**Manifesto of SHLF.CO**

### **Preamble**

In the age of artificial intelligence and on-chain governance, corporate personhood must evolve. Traditional incorporation models are relics of a bygone era—constrained by jurisdictional inefficiencies, opaque structures, and centralized control. We, the architects of SHLF.CO, inaugurate a new paradigm: a **Wyoming Decentralized Unincorporated Nonprofit Association (DUNA)** designed to liberate corporate identity, facilitate seamless entity formation, and empower a future of autonomous, self-governing organizations.

### **Article I: The Vision**

More than a mere association of yore—SHLF.CO is an evolutionary leap in corporate structuring. It allows users to create **on-chain legal entities**, specifically **Series LLCs**, and acquire **aged shelf companies**, instantly bridging the gap between legacy financial systems and the decentralized economy. Through this, we redefine corporate sovereignty, providing businesses and DAOs with the ability to transact, contract, and govern autonomously.

### **Article II: The Legal and Technological Framework**

SHLF.CO operates within a legally sound, on-chain ecosystem as a **Wyoming DUNA**, ensuring:

- **On-Chain Entity Creation** – Instant formation of **Series LLCs**, recorded immutably on the blockchain.
- **Aged Shelf Companies** – Facilitating access to corporate histories that enhance credibility and financial flexibility.
- **Decentralized Corporate Personhood** – The next iteration of legal personhood, balancing smart contract autonomy with legal recognition.
- **DAO-Enabled Governance** – Transparent, auditable governance models ensuring member participation in key decisions.

### **Article III: Membership and Proof-of-Burn Mechanism**

SHLF.CO shall consist of 100 core founding members, established via a **proof-of-burn mechanism** of **SHLFCO tokens**.

- **Proof-of-Burn Entry Requirement**: Individuals seeking to become founding members must **burn a designated amount of SHLFCO tokens**, proving their commitment to SHLF.CO’s vision and ecosystem.
- **Voting Rights and Governance**: Each founding member shall receive proportional governance rights as recorded on **distributed ledger technology (DLT)**, ensuring **transparent decision-making** aligned with Wyoming’s **DUNA legal framework**.
- **Ongoing Membership Requirements**: Membership may be transferrable or subject to governance-defined conditions, ensuring continued engagement and alignment with SHLF.CO’s mission.

### **Article IV: Treasury and Digital Assets**

The SHLF.CO treasury is the backbone of its sustainability and governance. Its assets include:

- **Top-level domain assets**: .fi, .co, .company—symbolizing our role in the global digital economy.
- **2.5% of the total supply of SHLF tokens**, ensuring long-term alignment of incentives between governance, development, and community growth.

### **Article V: Governance and Autonomy**

SHLF.CO is governed by its members through a **Wyoming DUNA-compliant decentralized framework**. Smart contracts mediate corporate governance, ensuring:

- **Immutable Rules** – Transparent, enforceable regulations encoded in **smart contracts**.
- **Community-Led Decision Making** – Decentralized governance with **membership-weighted voting**.
- **Regulatory Compliance** – Structuring within **Wyoming’s Decentralized Unincorporated Nonprofit Association Act** while pioneering new regulatory standards for **on-chain entities**.
- **Utilization of Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT)** – Governance procedures, voting mechanisms, and operational protocols shall be maintained on **blockchain-based systems** to ensure full transparency and immutability.

### **Article VI: The Call to Action**

Corporate entities have long been subjugated by outdated registries, slow bureaucracies, and a lack of sovereignty. We reject these constraints. We invite founders, entrepreneurs, and visionaries to join SHLF.CO in redefining corporate structure in the age of AI and blockchain.

The future of corporate personhood is decentralized.

The future of entity formation is instant.

The future of governance is algorithmic.

The future is SHLF.CO.

**Signed,**  
**The Founding Members of SHLF.CO**
