Sept 2024: Sunsetting Legacy Products
Legacy product update, Aragon Guardians now secures $70M, and we recap DAO & ETH Tokyo.
TLDR
Recent Highlights:
Legacy Product Update: We’re sunsetting Court, Voice, and Govern, while providing support for Aragon Client Migration.
Aragon Guardians are now securing $70M+ for Morpho vaults, thanks to an initiative led by Steakhouse, and adopted by LlamaRisk, Re7Capital, and MEVCapital. The fully onchain and trustless setup grants depositors veto rights, ensuring full control with no intermediaries and transparent governance in one UI.
We had a great time in Tokyo. Our CEO spoke on the current legal state of DAOs and delivered the closing keynote at DAO Tokyo. We also met a lot of passionate DAO builders at ETH Tokyo and had some interesting conversations with delegates.
What’s Next: We’ll be attending our Team Offsite in Greece next week.
Updates: In this month’s ANT Redemption Initiative update, 26.39M ANT have been redeemed, representing 77.6% of the outstanding supply, including 1,985 redemptions from both ANT v1 and v2 holders.
Recent Highlights
Legacy Product Update
Since launching the first DAO framework in 2017, Aragon has been at the forefront of advancing onchain governance. Our journey over the past seven years has provided valuable insights, leading to the development of our next-generation tech stack: Aragon OSx and Aragon App.
Consolidating our product portfolio is essential to maintaining our focus and momentum. By concentrating our efforts on the most impactful governance technology – Aragon’s DAO framework – we can continue to innovate in onchain governance and drive adoption. This is why we are making some changes to our legacy product support.
We are sunsetting front-end support for Aragon Court, Govern, and Voice on December 1, 2024.
Users with ANT activated in Aragon Court can withdraw their ANT, and users wtih ANJ activated in the first version of Aragon Court can withdraw their ANJ and convert it to ANT. All token holders can redeem ANT for ETH until November 2, 2024 in the Aragon Association’s ANT Redemption Initiative. The front ends of Aragon Court will only be deprecated after the redemption initiative has concluded.
Aragon Client will be supported until active DAOs are safely migrated to the new Aragon stack.Â
Aragon Client is the user interface for aragonOS, the industry’s first DAO framework. Thousands of DAOs, including industry leaders like Lido, Curve, and Decentraland, have been built on this framework. However, adapting and evolving these DAOs has been challenging due to the rigidity and lack of updates of the original frameworks.Â
If your DAO relies on the Aragon Client front-end, contact us to explore a migration solution. We’re not leaving anyone behind. Drop into our Discord for assistance.
