Aragon

Aragon has deployed its comprehensive DAO toolkit on the Corn network, expanding its presence in the BTCFi ecosystem. The launch includes three key components: - **Aragon App**: A no-code interface for launching and managing onchain organizations - **Value Accrual Toolkit**: Tools for creating automated incentive systems and value distribution - **Aragon OSx**: The underlying modular protocol powering these solutions The integration enables BTCFi builders to easily manage organizations, implement governance systems, and create sustainable incentive structures. This follows Aragon's recent expansion to Optimism, demonstrating continued cross-chain development. [Start building on Aragon](https://www.aragon.org/)

Aragon hosted an intro session at DappCon Berlin for the Value Accrual Lab, focusing on onchain value capture and distribution. The full workshop series will take place on July 2 in Cannes, featuring four specialized sessions: - Value Accrual & Incentive Design by Aragon - Native Token Locker Design by Curve Finance - Growth Flywheels by Blockworks - Onchain Incentive Distribution by Trevee The workshops will cover practical implementation of ve-token systems, incentive alignment, and automated value distribution. Sessions are private with limited seats available. [Apply for the workshop](https://lu.ma/nic68ft0)

Recent discussions at ETHDam featuring our Head of Marketing @amya_wilks explored the current state and future trajectory of onchain governance. The panel addressed key challenges facing onchain organizations and proposed solutions for more effective governance models. Key points discussed: - Current barriers to organizational effectiveness - Evolution of governance frameworks - Solutions for value creation and distribution - Next-generation DAO infrastructure Industry experts @post_polar_, @gnovak_, and @DrNickA shared insights on building governance systems that enable rather than impede organizational goals.

At ETH Prague, CEO A. Leutenegger delivered a comprehensive talk on the critical relationship between ownership, governance, and incentive structures in web3 organizations. Key points covered: - How to design effective ownership models - Creating sustainable value accrual mechanisms - Building aligned incentives for long-term success The presentation emphasized practical approaches for onchain organizations to implement smarter governance systems.

Aragon app now enables organizations to create customized proposal types for different governance needs. Key features include: - Specialized flows for treasury, grants, upgrades, and membership - Configurable voting thresholds and multi-stage approvals - Veto windows and timelocks - Role-based permissions The modular system allows organizations to implement tailored governance without coding. Each proposal type can have unique parameters and workflows, moving beyond one-size-fits-all solutions. *Try it now at* [app.aragon.org](https://app.aragon.org)

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 Currently managing $35B+ in assets across 10,000+ organizations.

Aragon has launched a no-code governance designer that transforms how DAOs manage their operations. The tool features: - Visual drag-and-drop interface for creating custom governance flows - Support for multiple proposal types (upgrades, treasury, grants) - Configurable multi-stage processes with roles and permissions - Customizable timelocks and approval thresholds This solution bridges the gap between simple token voting and expensive custom contracts, enabling organizations to deploy adaptable governance systems without technical complexity.

Aragon has launched tools for building onchain organizations on ZKsync through the Elastic Network. The integration offers: - **Custom governance tools** for managing proposals, treasury, and grants - **Multi-stage processes** with approval/veto capabilities - **Role-based permissions** for stakeholder management The Value Accrual Toolkit includes: - *veLocker*: Staking system for long-term engagement - *Gauges Plugin*: Automated resource distribution Organizations can now build scalable infrastructure without traditional overhead or complexity.
