公司法与去中心化自治组织:历史回顾、理性反思与制度建构

Company Law and Decentralized Autonomous Organization: Historical Review, Rational Reflection and Legal Construction

回顾历史,早在区块链技术出现之前,包括公司在内的商事组织就已经开始经历去中心化历程。去中心化绝非区块链的专利、去中心化自治组织也并非公司法从未遭遇过的调整对象。对去中心化自治组织所依托的底层技术架构、无法回避的组织根本要素“人”进行理性反思,该组织亦面临着不同程度的再中心化问题,认为公司法对其内外部运行毫无助益的论断显得有失偏颇。在去中心化自治组织大发展的浪潮中,公司法只需找准定位,以不窒碍创新为基本原则,从回应去中心化自治组织的混合性特征、尊重其特殊共识形成机制、准确把握其信义义务承担对象三个方面进行适应性改革,即可以促成去中心化自治组织与传统中心化公司的和谐共处。

Reviewing the history,business organizations including companies had gone through the decentralization phrase long before the advent of block chain technology.Decentralization is not the patent of block chain technology.And Decentralized Autonomous Organization is not the adjustment object that Company Law had never regulated.Moreover,reflecting on the underlying technology architecture that Decentralized Autonomous Organization relies on and the fundamental element,“people”,the organization also has a re-centralization problem of varying degrees.So it is unfair to say that company law can do nothing to the organization’s internal and external operation.With the development of the organization,company law only needs precise target.Under the principle of boosting innovation,it also should make adaptive reforms from three aspects,including responding to the hybrid characteristic of Decentralized Autonomous Organization,respecting the special consensus mechanism,and correctly understanding the object shouldering fiduciary duties,thus achieving the harmonious coexistence between the organization and traditional centralization companies.
