The Aragon bounty for Eth Global Paris is live! Topic: Use Aragon OSx to solve a problem in your local community. From the post: “Corruption, climate change, terrorism - these are threats the world must solve together. And yet building together often requires trust among strangers and can lead to centralization of power.” $5,000 will be awarded to the winner.
How to import existing tokens into your DAO
You can now import existing ERC-20 tokens into your DAO on the Aragon App without writing any code!
What this means:
Migration made easy: Any existing DAO with an ERC-20 token can import their token and migrate governance to the Aragon App in just a few clicks.
Same token, different DAO: You can also create subDAOs with an existing token. If you already have a token-based DAO on the Aragon App, you can use that same token in a new DAO. Just paste in the token's contract address (you can find this on a block explorer). Minting permissions won’t be transferred to the subDAO, so no trust is required.
Wrap tokens that follow different standards: Tokens in the Aragon App follow the ERC20Votes Standard. If your token doesn’t follow this standard, it can still be used in governance—it will just need to be wrapped. Members can do this by clicking “Join the DAO” from the DAO Dashboard or clicking the Community tab and the “Join the DAO” button.
Unwrap at any time: Your DAO members can wrap and unwrap tokens at any time, preserving their right to exit, always.

Use Aragon OSx to solve a problem in your local community
Excerpt from the bounty description:
“Like many other projects in the ecosystem, Aragon came out of the need to solve some of the world's largest issues. Corruption, climate change, terrorism - these are threats the world must solve together . . . Through this prize, we want to see teams use crypto to solve a pressing issue within your communities - be it the oversight of a property or public good (like a park or a school), the incentive of certain collective behaviors (like using tokens for rewards and voting power), the management of assets for a specific mission, or any other idea that comes to mind!”
