Team and roadmap

Proposal

First State Fintech Lab ("FSFL") is a proposal for the Aragon project - DAOs and the interaction with the physical world.

FSFL will assist Aragon to define and implement a DAO digital jurisdiction by performing the following:

  1. Identify the relevant US requirements for traditional organizations in which Aragon would need to meet if it were a traditional organization.
  2. Based on point 1, define gaps which would not apply as Aragon is a DAO. Example, no FEIN exists for a DAO.
  3. Based on gaps identified in point 2, collaborate with regulators and subject matter experts (lawyers, tax accountants, etc.) to define the digital jurisdiction. These could include curated events, thought leadership roundtables, one-on-one meetings, or other methods.
  4. Assist Aragon with implementation of the digital jurisdiction.

About FSFL

Founded by Delawareans, Entrepreneurs, and Policy Wonks, the First State Fintech Lab is a partner with the State of Delaware's Financial Innovation Hub. FSFL's primary mission is to ensure that Delaware functions as the FinTech capital of the United States. FSFL’s approach is holistic, community driven, and co-enabled by government. It is a collective, highly focused group of industry, government, academic, and community leaders whose purpose is to drive systemic change in order to strengthen and grow the Fintech sector in the First State.

FSFL bridges the gap between financial technology innovation and policy. FSFL achieves this by developing an ecosystem to promote collaboration amongst key stakeholders – fintech companies, regulatory bodies, financial institutions, and professional services organizations.

FSFL maintains relationships with various State and Federal agencies including Delaware’s Office of the State Bank Commissioner, Delaware Prosperity Partnership, Office of the Secretary of State of Delaware, the Internal Revenue Service, and many more. These relationships lend to effective navigation through and support of the various policy and regulatory environments. Given its relationships and team’s expertise, FSFL is best suited to support Aragon for this request.
