Aragon Launches Value Accrual Toolkit with veTokens and Gauges
🔒 Governance Gets Superpowers
Aragon has introduced its Value Accrual Toolkit, featuring two key components:
- veLocker System: Implements time-weighted voting power through token locking, encouraging long-term commitment
- Gauges: Enables token holders to direct capital allocation and emissions through voting
The toolkit aims to bridge the gap between governance and value creation in onchain organizations. Key features include:
- Customizable lock durations and voting power
- Resource allocation across predefined categories
- KPI-based payouts and bribe markets
- Analytics and optimization tools
