what's MetaLeX?

MetaLeX is a blockchain protocol designed to enable the onchain lifecycle of real-world entities and their securities, bridging traditional legal structures with decentralized finance. Founded by crypto lawyer Gabriel Shapiro, it aims to eliminate "decentralization theater" by providing tools for genuine DAO governance and freedom-oriented capital markets. The protocol supports features like onchain funding rounds, SAFE agreements combined with token warrants, and NFT-certificated securities with tradeability toggles, all executed without traditional intermediaries like DocuSign. Built on Ethereum, Base, and Arbitrum, MetaLeX facilitates legally compliant, fully onchain transactions for companies and investors. It includes upcoming tools such as MetaVest for vesting and LeXScrow for deal escrow, emphasizing long-term durability over short cycles. By tokenizing securities and automating legal processes, it restores DAOs as vehicles for sustainable, permissionless innovation in crypto. The project draws from cyberpunk aesthetics and usability principles, led by a team including interaction designer Vonberg, to create intuitive interfaces for complex onchain interactions. MetaLeX positions itself as infrastructure for "BORG-style" crypto governance, where decisions and capital flows are transparent and enforceable onchain.
