Introducing the Ownership Token Framework & Dashboard
Aragon just dropped a new model and tool for assessing power, rights, and value in token economies.
Aragon is introducing the Ownership Token Framework and Ownership Token Dashboard, a new methodology and tool for evaluating token fundamentals through the lens of ownership.
The framework outlines an evidence-based way to assess whether a token encodes enforceable rights in a protocol across four key criteria:
Onchain control over upgrades, parameters, and capital flows
Value accrual by design
Verifiability through auditable onchain contracts
Distribution of governance power
Read the complete, opensource framework on Github here.
The Ownership Token Dashboard applies this framework to live protocols, making it possible to see, and compare, how ownership, control, and value are structured across token economies. Here’s a quick tutorial of how the framework and dashboard work in practice:
As token economies mature, ownership will increasingly shape how tokens are evaluated. The Ownership Token Framework and Dashboard exist to make that measurable.
