Operating Agreements
"A cooperative is built on a foundation of clear, mutual understanding and legally binding commitments to collective autonomy."
Legal Structure
irl.coop operates as IRL Cooperative DAO LLC, a Wyoming Member-Managed Decentralized Autonomous Organization. This legal structure was intentionally chosen to bridge the gap between traditional corporate personality and modern cryptographic governance.
As a Wyoming DAO LLC, our smart contracts are recognized as having legal supremacy in matters of governance and member rights, ensuring that our technical implementation is not just a tool, but a legally binding reality.
