Aragon Launches Monthly Product Digest with Multi-Chain Support

**zkMACI private voting technology** is gaining significant traction in the blockchain governance space. - Vitalik Buterin is actively supporting the development of this critical infrastructure - The technology enables **transparent governance with private ballot casting** - Aragon has integrated private voting into their DAO stack, making it demo-ready This represents a major step forward for **decentralized governance**, addressing the long-standing challenge of maintaining voter privacy while ensuring verifiable results. The collaboration between key Ethereum figures and established DAO platforms signals growing adoption of zero-knowledge voting solutions.

Aragon introduced the **Capital Distributor**, new infrastructure that automates onchain incentive distribution. The Boundless airdrop became the first live implementation of this system. **Key capabilities:** - Automates staking rewards for lockers and LPs - Handles governance incentives for voters and delegates - Manages ecosystem funding for integrations - Processes liquidity mining emissions The system replaces manual, error-prone distribution methods with **automated and trustless** processes. Once deployed, protocols can step back while communities receive guaranteed rewards. **Core components:** - **Strategies** - determine claim amounts - **Action Encoders** - define claim actions Both modules can be mixed, matched, or extended with minimal code changes. This infrastructure addresses the limitations of traditional Merkle distributors, which require constant updates and carry centralized risks. The Capital Distributor makes distribution automatic, trustless, and extensible. While Boundless pioneered the launch, the system is designed for any protocol needing to distribute capital onchain.
