Corporate & legal documents
Corporate structure
Steer uses four entities to separate ecosystem governance, token administration, commercial operations, and engineering and intellectual property. Registry references are taken from the linked incorporation artifacts, which also record legal form and formation date. Operating roles are management-reported.
| Entity | Jurisdiction | Registry reference | Operating role | Artifact |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Steer Foundation | Cayman Islands | CP-418776 | Ecosystem governance, grants, and ecosystem treasury oversight | Certificate |
| Steer Digital Assets Ltd. | British Virgin Islands | 2172619 | Token lifecycle administration and reserve management | Certificate |
| Steer Labs Inc. | Panama | Mercantile Record 155722340 | Customer contracting, billing, and commercial operations | Registry certificate |
| Ciphergrid Labs PTE. LTD. | Singapore | UEN 202347858N | Engineering, security, DevOps, and core intellectual property | Certificate |
The linked artifacts establish formation and legal form as of their issue dates. Current good standing, ownership, directors, officers, and signing authority require current registry extracts and statutory records.
Intellectual property and intercompany structure

Product and regulatory materials
Steer’s legal treatment depends on the product, wrapper, entity, jurisdiction, custody model, operator discretion, distribution path, and token involvement. The regulatory folder therefore organizes review by product rather than relying on one universal characterization.

| Jurisdiction, eligibility, and KYC/KYB analysis | Restricted legal review |
| Custody, discretion, advisory, brokerage, fund, derivatives, and money-transmission analysis | Restricted legal review |
