All-Inclusive Pricing (no hidden fees!)

MIDAO's all-inclusive package is a one-time setup fee of $3,000–$9,500, scaled to your project's treasury and funding size ($9,500 is the standard rate), plus an annual fee of $2,000–$5,000 on the same basis. Both fees include all MIDAO services and all RMI government fees combined.

Yes. Setup pricing is scaled to your project's treasury and funding size: if your project holds under $250,000 in total treasury and funding, registration can be as low as $3,000, with the same all-inclusive service as the standard package. Resellers and referral partners also get special pricing. Chat with us or schedule a call to find out what your project qualifies for.

Everything needed to form your DAO LLC: full entity formation with the Marshall Islands registrar, all government fees, template legal documents, unlimited operating agreement workshops, priority onboarding with a private Telegram chat for your team, access to MIDAO's digital registration portal, and direct support from the MIDAO team throughout the process.

The annual fee is all-inclusive: registered agent services, a local RMI address with mail forwarding, all government filings including the annual filing, certified and notarized documents like certificates of good standing, template documents, an annual operating agreement workshop, and introductions to banks and crypto-friendly service providers. The fee is tiered by treasury and funding size — $2,000 (under $30,000), $3,000 ($30,000–$150,000), or $5,000 (over $150,000) — and is due every January 1.

There are no hidden fees — the setup and annual fees include all MIDAO services and government fees combined, with no per-document or per-filing charges. One separate cost to know about: for-profit DAO LLCs pay the Marshall Islands' 3% gross revenue tax directly to the government (it does not apply to capital gains, dividends, or invested capital). Non-profit DAO LLCs are tax-exempt.

According to independent provider pricing (July 2026), a DAO-specialized Cayman Islands foundation starts around $18,500 to set up plus $5,575 or more per year in mandatory service-provider fees, and a Swiss foundation runs $23,500+ in formation fees plus a mandatory CHF 50,000 (~$56,000) capital dedication and $11,500+ per year in ongoing compliance. Structures with lower headline fees — like a bare BVI company or a generic Swiss association — are not DAO-purpose-built and still need substantial bespoke legal work on top. MIDAO's setup fee — $3,000 to $9,500, scaled to project size — already includes what a DAO actually needs out of the box.

No. An RMI DAO LLC requires no local directors, council members, or nominees, and no physical presence in the Marshall Islands — MIDAO provides the registered agent service and local address as part of the standard package. Template documents and unlimited workshops mean most projects don't need to hire outside counsel to get formed, though MIDAO is not a law firm and complex projects may still want independent legal advice.

After you submit the form, the MIDAO team reaches out to kick off onboarding. You'll get access to the registration portal and template documents, workshop your operating agreement with the team (unlimited sessions), and MIDAO files everything with the RMI government on your behalf. Once registered, you stay in compliance through the annual filing portal, with MIDAO handling government interactions year-round. Need the entity faster? The TurboDAO add-on creates your entity in under 24 hours.

Yes — all DAO LLC fees can be paid in most major cryptocurrencies or in fiat. For-profit DAO LLCs can also pay their gross revenue taxes in crypto or fiat.
