Sestina - moving parts made coherent
Taking the moving parts of legal structure, compliance, business model, and tokenomics, and making them interlock into something coherent.
Sestina
is a boutique advisory firm specialising in legal structuring, regulatory compliance, business model design, and tokenomics for Web3, blockchain, and digital businesses.
We help founders and companies build defensible, compliant, and commercially robust ventures — from token architecture and DAO governance to multi-jurisdiction entity setup and business model validation.
Unlike generalist consultants or Big Four firms, we combine legal depth with strategic and economic expertise in a single integrated engagement. If your business operates at the frontier of technology and regulation, Sestina is built for you.
Token Architecture Sprint
You leave with a token that is legally defensible, economically coherent, and built to survive regulatory scrutiny — not three separate opinions from three separate advisors that don't add up. We integrate your legal structure, token economics, and business model into a single blueprint, designed from the compliance layer outward. Founders who go through the sprint stop firefighting classification risk and start building with confidence. The result is a token architecture that holds together across jurisdictions, across investor conversations, and across market conditions.
Ways we might help…
DAO Formation & Governance Design
A DAO without the right legal and governance architecture is not decentralised — it is just exposed. This engagement produces a DAO that is legally protected, governance-ready, and built so that the on-chain mechanisms and the off-chain legal reality speak the same language. Members have defined rights, the treasury has a coherent management framework, and the governance token is designed to be defensible under the regulatory frameworks that matter to your project. You launch with conviction rather than hoping the structure holds.
Business Structure & Compliance Audit
Most digital businesses outgrow their original structure long before they realise it — and the cost of that mismatch compounds quietly until a fundraise, an acquisition, or a regulatory question makes it visible and expensive. The audit gives you a clear, honest picture of how your business is built today and a prioritised roadmap for making it right. Founders who complete it know exactly where they stand, what needs to change, and in what order — so they can move forward without the structural uncertainty that slows growth and erodes enterprise value.
Strategic Advisory Retainer
The decisions that determine whether a frontier business succeeds are rarely the ones you plan for — they are the ones that arrive unexpectedly and demand a senior perspective you do not have time to brief from scratch. The retainer gives you a strategic advisor who already knows your business, follows your regulatory environment, and is available when it matters. Clients tell us that the value is not in the monthly sessions but in the 30-minute conversation that happens before a consequential decision — and prevents a mistake that would have cost ten times the retainer fee.
“Thank you so much ..., you really helped me to find the best way for my company's future. Looking forward to working with you again!”
