Gabriel Shapiro, transitioning from law to crypto, integrates legal frameworks with smart contracts to revolutionize crypto governance through automation and decentralization.
His 'Token Safe Harbor' proposal provides a legal grace period for crypto projects before being categorized as securities.
Shapiro founded MetaLeX to merge legal contracts with smart contracts, introducing concepts like 'cybernetic law' to automate law similar to coding.
His work focuses on advancing DAOs and tokens, engaging directly with the SEC and advocating for redefining decentralization beyond node and token count to limit centralized control, all while maintaining a sense of humor and innovating in the crypto-law space.
