat organizational structure where everyone is welcome

=> Build public goods and offer public services

=> Work in public

=> Prioritize supporting impactDAOs

=> Advocate for regenerative economics

=> Avoid rent-extracting business models

LexDAO acts as a business association.

And, though LexDAO is a legal engineers guild, cryptolawyers make up a large portion of our membership.

Among other things, LexDAO catalyzes the development of cutting-edge DAO infra as well as crypto advocacy initiatives.

For example:

More on the engineering side, KaliDAO is a Moloch DAO operating system that has spun out of LexDAO.

KALI incorporates valuable legal innovations such as legal wrappers and code deference legal entity operating agreements.

More on the legal side, LexDAO continues to comment on important DAO legislation such as the Wyoming DAO law.

Cvria is an onchain dispute resolution subDAO that automates as much as possible using our "LexLocker" smart contracts, but also offers traditional resolution where necessary.

LexDAO is pioneering onchain real world assets infra, decentralized identity products and music industry compliance.

Last but not least, our Clinic offers low cost "legal aid inspired" services to the Web3 community.

The Clinic uses a student + supervisor model commonly found in law schools to teach law students practical Web3 skills and keep costs down.

The Clinic builds in public and will continue to work itself out of a job through open education and expanding automation.
