A decentralized autonomous organization (DAO), sometimes labeled a decentralized autonomous corporation (DAC), is an organization that is run through rules encoded as computer programs called smart contracts.[1]:229 A DAO's financial transaction record and program rules are maintained on a blockchain.[1]:229[2][3] There are several examples of this business model. The precise legal status of this type of business organization is unclear.[4]
