About Us

INO NPO is a nonprofit organization born in the heart of Estonia's digital society. Our mission is to construct accessible and legally compliant building blocks, advocating for a predictable legal framework, to advance global adoption of Internet Native Organizations, guiding the digital era towards a more equitable and efficient future.

In pursuit of our mission, we engage in experimentation and research, developing standards and best practices. We advocate for and facilitate the implementation of INOs across various domains, ranging from collective ownership to multi-stakeholder governance.

From governments to companies and nonprofits - anyone with an impact-driven, open-governance, or globally-scalable mission can deploy Internet Native Organizations to inspire collective action worldwide while utilizing accessible, equitable, code-driven and legal infrastructure.

Our Milestones Reflecting Impact

The First DAO Incorporated In Estonia — In August 2022, we drafted our custom DAO-inspired AoA (legal wrapper for constitution) for INO MTÜ, the first non-profit DAO to be accepted in Estonia's commercial register.

DAO Day Estonia — The biggest DAO-related conference, held on March 28th, 2023, was a milestone event that brought together DAO builders, experts, and leading thinkers from various fields to articulate a common vision for a new form of collaboration and organization.

Internet-Native Show — We've started a series of interviews with people who are making waves in the internet-native economy and DAO ecosystem.

Participation in the European Blockchain Regulatory Sandbox —We're honored to be the only organization from Estonia selected for the inaugural cohort of the European Blockchain Regulatory Sandbox. This participation underscores our commitment to exploring the potential of DAOs and their legal and regulatory landscape in Estonia and Europe.
