Recent Highlights
Gasless Voting, Onchain is here
We’re thrilled to announce a transformative update for Mainnet DAOs—introducing gasless onchain voting. This milestone marks a significant leap forward for onchain governance, enabling DAOs to offer a crosschain, secure, and free voting experience for members.
Mainnet DAO participants can now cast votes for free with the latest update to our Multichain Governance plugin. This iteration integrates LayerZero V2 to aggregate votes on the voting chain, which are then relayed and compiled on the home chain.
It also leverages ZKsync’s native account abstraction and txSync’s Tsuko paymaster functionality, subsidizing voting gas costs for DAO members. The plugin is bridge, chain, and paymaster agnostic. DAOs can integrate the solutions of their choice.
Our multichain governance plugin is bridge, chain, and paymaster agnostic. The recent update allows DAO members to bridge and vote on L2s for little or no cost by integrating a paymaster service. It seamlessly connects multiple DAO deployments across chains and executes crosschain transactions securely and trustlessly from the execution DAO, which retains full control via Aragon OSx’s permission management system.
What’s Next
Aragon at DevCon
The team will be at DevCon this November so stay tuned for side event announcements, speaking schedules, and more!
