Legal mappings across jurisdictions
cyberCORPs treats entity type and jurisdiction as configuration. The same contract primitives serve a Delaware C-corp, a Delaware LLC, a Cayman SPC, a BVI fund, and an English company. The mappings below show what each field on a cyberCERT or cyberCORP means under each regime.
Delaware C-corp (the worked example)
Onchain register
DGCL §224 (books and records in any form)
Authorized share counts
DGCL §151 (classes / series)
cyberSCRIP
DGCL §155 (scrip authority)
Cert metadata (holder, units, class, signatures)
DGCL §158 (share-certificate requirements)
Restrictive legends
DGCL §202
Stockholder list rights
DGCL §219 (the register is the list)
The entity's certificate of incorporation and bylaws designate the onchain contract system as authoritative.
Delaware LLC
The operating agreement designates the onchain register as authoritative. Delaware LLC law gives operating agreements broad latitude to define member-interest accounting; there is no "§224 analogue" needed.
Membership interests use the same
ShareExtension(configured per the LLC's class structure).Cert fields map to whatever the operating agreement requires for each membership-interest entry.
Cayman LLC / SPC
The constitutional documents (M&AA, LLC agreement) designate the onchain register as authoritative. Cayman LLC and SPC statutes accommodate this contractually.
SPC structures use
MetaDAOFactory(or a custom factory) to model segregated portfolios as logical sub-entities sharing the same parent cyberCORP.
BVI fund / company
Articles of association or the fund's constitutional documents anchor the onchain register.
Cert fields map to the BVI Business Companies Act 2004 share-register requirements, or to the fund's constitutional analogues.
English company
Articles of association designate the onchain register as authoritative.
Cert fields map to the Companies Act 2006 §113 register-of-members requirements.
Note that uncertificated shares in CREST are a separate regime; the cyberCORP register is the register for purposes of the constitutional documents.
Funds (LP / LLC / fund interests)
The partnership agreement / fund LPA designates the onchain register as authoritative.
Capital commitments, calls, and distributions can be modelled using the existing primitives (cyberCERT for the LP unit, cyberSCRIP for tradable fund interest,
DealManagerfor capital calls).
The common substrate
Under every regime, two things must be true for the protocol to apply:
The governing law permits the entity's constitutional documents to designate an external record-keeping system as authoritative.
The constitutional documents in fact do so, and identify the cyberCORP contract suite (by addresses or by registry reference).
Most developed corporate, LLC, partnership, and fund regimes satisfy (1). The second is a drafting task, addressed by MetaLeX's template library.
