@Hokra Thank you for your comment.
The Minswap DAO LLC is the DAO that governs an unincorporated protocol which is Minswap Protocol. The DAO or Labs can’t own the protocol for legal reasons and compliance with different jurisdictions, thus the protocol is open source.
For Minswap App is just an Interface which is a web or mobile-based platform that facilitates access to a decentralized unincorporated protocol on the Cardano Blockchain, which enables users to trade compatible digital assets.
The Interface is separate from the Unincorporated Protocol and is one of the methods, but not the sole means of accessing it. You can still interact with Minswap Protocol without requiring the interface, you can build a Tx based on what you need and submit it to The blockchain or use SDKs that are open source, that’s how other Apps like wallets and aggregators interact with Minswap without the app.
The unincorporated Protocol includes self-executing smart contracts deployed on the Cardano Blockchain, and Minswap Labs or Minswap DAO LLC does not control any version of the Protocol on any blockchain network. Nor Labs or DAO LLC have the ability to upgrade or change anything or withdraw assets on those smart contracts and they are a public good.
With such a structure we are keeping the DAO LLC legally and financially separate from the protocol, that DAO develop, govern, and market.
This distinction is made even more explicit thanks to the Marshall Islands DAO Act, which specifies,DAO LLCs are permitted to create open source software, which is then used by other people on a blockchain independent of the DAO LLC’s involvement.
Regarding Batcher fees with open batching coming where anyone can batch, it will be owned by the DAO and MIN holders can submit an MIP to change it, that will be reflected on the Exhibit B of the operating agreement once that happens.
