General Terms & Conditions
Welcome to www.joincommonwealth.xyz, a website (“Site”) provided by Metamasters DAO Corp. (“Metamaster”, “We”, “Our”, or “Us” as well as “we”, “our” or “us”), a company incorporated with limited liability in the Republic of Panama, registered in the Panamanian Commercial register in sheet with number 1557220242.
Matemasters is part, and has to be put in the context, of Common Wealth, a broader and structured decentralized autonomous system (“DAS”) aimed at enhancing the re-appropriation of values by individuals and investors according to the web 3.0 and the crypto ethos by substituting updated governance models with a system based on compliance with rules established in the automated processes and manages by software written and deployed in the blockchain. We also encourage You to carefully read the Common Wealth Whitepaper (the “Whitepaper”), available at the following link https://joincommonwealth.xyz/whitepaper.
The DAS is designed to be a self-sustaining, decentralized system but there are, of course, entities involved in DAS setup. These activities are known as “bootloader” activities (named after the program that gets a computer started). It’s important to note that “boot loader” activities are distinct from the activities of the DAS. In the case of the DAS, one of the entities responsible for the DAS boot loader activities is Metamasters DAO Corp. This Site itself can be considered to be part of the DAS.
It is important to specify that, accordingly with the decentralized logic of the DAS, amounts of monies paid by You for the use of the Common Wealth platform, as specified in this Terms or in the Whitepaper do not constitute profits or revenues of Metamaster but will only be used to pay for the maintenance of the DAS common goods (i.e. the platform, the software, etc.). In other words, Metamaster will not distribute any profit to its shareholders but will only operate to pay for the DAS products and services. When we refer in these Terms of a product or a service offered to you it has to be understood under the role that Metamaster performs as a bootloader of the DAS. The acceptance of the DAS system means the acceptance that, as decentralization ultimately means, we are not in control of many facets of the system which are automatized through smart contract and other means which limit human intervention or, to put under a different point of view, human manipulation and abuse.
This Site is provided to you (“You” or “Your” or “User” as well as “you” or “your” or “user”), subject to the following Terms & Conditions (“Terms”), as modified and updated from time to time. Metamaster and You, collectively referred to as “the Parties” or “Parties”.

14. Anti-Money Laundering
Common Wealth has an anti-money laundering (“AML”) and anti-terrorism financing (“TF”) policy (“Policy”). The scope of the Policy is to define the terms, procedures and responsible structures of Common Wealth (“Common Wealth”, “CW”, “Us”, “We”) as applied and implemented by Metamaster DAO Corp. The Policy is aimed at prohibiting and actively preventing money laundering and any activity that facilitates money laundering or the funding of terrorist or criminal activities by complying with all applicable requirements, including without limitation, KYC procedures, due diligence, monitoring, screening, etc.
Common Wealth is a broader and structured decentralized autonomous system (“DAS”) aimed at enhancing the re-appropriation of values by individuals and investors according to the web 3.0 and the crypto ethos by substituting updated governance models with a system based on compliance with rules established in the automated processes and manages by software written and deployed in the blockchain. More information about Common Wealth can be found in the Common Wealth Whitepaper available at the following link https://manifesto.joincommonwealth.xyz/.
Since Common Wealth is a DAS it lacks by default in its own DNA any hierarchal structure which can implement and supervise a compliance system like this Policy. On the other hand, We, at Common Wealth, recognize the importance of being fully compliance with every applicable law as well as, and apart from any legal obligation, to fight against money laundering and/or terrorist funding. To be decentralized does not mean to be unlawful or to not be compliant with the law. For these reasons, this Policy has been designed and is implemented, at the very least in the first phase of the common Wealth project, by Metamasters DAO Corp. (“Metamaster”) a company incorporated with limited liability in the Republic of Panama, registered in the Panamanian Commercial register in sheet with number 1557220242 which is part of the Common Wealth DAS.
This follows the idea that the DAS is designed to be a self-sustaining, decentralized system but there are, of course, entities involved in DAS setup. These activities are known as “bootloader” activities (named after the program that gets a computer started). It’s important to note that “boot loader” activities are distinct from the activities of the DAS. In the case of the DAS, one of the entities responsible for the DAS boot loader activities is Metamasters.
The Policy itself can be considered to be part of the DAS as administered and implemented by Metamasters. Every system of compliance requires and postulates that a subject has the authority, as well as the responsibility, to design and to enforce the Policy: in relation to the Policy, Metamasters has the authority and the responsibility to implement and enforce this Policy. This is not, and shall not be considered as, in contrast with the decentralization ethos since CW is a common good, “a truly circular protocol where all value accrues to the protocol and is redistributed to the community” (from the Whitepaper), and, therefore, the fact that Common Wealth delegates the authority to a third subject, i.e. Metamasters, which is part in any case of the DAS, to enforce a policy which ultimately protects and enhance itself as a common good, is perfectly compatible with the decentralization ethos.
Accordingly, every reference in this Policy to Common Wealth has to be construed as to the beneficiary of the Policy while the subject which implements it remains only Metamasters.
The Policy is mandatory for all Common Wealth Participants and Contractors, broadly defined, as well as for as for every Employees or Contractors of Metamaster and will be considered in every document/procedure related to its scope. The Policy is designed for and applied to each activity realized under, or within, the Common Wealth DAS and in particular in the activity of selecting target investments by the various CW Funds and finalizing the relative investment contracts.
15. Prohibited Activities
CW explicitly disclaims any partnership or association with entities or individuals engaged in activities related to weapons manufacturing, child pornography, human trafficking, or any other illegal or unethical conduct.
