Aragon Enables Trustless Governance for Morpho Vaults
π 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!
