Aragon has released a tokenomics infrastructure stack that enables protocols to deploy ve-lockers, gauges, and capital routing mechanisms. The modular system aims to convert token emissions into measurable value accrual. **Key components:** - **ve-lockers**: Allow token holders to lock assets for time-weighted voting power - **Gauges**: Enable veToken holders to vote on directing emissions - **Capital routing**: Automates treasury spending and resource allocation The framework integrates with Aragon's governance tools, allowing protocols to align incentives and track outcomes onchain. The system is designed for both early-stage and established protocols. Learn more: [Aragon Tokenomics](https://www.aragon.org/tokenomics)

Aragon is addressing a critical issue in crypto: **tokenholders lack enforceable legal rights**. The company is developing solutions to give token investors clear, verifiable ownership rights. **Key developments:** - Building a Token Ownership Index to provide transparent information about tokenholder rights - Focus on what's actually enforceable onchain, not just promises - 2026 roadmap centers on making crypto-native tokens investable through ownership, automation, and value accrual The initiative responds to a fundamental problem highlighted by industry observers: many tokenholders believe they have rights that simply don't exist in any legal framework. Aragon aims to bridge this gap by creating verifiable, onchain ownership structures.

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 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** 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.
