Paris Recap: Catch up with takeaways and recordings of EthCC and EthGlobal
Recap of our week at EthCC and EthGlobal, DAO Experts AMA series, 10 ideas for financial plugins.
Top 3
The team had a productive week in Paris! Thank you to everyone who stopped by the booth, attended talks, and met with the team. Check out some of the team takeaways and the recordings of talks and workshops below.
We kicked off our DAO Experts AMA series with cohort #3, where each expert will share cutting edge insights in their area of expertise. Tune in and catch the deep dives every Friday at 3pm UTC.
To learn more about the power of Aragon OSx, its plugin architecture and all of the functionalities it can unlock for DAOs, here are 10 ideas for financial plugins.
Paris Recap: catch up with takeaways and recordings
We had a productive week in Paris attending The DAOist, EthCC, and EthGlobal!
Here are a few general takeaways of the conferences, gathered from our team:
As products launch their own app chains and L2s, the future of permission-management is cross-chain.
Account abstraction is the future, enabling better user experience across the board.
General sense of optimism that there are a number of important use cases in crypto close to being solved.
Sub-DAOs, granular permissions, and credentials are essential to scaling DAOs.
Several players are working on the problem of carbon offset tokenization. Crypto could be well placed to become the channel through which a lot of this capital is funneled.
Even deep in the bear market, major conferences like EthCC are a bright spot!
Workshop Recording: Build a Custom DAO with a Few Lines of Code
Juliette shows you how to build mutable organizations on top of an immutable blockchain using Aragon OSx. She explains how plugins allow you to customize your DAO and build a mutable organization. Plugins can be governance mechanisms, treasury management strategies, ecosystem integrations, and more.
She then gives a demo of how to build, deploy, and publish a plugin!
Talk Recording: Aragon OSx—the Unix of Ethereum
Jordi discussed how Aragon OSx is built with the Unix philosophy:
Simplicity: write programs that do one thing and do it well.
Modularity, composability: write programs that work together.
Flexibility: Allow a feature to be reused in different contexts.
In Unix, everything is a file. In OSx, everything is a permission.
Some of the guiding principles of the Unix philosophy that we applied to OSx:
One correct way of doing things: So there’s no confusion.
Be explicit about what you do: There’s no hidden magic. Everyone can use this protocol.
Only pay for features you actually use: Gas saving benefits in the modularity of this protocol.
Easy to understand, verify, and reason about: This contributes to the security of the protocol, because it’s not convoluted and complex.
Talk Recording: A Story of DAO Experimentation
Anthony takes us through the history of Aragon and the different DAO experiments we have run internally. The Aragon Network DAO was an experiment launched in 2021. It used optimistic governance with a long charter and lots of rules on the social layer. We learned a lot from this experiment, such as staying away from social and ideological battles, and refocusing solely on the onchain aspect of DAOs.
Anthony shares some steps forward for all DAOs. He touches on a huge question: what is owed to the mission, and what is owed to the token holders? He talks about how adaptation is the key to resiliency: start simple and safe, then evolve.
