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 to learn the implementation details.​

Aragon Launches on Hemi Network Bringing Bitcoin Security to DAO Governance

Aragon has deployed on Hemi Network, a platform combining Bitcoin's security with Ethereum's programmability. The integration enables DAOs to implement: - Granular permission controls - Staged approval processes - Timelocks and veto mechanisms This launch addresses growing institutional demand for robust access control as more capital moves onchain. The Hemi Network architecture allows organizations to leverage Bitcoin's security model while maintaining the flexibility of Ethereum-based smart contracts. Aragon's governance infrastructure now supports organizations requiring enterprise-grade security frameworks for treasury management and decision-making processes.

Aragon Launches ENS-Native Onchain Profiles for DAO Governance

Aragon has introduced **onchain profiles** for council members, multisig signers, and delegates, built natively with ENS (Ethereum Name Service). **Key features:** - Users control their privacy - profiles only display information published via ENS - Maintains anonymity or pseudonymity while enabling transparency - Improves operational security hygiene - Makes approval flows easier to track across governance processes - Built on open infrastructure for **cross-app portability** The system allows DAO participants to publish delegate statements and governance information directly through their ENS names. Because profiles are stored onchain and use open standards, they remain accessible across different applications rather than being locked into Aragon's platform. This approach addresses a common challenge in DAO governance: balancing transparency with privacy while maintaining consistent identity across multiple platforms.

Aragon Launches Token Evaluation Dashboard for Fundamental Analysis

Aragon has released a new dashboard designed to help investors assess tokens based on fundamental metrics rather than speculation. **Key Features:** - Enables evaluation of token ownership structures - Focuses on fundamental analysis over hype - Free to access and use The tool is available at [otf.aragon.org](http://otf.aragon.org) and aims to bring more transparency to token investment decisions. While Aragon emphasizes this is not investment advice, the dashboard provides data-driven insights for those looking to make informed decisions in the crypto space.

Aragon Launches Tokenomics Stack for Protocol Value Accrual

Aragon Launches Tokenomics Stack for Protocol Value Accrual

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 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.
