Aragon

Aragon has long stood at the forefront of the DAO movement, offering an all-in-one solution that makes decentralized governance both accessible and powerful. The core of Aragon's system is Aragon OSx, a smart contract framework built on Ethereum that allows developers to isolate and customize governance logic through modular plugins. This design removes the limitations of monolithic frameworks, empowering organizations to define rules that match their unique values and operational needs.

The recently launched Aragon App brings these capabilities to non-technical users through a sleek, no-code platform. In just a few clicks, users can launch a DAO, mint a governance token, configure proposal flows, and deploy a fully functioning governance system—all secured by the same open-source contracts that power DAOs like Lido, Polygon, and Taiko.

With over seven years of research, development, and field testing, Aragon has earned a reputation for security and flexibility. All components of the stack—including Aragon OSx—have undergone rigorous audits by firms such as Halborn and code4rena. The result is a battle-tested infrastructure that not only safeguards your assets, but also evolves alongside your organization. Governance logic can be upgraded via secure proposal flows, permissions can be refined at granular levels, and multiple stakeholder groups can participate in different stages of governance using advanced tools like gauges, veLockers, and veto systems.

Whether you need a full-stack DAO deployment, custom tokenomics, or an integrated governance UI, Aragon offers everything needed to launch a resilient, adaptable, and community-aligned onchain organization.

Aragon provides an extensive suite of features and benefits that set it apart as a leader in DAO infrastructure:

• No-Code DAO Launcher: Deploy your DAO, mint tokens, and launch governance flows—all from a web interface without writing any code.
• Modular Governance Framework: Use Aragon OSx to implement or upgrade governance logic through plugins for maximum flexibility and security.
• Granular Permissions: Fine-tune access and authority by assigning parameterized permissions to roles, members, or plugins.
• Staged Proposal Flows: Design multi-step governance processes with checks and balances across stakeholder groups.
• Tokenomics Toolkit: Leverage tools like veLockers and gauge voting to incentivize participation and improve token value accrual.
• Secure by Design: Built with open-source, audit-ready code that has secured billions in TVL since 2017.
• Cross-Chain Compatibility: Govern assets and permissions across EVM-compatible chains from a single DAO.
• Custom Services: Get tailor-made contracts, UI, and governance systems designed by the Aragon team to fit your protocol’s needs.
