## What it is
DARC is a company virtual machine that deploys to EVM-compatible blockchains, featuring multi-level tokens, dividend mechanisms, and a plugin system acting as on-chain law. It includes a JavaScript-like by-law scripting language that transpiles to DARC programs executed by the VM contract when approved by the plugin system.

## Use cases
- create a decentralized company with on-chain bylaws
- issue multi-level tokens like stock and convertible bonds on EVM chains
- distribute dividends to token holders automatically
- enforce company operations through plugin-based voting and law system
- write company rules in a JavaScript-like scripting language

## When to choose
- you need programmable corporate governance on EVM-compatible blockchains
- you want token classes with different voting and dividend rights
- you want operations gated by an on-chain law/plugin system

## When to avoid
- you need production-ready, audited smart contract infrastructure
- you want a simple ERC-20 token without governance complexity
- you are not deploying to EVM-compatible chains
