Hmm, I had a look at their blog, and I have mixed feelings. Lots of it is stupid. Lots of the titles contain spelling errors that would be embarrassing for a 14-year-old. But some of it is thoughtful and interesting, albeit basic, like this post on contract law and blockchains: https://lexdao.substack.com/p/legal-contract-formation-in-sm...

I do think there's space for some more serious and professional lawyers to think, and possibly provide some solutions, in this space. Hell, even if you think it's a scam, it would still amount to an interesting case study in how the law intersects with technology.

Yes, it would. Because "is code law" has applications way beyond "smart contracts" (which are neither smart nor contracts).

However, LexDAO is definitely ain't it. Because you either have an interesting discussion, or you cater to crypto chads. You can't have it both ways.

The article you linked does give a high level overview of some interesting points, though, so there's that :)
