BlockBeats News, August 12th, according to The Block, the Uniswap Foundation recently proposed to establish a new legal entity named "DUNI" for its governance organization under the decentralized non-corporation non-profit association (DUNA) legal framework in Wyoming.

The foundation is responsible for overseeing the world's largest decentralized cryptocurrency spot exchange. This new legal entity will provide a legal wrapper while retaining the existing governance structure of the Uniswap DAO, allowing it to engage service providers, sign contracts, and fulfill regulatory and tax compliance obligations.

If the proposal is approved, the Uniswap DAO will become the largest decentralized organization to adopt this legal framework. According to the proposal terms, the entity will receive $16.5 million worth of UNI tokens to cover past tax obligations and establish a legal defense budget. As Uniswap has never opted to be taxed as a corporation, the foundation expects to pay less than $10 million to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to settle historical tax debts and fines.

The Uniswap Foundation stated in the announcement that adopting the DUNA framework would pave the way for protocol fees, at which point a portion of the liquidity provider fees would be directed to the DAO treasury.
