4. Entity & Operations
4.1 Legal Structure
Protocol Guild incorporated a Cayman Islands-based legal entity in 2024, to help scale fundraising efforts.
4.2 Finances
Protocol Guild’s legal entity currently receives 10% of vested funds (as of Feb 21, 2026 - tx link) to pay for the entity’s legal and operational costs. The funds are received by the following multisig accounts:
Mainnet
Arbitrum
Base
Optimism
Scroll
ZKsync
The entity swaps its share of vested tokens on a monthly basis to maintain a stablecoin reserve. This covers:
$200k in reserve for 2 years of fixed + variable costs incurred to operate the entity
$100k in reserve for potential claims against the foundation
Compensation for independent operations contributors
$12.5k/month to support cheeky-gorilla’s contributions
$10.5k/month to support Peter Vechiarrelli’s contributions
The entity aims to receive sufficient funding to cover the above, but not accumulate beyond that. These amounts are set by the membership, as noted in the governance subsection of the docs.
