Frequently Asked Questions

A Cayman Islands Web3 Foundation is a specialized form of foundation company designed for decentralized projects and tokenized ecosystems. It is limited by guarantee, meaning there are no named beneficiaries. As a result, it is structured as a memberless and founderless foundation, allowing governance to be exercised by a community of token holders rather than traditional shareholders. This structure is particularly well suited for crypto projects, DAOs, and blockchain-based initiatives that require decentralized governance.

Cayman Foundations are flexible and commonly used for:

Web3 and decentralized projects
Decentralized governance structures

They combine elements of corporations and trusts, offering liability protection while supporting decentralized and community-driven governance models.

Cayman Islands Foundations are tax-neutral. They are not subject to corporate tax, income tax, capital gains tax, or withholding tax, making them highly attractive for global Web3 and crypto projects.

Directors are registered with the Cayman Registry and form part of the public record
Beneficiaries (token holders) are not publicly disclosed

Foundations are often initiated by Senior Managing Officials (SMOs). While their roles are filed with the authorities, they are not publicly visible, helping maintain confidentiality for the project's community.
