Aragon Enables Trustless Governance for Morpho Vaults
🔓 Unstoppable Vaults...

Aragon has announced that key web3 infrastructure must be underpinned by decentralized governance to be truly unstoppable. A proposal has been made for all Morpho vaults to move to a trustless setup. Aragon is encouraging users to delegate their votes in the App. Recent developments include the launch of the first vaults with trustless on-chain governance on Morpho, facilitated by Aragon in collaboration with Steakhouse Finance. Steakhouse's USDC vault has integrated Aragon's stack for their timelock, moving to a fully on-chain and trustless setup with Aragon DAOs, giving Morpho depositors control over their vaults via veto rights. Aragon highlights Steakhouse's setup as the most secure and trustless vaults on Morpho, with the fastest time to activate guardians, the longest timelock, no trusted intermediaries, one UI for governance, and fully transparent actions.
The first vaults with trustless onchain governance on @MorphoLabs are now live! Thanks @SteakhouseFi for leading this with us at @AragonProject, more to come!
.@SteakhouseFi has launched the first WBTC vault on Morpho Blue! The vault is designed to generate yield on WBTC through overcollateralized lending. This is the fourth vault curated by Steakhouse, sitting alongside their USDC, PYUSD, and USDT vaults.

Steakhouse's USDC vault is now integrating @AragonProject's stack for their timelock! So excited to see innovation happening at the metamorpho level.
Steakhouse MetaMorpho trustlessness has been achieved internally with @AragonProject We already lead the curated vaults with a 7-day timelock Now we want to iterate by removing trusted intermediaries from the guardian @MorphoLabs lenders should always be in control
Welcome @SteakhouseFi MetaMorpho vaults to onchain governance! Steakhouse vaults have accumulated over $30M by enabling access to blue chip crypto or RWA collateral. They are our industry’s top DAO finance leader, working with @MakerDAO, @LidoFinance, @MorphoLabs, and others.

Just put up an RFC for all @MorphoLabs Vault curators to consider implementing or migrating to trustless, onchain guardians on @AragonProject. Open to any questions and comments! 💙 forum.morpho.org/t/trustless-on…
By using @AragonProject, @SteakhouseFi now have the most secure & trustless vaults on @MorphoLabs with the fastest time to activate guardians, the longest timelock, 0 trusted intermediaries, 1 UI for governance, & fully transparent actions. Onchain governance winning. 🏆

🏛️ Major DeFi Protocols Launch Aragon OTF Platform
**Aragon's On-Chain Treasury Framework (OTF) is now live**, bringing together eight major DeFi protocols: - Uniswap (UNI) - Aave (AAVE) - Sky (SKY) - Ether.fi (ETHFI) - Curve Finance (CRV) - Aerodrome (AERO) - Lido Finance (LDO) - Yield Basis (YB) The platform is accessible at [otf.aragon.org](https://otf.aragon.org/) **Background**: This follows the November 2025 announcement of the Ethereum Protocol Advocacy Alliance, where Aragon partnered with Lido, Uniswap, The Graph, Curve, Spark, and Aave. The alliance collectively secures over $100 billion in assets through open, non-custodial protocols and coordinates policy efforts for core onchain infrastructure. The OTF platform provides infrastructure for decentralized organizations to manage their operations and treasuries onchain.
🔍 New Dashboard Reveals Token Value Flows and Onchain Rights
**Aragon launches the OTF (Onchain Token Framework) dashboard** to help evaluate token quality and mechanics. **Key features:** - Analyze value flows within token ecosystems - Identify which rights are enforceable onchain vs. offchain dependencies - Compare tokens based on programmatic mechanisms that accrue value The dashboard addresses a common challenge: not all tokens are built the same, and it's often difficult to verify which protocols have genuine onchain value accrual mechanisms.

Katana Network Launches Token with Staking and Governance Options
Katana Network has officially launched its **KAT token** through a Token Generation Event (TGE). The infrastructure supports a **DeFi-first blockchain** designed for: - Deep liquidity - Sustainable yield generation - Aligned incentives **Token utility options:** - Stake KAT directly - Vote using vKAT (voting tokens) - Enable autopilot mode with avKAT Users can begin staking at [app.katana.network/stake](http://app.katana.network/stake). Additional features for staked KAT are planned for the Superstake platform in the near future.
Aragon Expands Multi-Chain Migration Support for DAO Governance
Aragon now offers migration support across six major blockchain networks: Ethereum Mainnet, Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon, and zkSync. **Key Features:** - Support for ERC20Votes tokens - Safe transition of governance permissions - Assistance available for protocols planning migrations Protocols interested in exploring migration options can request assistance through [Aragon's form](http://aragon.org/get-assistance-form).
Aragon Expands Governance Toolkit with Advanced Features
Aragon has unveiled an expanded suite of governance options for DAOs and protocols: **Key Features:** - Token lockers/stakers enabling dynamic voting power - Segmented governance processes with granular access control - Multiple governance bodies, including security councils - Optimistic execution with veto capabilities - Gauge-based governance mechanisms The platform maintains core functionality familiar to Tally users, including onchain proposal creation and voting, delegate-based voting, and staking/reward systems. **Recent Implementation:** Cryptex Finance launched new governance on Aragon featuring veCTX staking, delegated voting, fast-track execution with veto, and participation rewards. Protocols can customize and adjust their governance structures during migration, offering flexibility as organizations evolve their decision-making processes.
