Question 1

Are you a law firm?

Accepted Answer

No. ChainCounsel coordinates licensed attorneys to design and file entity structures. Engagements run through written representation agreements with the responsible attorney in your jurisdiction.

Question 2

Will you ever ask for my seed phrase?

Accepted Answer

Never. No legitimate counsel, exchange, or wallet will ever ask you to type your recovery phrase into a website. If anyone does, walk away — it's a scam.

Question 3

What does a typical engagement cost?

Accepted Answer

A Wyoming DAO LLC formation with operating agreement runs flat-fee in the low four figures. Foundation/opco splits and offshore APTs are scoped per engagement after the intake call.

Question 4

How long does formation take?

Accepted Answer

Domestic LLCs are typically filed within 3–5 business days. Offshore foundations and trusts run 2–6 weeks depending on the jurisdiction and KYC turnaround.

Question 5

Which jurisdictions do you work in?

Accepted Answer

Domestically: Wyoming, Delaware, Nevada, South Dakota. Offshore: Cayman, BVI, Panama, Cook Islands, Nevis, Marshall Islands, Switzerland, Estonia, and Singapore.

Question 6

Do you do tax planning?

Accepted Answer

No. We structure the entity so your tax counsel can do their job effectively. We work alongside your accountant or refer you to crypto-fluent CPAs we trust.

Question 7

What happens after I request a consultation?

Accepted Answer

You submit your name, email, and a short note. You verify your email with a 6-digit code. A licensed attorney reviews your situation and replies within two business days.
