Aragon published its latest product digest covering major developments from last month focused on enhancing organizational governance tools.
Key Features Highlighted:
- Private voting integration with zkMACI for confidential onchain decision-making
- Permissions-based access control allowing precise function-level permissions without coding
- Improved app experience with cleaner user flows
These updates represent three months of major launches building toward a modular system for running organizations entirely onchain. The private voting feature addresses issues like bribery, retaliation, and whale pressure that have historically skewed governance outcomes.
The permissions system enables organizations to grant specific governance processes exactly the functions they need through a simple interface, eliminating the need for Solidity knowledge or contract redeployments.
Private voting is now part of the Aragon stack. Demo-ready today, rolling out first via bespoke builds. Transparency where it matters. Privacy where it’s critical. Learn how private, zk-verified voting is becoming reality with Aragon × @zkMACI ↴ blog.aragon.org/private-onchai…
Permissions-Based Access Control is live in the Aragon App! Grant each governance process exactly the functions it needs. No Solidity, no redeploys, just clicks.
This Week at Aragon 🦅 🗳️ Private voting with @zkMACI 🔏 Permissions-Based Access Control in the Aragon app 🎙️ @A_Leutenegger on @gov_futures
Three months, three major launches. Every new feature plugging straight into the stack: → Private voting → Permissions-based Access Control → External addresses The result? A modular system for running orgs entirely onchain.
Most tools force orgs into a single “all-powerful” contract. Aragon’s modular stack flips that script: → Split powers across councils, votes, and roles → Configure without code → Evolve over time, without starting over Governance, built to adapt: aragon.org
From private voting with @zkMACI to permissions-based access control and a cleaner app experience, last month was about unlocking the full power of OSx for the orgs building tomorrow’s world. Catch up on everything new in the latest product digest: blog.aragon.org/product-digest…
Aragon Tackles Token Ownership Rights Gap
Aragon is developing solutions to address a critical gap in crypto: **tokenholders lack legally enforceable rights**. The company is building a Token Ownership Index to provide investors with clear, verifiable information about their actual rights as tokenholders. **Key focus areas for 2026:** - Establishing genuine ownership structures - Implementing automation capabilities - Creating mechanisms for value accrual The initiative responds to growing concerns that token ownership often exists in a legal gray area, with holders having unclear or non-existent rights despite their investments. Aragon's approach emphasizes **onchain enforceability** rather than relying solely on off-chain legal frameworks. The project aims to make crypto-native tokens more investable by bridging the gap between technical token possession and actual ownership rights. More details on Aragon's implementation are expected soon. [Read the full analysis](https://mail.blockworks.com/p/legal-rights-require-a-legal-identity)
Pendle AIM Showcases Real Token Ownership Model
Pendle's AIM system demonstrates practical token ownership through three key features: - **Verifiable value flows** that can be tracked and confirmed - **Durable economic rules** providing long-term stability - **Reduced governance overhead** streamlining decision-making The model will be featured in the upcoming Ownership Token Index, which aims to identify projects with genuine token utility. This follows a broader industry shift toward tokens that offer clear, verifiable rights rather than speculative value. The Index will highlight projects demonstrating measurable ownership characteristics.
Aragon Launches Tokenomics Stack for Sustainable Value Creation

Aragon has introduced a **tokenomics stack** designed to help organizations convert token emissions and treasury spending into sustainable value. The framework combines automation tools with strategic guidance to optimize token economics. Key features include: - Integration of ve (vote-escrowed) tokens and gauge systems - Network incentive alignment mechanisms - Value accrual toolkit for long-term sustainability The platform aims to address common challenges in token design by providing practical primitives for organizations building onchain. Aragon's approach focuses on transforming typical token distribution models into systems that create lasting value rather than short-term incentives.

Aragon Partners with Generic Money for Onchain Yield Generation
Aragon has announced a partnership with Generic Money to enable networks to generate onchain yield for ecosystem development. **Key Points:** - Generic Money's neutral stablecoin infrastructure integrates with Aragon's value accrual primitives - The collaboration aims to help web3 projects capture and distribute more value - Partnership builds on Aragon's existing multi-chain presence across Ethereum, Polygon, Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, zkSync, BNB Chain, and Peaq The integration allows organizations using Aragon's governance and tokenomics tools to direct generated yield toward ecosystem growth initiatives.
Status L2 Alpha Drop: Aragon Pre-Deposit Vault Details Coming Wednesday
**Status L2** is hosting a Twitter Spaces session next Wednesday to reveal details about their **gasless network bootstrap strategy**. The session will focus on how **Aragon-powered pre-deposit vaults** are being used to launch the network. These vaults allow users to: - Contribute liquidity before mainnet launch - Stake assets and earn Karma tokens - Help bootstrap network from day one **Key Status L2 features:** - Gasless user experience - Shared-yield model instead of sequencer fees - Native privacy layer with shielded assets - Karma token for governance and gas-free transactions The pre-deposit vaults are built on **Aragon OSx** and deployed on Ethereum L1 and Linea, creating a foundation for the network's liquidity and governance systems. [Join the Twitter Spaces](https://x.com/i/spaces/1mrGmBRaOmNJy?s=20) to learn the implementation details.
