We advise DeFi projects on structuring operations, governance, and documentation in a way that reflects how protocols function in practice.

How we typically support

We map real protocol functions to governance and risk controls, and document roles and responsibilities with dispute and enforcement scenarios in mind.

Scope of services

• Mapping governance and responsibilities (decision rights, execution paths)

• Reviewing and drafting terms, disclosures, and governance documents

• Assessing risk scenarios for incidents and dispute pressure points

• Coordinating regulatory and compliance workstreams where needed

• Coordinating cross-border specialist inputs where relevant

Approach

DeFi projects are assessed by factual operation, not narratives. We focus on aligning documentation with reality, clarifying decision rights, and preparing for incident-driven stress tests.

Deliverables

• A governance and decision-rights matrix

• A documentation alignment review (reality vs. paper)

• An incident and dispute playbook (roles, records, communications, steps)

Reality vs paper

DeFi structures are assessed by how they operate in fact. We align governance and documentation with actual decision-making and incident response, clarifying roles, control points, and records that matter when disputes arise.

Selected experience (anonymised)

• Obtaining a on-action letter from the Liechtenstein Financial Markets Authority (FMA) for a trading bot

• Advising on governance mechanics for protocol-related operations

• Reviewing disclosures and terms for internal consistency and defensibility

• Designing decision-rights frameworks to reduce dispute risk

If you need a documentation and governance “reality check,” we can typically accommodate short timelines.
