Legal support of Web 3.0 projects

The Internet today represents an environment where governments and giant technology corporations compete for control of information and personal user data. The World Wide Web acts as a global marketplace where the appearance of democracy is created, but in reality censorship prevails. This is confirmed by careful moderation of content and storage of information with strict issuance on demand. Web 3.0 has every chance to significantly change the current state of things in the world of digital technology, economy and business. At the same time, it is important to be able to ensure efficient and lawful conduct of business activities.

Find Out More About What Web 3.0 Is

Web 3.0 is a new stage in the development of the Internet, based on the predominance of decentralization of power and the formation of an online environment that is more user-oriented. The term combines blockchain technology, decentralized finance (DeFi) and autonomous organizations (DAOs), the metaverse, and non-fungible tokens (NFTs). It is blockchain, with its encryption, decentralization and immutable databases, that creates the foundation of the new generation Internet. It is already used in financial services, logistics, energy, healthcare, insurance and other vital areas of human activity.

In general, Web 3.0 is characterized by:

Decentralization – the system is not managed from a single point, but simultaneously by the forces of the entire community, which eliminates the possibility of concentration of power in the hands of a narrow circle of people.
Privacy – users are provided with reliable protection of data and digital content, as well as the ability to control, process and store them solely at their own discretion (and not according to the rules of global information corporations).
Openness – the priority is the use of open source code with the ability to ensure interaction between different blockchain projects and other similar technologies. This allows Web 3.0 to subsequently acquire more flexible and scalable solutions.

A common feature of all elements of Web 3.0 is the desire of users to remain less tracked and less controlled online. However, even the most ardent supporters of decentralization admit that without legal regulation of the technologies underlying Web 3, it will not be possible to ensure its successful development in the future. Jurisprudence faces new problems associated with the massive digitalization of society. Smart contracts, blockchain, peer-to-peer interaction and much more – all this requires legal support, but it goes beyond traditional norms. At the same time, ideal conditions are being created for the introduction of new business models that provide stable income. Enterprises operating in the Web 3.0 space actively use not global unified platforms, such as Google or Meta, but blockchain and other decentralizing tools.

What Opportunities Does Web 3.0 Open Up?

This is a new wave of technological innovation impacting business models and companies across many industries. Due to the flexibility of Web 3.0, businesses can ensure high competitiveness, while it is much easier to occupy industry niches. In addition, for those wishing to master business activities in the blockchain sector and other decentralized technologies, it becomes possible to:

Significant simplification and decentralization of the financial services industry – including payments, lending, and investments.
Creation of systems that simplify identification and verification of identity in the online environment.
Development of the concept of the Internet of Things, when a connection is created between various objects for data transfer and interaction with the environment. This process occurs securely, transparently and decentralized.
Tokenization of various assets – that is, fixation of property rights in the form of a cryptocurrency token in relation to real estate, securities, works of art, which helps to simplify their exchange and the active growth of investment.

Important! Web 3.0 is a key stage in the development of the Internet, opening up many opportunities and promising areas of activity for businesses and end users.

Help with Token Issuance

Receiving Payments in Cryptocurrency

Our team will help you open a bank account for cryptocurrency projects. This is a very important and quite complex process aimed at organizing the acceptance of payments from clients.

We know what nuances are important to consider in order to provide a cryptocurrency startup with the ability to receive payments in cryptocurrency.

The main requirements that banks usually put forward to cryptocurrency firms include:

Availability of a license from a prestigious jurisdiction (for example, the EU).
Availability of effective customer verification mechanisms.
Sufficient experience in the cryptosphere, etc.

Consultation on Choosing a Jurisdiction for a Web 3.0 Startup

Countries differ from each other depending on their attitude towards cryptocurrencies, which is important to consider when choosing a jurisdiction. In total, there are more than 200 states in the world with different legal systems, but, as practice shows, the majority of Web3 projects are registered in several jurisdictions:

USA – despite the hostility of the US Securities and Exchange Commission, many Web 3.0 projects, for example, blockchain scanners, DeFi interfaces, and analytical tools, are based in this country. The explanation for this is the developed financial environment, where it is easy to find a traditional bank and depository that works with crypto. In short, if financial services are an integral part of your business, then the United States may be the right choice.
Europe and Asia – You should pay attention to the countries closest to your audience. That is, if your Web 3.0 products are aimed at Asian markets, then you can choose Hong Kong or Singapore. If you are more interested in a European audience, you can choose, for example, the Netherlands, Estonia, Great Britain, Czech Republic, etc.
Offshore jurisdictions – quite often small crypto projects are incorporated in the Cayman Islands, Virgin Islands, and Panama. The reputation of some offshore companies is quite high and is recognized by the global financial community. In offshore jurisdictions, Web 3.0 projects are attracted by favorable tax regimes and less stringent registration requirements.

We will help you decide on the choice of jurisdiction, taking into account your target geographic market, the location of the main part of the team, features of product licensing, company infrastructure and other important nuances.

NFT Consulting

NFTs are non-fungible unique tokens containing metadata with URLs to images or music or videos. Using NFTs with images can raise a number of questions, such as, do you need to get permission from a third party to create an NFT with a link to the image and copyright of that same third party? Definitely yes, since the owner has the copyright to the image. Most NFT platforms emphasize in their rules the need to obtain all rights and licenses when creating an NFT.

Another question arises when it comes to selling or transferring NFTs – do buyers acquire any rights to the image? The answer is that purchasing an NFT does not give the new owner any copyright unless something like that is written into the agreement.

Important! It is extremely important to think through all the conditions for using NFTs in advance, especially if you plan to produce goods based on Web 3.

Help in Unlocking a Crypto Wallet

The desire of governments to combat fraud in the digital sphere often results in unpleasant consequences for owners of crypto wallets – blocking. Users who, according to the current legislation of a particular jurisdiction, do not have the right to use blockchain assets may encounter this problem. Another common reason for blocking crypto wallets is the support of various crypto exchanges for sanctions policies.

Unblocking an account (wallet) on a crypto exchange or other crypto service should be carried out using highly specialized knowledge, not only in the cryptosphere, but also in the field of law. First of all, it is necessary to take into account the laws of the jurisdiction to which the platform is subject and find out the reasons for blocking. To do this, you need to establish contact with technical service. Already at this stage, problems may arise in the form of a language barrier – not all users are fluent in English, in which most crypto services usually operate.

At Lawrange AA, an experienced lawyer for unlocking crypto wallets will study the user agreement, find out all the reasons for the incident with the account, contact the technical service for clarification, and also take a number of other actions to open access to your account as quickly as possible. Our specialist will help you prepare the documents necessary to resolve the problem, including payment receipts, bank details, bank statements, etc. As practice shows, a quickly assembled package of documentation significantly speeds up the process of unlocking crypto wallets.

For the normal operation of any Web 3 project, it is important to have well-written documentation:

pre-project (for example, commercial agreement, schedule, costing);
financial – contracts, additional agreements, invoices, etc.;
design – technical specifications, protocols, etc.;
internal – represented by job descriptions, orders, decisions, rules and other documents regulating the activities of the company.
