# DAO Structure

### The Legal Side

While the MODA legal entity does have a board of directors, the DAO entity itself is somewhat separate; **this allows for freedom of movement over funds on-chain without real-world bureaucracy**.&#x20;

It also paves the way for eventual dissolution of the foundation in favour of fully autonomous on-chain governance.&#x20;

### The Organisation Side

Like any good DAO should be, MODA is composed of several working groups that are interconnected on their mission and purpose, aiming to build out a valuable ecosystem. MODA's working groups are;

* Organiser
* Marketing
* Technical Development
* Technical Research/Strategy
* Business Development
* Artist Development
* Community Management
* TVL (Tokenomics, Voting, Liquidity)

Per [DAO Master Labs](https://daomasterlabs.com)' insights, we've constructed a living, breathing organisation with constant contributions from core members, community members and advisors/supporters. This model has been dubbed the "Organism Model" and you can see why below;

With this organisation model in place, MODA benefits in the following ways;

* Bottle necks are reduced immensely due to no centralised chain of command
* Each working group is as important as the next, allowing for contributors to feel true work fulfilment&#x20;
* The model is flexible and allows those who can wear many hats to do so without compromising the wider ecosystem
* The organiser working group is composed of multiple experienced individuals who must vote internally and have a majority win to make decisions. Although this process can be inefficient, it prevents having to rest all internal decisions on one person (i.e. a CEO)
