Aragon

Polygon and Aragon have unveiled a new Multi-Threshold Smart Contract Upgrades system, designed to balance security and decentralization in web3 governance. This custom plugin, built on Aragon OSx, features different consensus thresholds and timelocks for upgrades. The majority threshold requires 7/13 approval with a 10-day delay for community voting, while the super majority threshold needs 10/13 approval for automatic execution. The system offers unified user experience, enhanced security, increased transparency, and adaptability. This open-source plugin is now available for implementation by any project using the Aragon OSx repository, without requiring forking.

Aragon, a platform for decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs), shared updates this week. They highlighted trustless tools like MorphoLabs and LidoFinance for growing DAO treasuries. Additionally, they provided a recording of a conversation with Joseph from Open Dollar. Aragon is also hiring for a Senior Frontend Engineer position.

The Aragon App has introduced a new 'dApp Connect' feature that allows DAOs and multisig wallets to directly interact with decentralized applications (dApps) like Lido Finance, Morpho Labs, and Cow Swap. This integration enables DAOs to stake assets, earn yield on their treasury, and swap tokens without leaving the Aragon App interface. The process involves creating a proposal, connecting the desired dApp through WalletConnect, adding the intended actions, and waiting for DAO members to vote on the proposal. If approved, any wallet can execute the actions, and the results will be reflected in the DAO's finance page.

A new multichain governance plugin launched last year allows governance tokens from all EVM chains to be counted in a single voting census using the OFT standard developed by LayerZero_Labs. This consolidates fragmented voting rights into one place, streamlining the governance process for projects operating across multiple chains.

A job opportunity has been announced for the role of Senior Frontend Engineer (dApp Developer). The key requirement is a proven ability to deliver open source applications related to blockchain, cryptography, smart contracts, and decentralized systems. Interested candidates can apply through the provided link.

Lido Finance has announced a new on-chain vote on the Aragon platform. Aragon is a user-friendly technology stack designed for decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs). The vote aims to facilitate community participation in decision-making processes within the Lido Finance ecosystem.

Aragon has introduced several new features and updates for decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) this week. Firstly, they have onboarded 11 new DAO experts specializing in areas like audits, tokenomics, and growth. A recording of their 'State of DAO Security' event with CyfrinAudits and CertoraInc is now available. Additionally, Aragon has launched 'dApp Connect' which allows DAOs to easily connect and interact with external decentralized applications (dApps) like swapping, staking, and lending through interfaces like WalletConnect. This aims to streamline DAO treasury management and access to DeFi services. Some compatible dApps include Morpho, Lido, CoWSwap, Camelot, Aave, and Hop Protocol. Aragon also participated in events like ETHDubai and Token2049 to discuss on-chain governance.

Cyfrin Audits, a leading security firm, has announced the development of improved tools for security researchers. These new tools aim to enhance the security of decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) by enabling more thorough audits and vulnerability assessments. The company, known for its innovative approach, is committed to fostering a collaborative environment where organizations can build and launch on-chain solutions using user-friendly technology stacks designed specifically for DAOs.

An event titled 'The State of DAO Security' is scheduled to commence at 3pm UTC on 2024-04-18. The event will feature discussions with CyfrinAudits and CertoraInc, focusing on security best practices for Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs). Attendees are invited to join the event.

The Aragon Association has provided a monthly update on its ANT Redemption Initiative. As of the update, 21.53 million ANT tokens, representing 63.3% of the outstanding supply, have been redeemed through 1,434 redemptions from both ANT v1 and v2 holders. For Binance users, ANT can be withdrawn until May 20 at 03:00 UTC. ANT holders can participate in the redemption through the official ANT Redemption Portal, and assistance is available by contacting ant@aragon.org.
