Hi Uday! For a Blockchain Company, the Memorandum of Association (MOA) and Articles of Association (AOA) are similar to those of any other tech startup/company but should be tailored to include the specific business activities related to blockchain technology.
Key points for MOA and AOA of a Blockchain Company: 1. Memorandum of Association (MOA): Name Clause: Company name. Registered Office Clause: Address of registered office. Objects Clause: This should clearly state the business activities related to blockchain such as: Developing, designing, and marketing blockchain software solutions and platforms. Providing blockchain-based services including smart contracts, decentralized applications (DApps), cryptocurrency transactions, and digital ledger services. Research and development in blockchain, cryptocurrency, distributed ledger technology (DLT), and related fields. Any other IT/software services, consultancy, and training related to blockchain technology. Liability Clause: Whether limited by shares or guarantee. Capital Clause: Authorized capital of the company. 2. Articles of Association (AOA): Standard governance rules for company management. Shareholder rights and responsibilities. Board of Directors' powers and procedures. Rules for meetings, voting, dividend distribution, etc. Specific clauses related to issuance of shares or tokens (if planned). Confidentiality and IP protection clauses related to blockchain tech. Where to get templates: You can use standard MOA & AOA templates for Private Limited Companies available on MCA or legal websites. Customize the Objects Clause as per blockchain business. You may also consult a company secretary or legal advisor for drafting customized MOA/AOA.
