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.​
