Aragon Introduces Custom Proposal Types for DAOs

**Aragon and MetaLeX Labs have launched BORGs** - programmable legal entities that provide limited liability protection for onchain organizations without traditional paperwork. **Key Features:** - No-code integration with Aragon OSx - Modular design that wraps specific protocol functions, not entire projects - Multiple BORGs can run side-by-side with role updates as organizations grow **Use Cases:** - Grants committees that can legally sign agreements - Security councils for upgrades or high-risk actions - Empowering specific individuals for defined tasks **How It Works:** 1. Establish BORG with MetaLeX Labs 2. Connect via Aragon App as external address 3. Set permissions and approve - legal entity goes live BORGs isolate legal logic from core contracts, enabling organizations to add legal compliance where needed without migrations or significant overhead.
