Aug 2024: Aragon is live on ZKsync
Aragon DAOs can now deploy on ZKsync, RE7 and LlamaRisk set up Aragon Guardians for their MetaMorpho vaults, and we recap ETH CC!
TLDR
Recent Highlights:
Aragon OSx and App are live on the Elastic Chain, ZKsync enabling enhanced UX, low-cost voting, and enhanced security for DAOs.
We welcomed RE7 and LlamaRisk’s MetaMorpho vaults to onchain governance. The Aragon guardian setup means that no single entity has control over the vaults, reducing the risk of centralized points of failure and increasing user confidence in the vault’s security. Aragon Guardians are the fastest to activate, have no trusted intermediaries, one UI for governance, and fully transparent actions. Get in touch to learn more about this governance solution.
We had a great time at ETH CC where we met a lot of passionate DAO builders, hosted a breakfast to discuss modular governance, and partnered with ENS for swag.
What’s Next: We’ll be at DAO Tokyo on Aug. 21-22 but the team will be around the city for the whole week if you’d like to meet!
Updates: In this month’s ANT Redemption Initiative update, 26.03M ANT have been redeemed, representing 76.5% of the outstanding supply, including 1,920 redemptions from both ANT v1 and v2 holders.
Recent Highlights
Aragon OSx and App are Live on ZKsync
The Aragon tech stack is now live on ZKsync. Any project in the ZKsync ecosystem can launch a DAO on the Aragon App and govern their protocols and assets onchain. Projects can also explore custom governance solutions on Aragon OSx, tapping into the potential of native account abstraction to enhance the voter experience.
Governance Benefits
Enhanced User Experience: Intuitive, seamless, and familiar user experience can go a long way to improve participation in a DAO. The Elastic Chain looks and feels like a single blockchain from the user’s perspective, with easy onboarding and free liquidity access across any smart contract on any ZK Chain.
Low-Cost Voting: Low voting costs are critical to voter participation. Voting costs are low – at just 1 cent per vote – and the system can scale without affecting the cost of transactions. ZKsync’s native account abstraction unlocks the possibility for DAOs to subsidize the gas cost of votes entirely.
Robust Security: When governing protocols and assets onchain, security is the highest priority. ZKsync inherits the security of Ethereum now and into the future, forming a network that can scale horizontally without compromising on the core properties that secure the network.
Get Started
No-Code DAO: Launch a simple no-code DAO on the Aragon App.
Custom Builds: Inquire about a full-stack custom DAO built by our team.
