Smart contracts can determine the terms and conditions of all transactions on the chain. The chain can also use data from users to validate transactions. This helps lower transaction fees and helps prevent fraud. Lastly, the project will operate on a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) to help with stability and mutability.

A way for governments to gain an element of control over cryptocurrency transactions. It holds everyone accountable. Regulation is often needed or desired as financial systems scale.

Cardano Regulation

Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) are decentralized online organizations whose members have the ability to collectively decide how the organization should allocate its funds. They use blockchain technology to enable members to vote on the organization's decisions rather than relying on a traditional hierarchical structure.

Why Cardano

Cryptocurrency transactions can span the world. This brings about an issue of which set of laws should be applied to transactions. It is also difficult, perhaps impossible, to determine which individual has ownership of a particular token. 

Issues with Cardano Regulation

Individuals have sole access to their funds on the Cardano network through wallets. No one else can access someone else’s funds. Second, the history of transactions on the ledger can never be tampered with. Lastly, the flow of assets is unrestricted, allowing, users to transact with anyone at any time on the chain.

Technologies such as DAOs pose an incredible opportunity for building and sharing music. Artists can form DAOs around their bands, creating tighter-knit communities of hardcore followers that they can call upon for help. The distance between the supporters and the artists becomes significantly smaller and artists are able, on one distinct platform, to interact with their most committed and excited fans.

DAOs form an instituion. The study of instiutional economics aims to understand the role of formal or informal institutions in an socio-economic context.

Governance of DAOs

Forks are needed when the network requires of major or technical upgrades, the ones which changes the rules of the protocol. The fork can also be used to:
- Fix bugs
- Make changes
- Changes of the governance structure of the DAO

It's like a software fork, where developers create a new version of the software, but in this case applied on a decentralized network.

Once the Fork is made clients must update their software to implement the new fork rules
