The development of blockchain technology has given rise to the Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO), a new business organizational model that operates through smart contracts in a decentralized manner, without a conventional management structure. The existence of DAOs has not been accommodated in the Indonesian corporate legal system, creating a legal vacuum regarding legal subject status, accountability, legal standing, taxation, and dispute resolution. This study aims to analyze the characteristics of DAOs from a corporate law perspective and the urgency of convergence between corporate law and blockchain technology in its regulation in Indonesia. The study employs a normative juridical method with statutory, conceptual, and comparative approaches. The results indicate the need for regulations that recognize and regulate DAOs as digital business entities to achieve legal certainty, legal protection, and a sustainable digital investment climate.
