Introducing the Capital Distributor: Automating onchain incentives
Distributing capital has been expensive, labour-intensive, full of legal uncertainty, and rife with mistakes. Today, we’re changing that. Incentives and rewards are the lifeblood of onchain ecosystems. They drive liquidity, attract builders, and align stakeholders. But distributing capital onchain has never been easy. Most projects today rely on Merkle
Designing Network-Level Token Value Accrual for Katana
Value accrual is the engine of sustainable growth for ecosystems. It aligns incentives, strengthens networks, and creates a feedback loop where usage drives value and value flows back to participants. Obvious as it may sound, most ecosystems struggle to design these systems. We at Aragon set out to change this,
BORGs Are Live: Legal Modularity for Onchain Organizations
Set up limited-liability wrappers for the wallets and roles that run your protocol. No paperwork, no slowdown. For years, decentralized organizations have been stuck in regulatory limbo. Projects that move at the speed of code often rely on opaque, off‑chain entities that slow them down and create unnecessary risk.
Product Digest #003: Private Voting, Fine-Grained Permissions, and Smoother Flows
The past month focused on further unlocking the true power of OSx for onchain organizations, with new updates across governance design, proposal creation, and UI features making it easier than ever to build exactly what your org needs. From private, encrypted voting to modular permissions and streamlined proposal creation, the
New in the Aragon App: Permissions‑Based Access Control
No-code separation of powers: grant precise, function-level permissions without writing a line of code. The ideal organization spreads decision-making so one process isn't responsible for everything. Onchain, however, most teams are forced to spin up a single, all-powerful contract (like a multisig or a DAO) to control everything. Existing governance
Product Digest #002: New chains, improved UX
Last month brought key enhancements across app UX, new chain support, and core infrastructure improvements. June closed out the quarter with continued progress toward our mission: making it easier than ever to build secure, scalable onchain organizations. The month saw a wide range of updates across Aragon OSx, the Value
Upcoming Changes In the Aragon App
From June 30,2025, the latest version of the Aragon app will replace earlier versions of the app, ensuring all builders have seamless access to top features for designing adaptable and modular governance right out of the box. A new chapter for onchain organizations Decentralization has the potential to transform
The Growth Engine: How veLockers & Gauges Drive Value Accrual
For many onchain organizations, governance and value creation have historically existed in parallel, but not in sync. Token holders vote, yes, but does that governance translate into sustainable growth, aligned incentives, or capital efficiency? Not always. Aragon’s veLocker + Gauge primitives, part of the Value Accrual Toolkit, are designed to
The Value Accrual Toolkit: Tokenomic Primitives for Network Incentive Alignment
Onchain organizations have proven their ability to attract resources at extraordinary speed and scale, creating the potential for unprecedented value creation. Realizing that potential depends on the ability to sustainably align stakeholder incentives. Most have fallen short. Onchain organizations have been relying on systems where decision-making is decoupled from economic
Aragon DAOs can Now Deploy on peaq: The Future of Decentralized Infrastructure
The future of DePIN governance is decentralized. Now, you can launch your DAO on peaq, the layer-1 powering the Machine Economy, with the modular Aragon OSx protocol, and soon on the next version of the Aragon App. We’re thrilled to announce that Aragon DAOs are now deployable on peaq,
Introducing Taiko’s Optimistic Onchain Governance
We’re excited to announce the decentralization and security-focused onchain governance design of the Taiko DAO. This milestone marks a significant step forward in Taiko’s governance roadmap to fully decentralized protocol governance. TLDR: * Optimistic governance model, where token holders have onchain veto rights; * Security Council that can efficiently and
Mode Governance Games Drive High Voter Participation
Mode became the first L2 to introduce vote escrow (ve) and gauge-based governance to its ecosystem—modernizing a long-standing governance model implemented by successful DeFi protocols. In Season 3, the Governance Games incentivized community members to stake tokens for increased voting power, directing rewards to protocols via gauges. The results
ANT Redemption Initiative Report
On November 2nd 2023, the Aragon Association (AA) announced the ANT Redemption Initiative. Over the last 12 months, all ANT Holders were given a fair and equal opportunity to redeem their ANT for ETH at a fixed rate of 0.0025376 ETH:ANT. In order to fulfil this initiative, the
Kicking off the #TeamStaking program with Dappnode
It’s time for us to do our part. We’re kicking off an internal #TeamStaking program in partnership with our long-time friends at Dappnode. Our goal is to have all Aragon contributors staking at home by making running a node accessible and fun! We’ll be using DVT and
