This thesis examines the emergence of technologically innovative organizations that, due to the development of blockchain technology in conjunction with smart contracts, operate autonomously in a decentralized interconnected network, with multinational scale and market access, and thus provide a conceptual framework for the development of more optimal business models and structures. By presenting the advantages, combined with additional reasons for regulating decentralized autonomous organizations, we assume and conclude that it is not appropriate for such innovative organizations to operate in an unregulated manner. At the same time, the paper highlights the problem of establishing an optimal regulatory framework, with a view to avoiding the excessive centralization of technological systems whose conceptual design is based precisely on decentralized functioning, and with a view to designing a regulatory framework that is as compatible as possible with the existing technological structures, and as such will also allow for the further (regulated) development of innovations. To this end, the paper provides a comparative law perspective on the reasons and guidance for the adoption of such a regulatory framework and illustrates the possibility of analogical application of traditional law (also in the Slovenian legal order).
