Aragon has introduced several new features and updates for decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) this week. Firstly, they have onboarded 11 new DAO experts specializing in areas like audits, tokenomics, and growth. A recording of their 'State of DAO Security' event with CyfrinAudits and CertoraInc is now available. Additionally, Aragon has launched 'dApp Connect' which allows DAOs to easily connect and interact with external decentralized applications (dApps) like swapping, staking, and lending through interfaces like WalletConnect. This aims to streamline DAO treasury management and access to DeFi services. Some compatible dApps include Morpho, Lido, CoWSwap, Camelot, Aave, and Hop Protocol. Aragon also participated in events like ETHDubai and Token2049 to discuss on-chain governance.
Interacting with dApps from your DAO is now easier than ever! dApp Connect enables DAOs to connect to external dApps using @WalletConnect. Add actions such as swapping, staking, and lending to proposals to manage your DAO assets with ease π§΅
