Get inspiration from DAOs being launched on the Aragon App, guidelines for Financial Proposals up for vote, Aragon ZK team private voting design ready to receive feedback
Top 3
We’re seeing a wide variety of DAOs being built on the new stack. We shared 10 ideas of DAOs to build on the Aragon App, taking inspiration from many of the DAOs that are already live! Check out some of the ideas in the weekly highlight below.
The Guidelines for Financial Proposals vote is live in the Aragon DAO. These guidelines were put forward by the Eagle Operations guild. They aim to provide more detailed guidelines DAO members can use to make or review financial proposals and establish a financial strategy for the Aragon DAO treasury. This proposal was discussed on the forum in March.
The Aragon Zero Knowledge Research guild (AZKR) shared a progress update on their project to build private voting for Nouns DAO. The design is ready to receive feedback!
DAO ideas to build on the new Aragon App
The new Aragon App is the simple, fast way to launch your DAO onchain. While the possibilities of the types of DAOs you can build are limitless, let’s explore 10 ideas for DAOs you can build on the new Aragon App today!
Governance of an onchain game
You could use the Aragon App to build governance of an onchain game so token holders can make decisions over the direction of the game, where funding is distributed, when new tokens are minted or addresses are added, and more.
Imagine a game where the most active players get to decide what the next features of the game are. Or, the active players could be allotted a portion of all the game’s earnings, which they can then use for public outreach, development of more game features, event planning, merchandise, NFT drops, or more. When you have an active and engaged community, the possibilities are truly endless!
Example: CubeDAO
Sports DAO
Sports DAOs are ways for people to come together to organize events, manage and purchase memorabilia, and connect over their shared interest.
A sports DAO built on the Aragon App could come in many iterations. It could be:
A group that decides to buy a sports venue, like LinksDAO buying a golf course.
A group that is passionate about a team or sport, like KrauseHouse with basketball.
A group that wants to run and manage a team, like WAGMI United with football/American soccer.
Example: Pickleball Japan
Fundraising DAO for a local project
DAOs can be effective at raising funds for a cause at near lightning speed. Whether it’s for social action, climate change, or a local community project, you can use the Aragon App to build a DAO that makes it easy for contributors to add funds.
Your DAO treasury is managed transparently on the App, so members can see where funds are going. This helps build trust and inspire more members to participate! And when it’s time to distribute those funds, you can issue tokens to members so they can vote on where to direct them. This is much simpler and more transparent than a traditional charity, because everyone has visibility over where funds are being distributed and when.
Example: Transitional housing in San Francisco Bay area
