Wyoming was the first US state to legally recognize DAO LLCs (SF0038, 2021). Turkish crypto traders forming Wyoming DAO LLC get US limited liability for on-chain activities, algorithmic governance recognition, and pass-through tax treatment. Firstbase handles DAO LLC formation for $599 first year including EIN and Wyoming DAO Articles.

Tax-wise, DAO LLC follows standard US LLC treatment: 0% US federal tax when non-ETBUS with no US-source effectively connected income. Form 5472 with pro-forma 1120 mandatory under IRC §6038A.
