美國阿拉巴馬州州長凱·艾維（Kay Ivey）已簽署DUNA（去中心化非法人非營利協會，Decentralized Unincorporated Nonprofit Association）法案，使阿拉巴馬州成為繼懷俄明州之後，全美第二個賦予DAO法律地位的司法轄區。該法案規定，符合資格的DAO需至少擁有100名成員，並以非營利共同目的成立，可透過區塊鏈與智能合約開展治理，提案與投票機製可上鏈記錄；獲認可後，DAO具備完整法律主體資格，可持有財產、簽訂契約並可被起訴，同時為成員及管理者提供有限責任保護。

Governor Kay Ivey of Alabama has signed the DUNA (Decentralized Unincorporated Nonprofit Association) Act, making Alabama the second U.S. state to grant legal status to DAOs, after Wyoming. The Act stipulates that eligible DAOs must have at least 100 members and be formed for a common nonprofit purpose. They may conduct governance via blockchain and smart contracts, with proposals and voting mechanisms recorded on-chain. Once recognized, DAOs gain full legal personhood: they may hold property, enter contracts, and be sued, while members and managers receive limited liability protection.
