Back to collectionA jurisdiction chosen, with the foundation’s role still to define
A first draft of the foundation’s registration papers had been completed, with the name field still blank at that point; legal counsel had argued that a foundation entity should lead the chain. The jurisdiction for registering the foundation was chosen, and the papers entered the law firm’s process. Compared with the earlier stage of studying possible structures, the foundation now had a defined route through the legal process.

A first draft of the foundation’s registration papers had been completed, with the name field still blank at that point; legal counsel had argued that a foundation entity should lead the chain. As engineering worked on the bridge and sequencer, the legal structure also needed to move from discussion into documents that could be processed.
The jurisdiction for registering the foundation was chosen, and the papers entered the law firm’s process. The team passed the selected jurisdiction to the lawyers and revisited wording in the draft that touched on the chain’s responsibilities and its relationship with the game side. Those boundaries could not rest solely on the shorthand used in engineering meetings. Choosing a jurisdiction answered where the papers would go, but did not fill in every part of them.
Compared with the earlier stage of studying possible structures, the foundation now had a defined route through the legal process. Lawyers still had to review the papers, and the team had to clarify the unsettled name and description of responsibilities. Bringing the legal wording into line with the actual development plan remained the next task.
