This Week on Unchained: Legal Issues With DAOs, Shapella in the Rearview, and More!

April 15, 2023

How can decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) be more resilient? Gabriel Shapiro, general counsel at Delphi Labs, and Fatemeh Fannizadeh, lawyer and researcher at Geneva-legal.ch, survey the landscape and offer their insights on what will fuel the next wave of DAO innovation.

This week, the crew discusses how much ETH is getting unstaked and deposited after Shapella, the market reaction following the successful implementation of the upgrade, whether FTX could reopen after its massive collapse, and more!
