SecureSECO launched a custom DAO on Aragon OSx and explain why they chose do so in their documentation. Learn more about the considerations behind building a custom DAO and choosing Aragon OSx in this week’s highlight or on our blog.
ETH global hackathon winners are announced: DAOscord & Symbiotic Bonding Curve. DAOscord leveraged the Aragon SDK to enable DAO creation, proposal creation, getting DAO members, and voting all within Discord as a bot. Symbiotic Bonding Curve built a financial plugin enabling DAOs to hold their treasury assets, while still returning yield off of them, through investment strategy & implementation.
Fracton Ventures hosted DAO Camp in Fukuoka, bringing together enthusiasts from DAO beginners to local government employees. Together, they launched a DAO on the Aragon App!
Why Build a Custom DAO on Aragon OSx
Aragon OSx is a modular, adaptable DAO framework built to enable the organizations of the future. Launched in March 2023, there is already a thriving developer ecosystem building on top of the protocol.
SecureSECO is a research organization that recently built their own custom DAO on Aragon OSx. In their documentation they shared a bit about why they chose to build on Aragon OSx over other DAO frameworks.
Reduced Complexity
The SecureSECO team wanted a simple solution and a DAO framework they could trust. The simpler a protocol, the easier to use, ergo the more secure it is.
Aragon OSx DAOs consist of the following three main pieces:
The DAO contract: where the core functionality of the protocol lies.
The Permission Manager: part of the DAO contract and the center of our protocol architecture.
Plugins: any custom functionality can be added or removed through plugins, allowing you to fully customize your DAO.
Custom Functionality
You customize your DAO through plugins, which you can think of like apps you install and uninstall on your computer.
Dedicated Team
The dedicated team behind the code base—our Product Guild—was another major reason the SecureSECO team chose Aragon. We have a dedicated team consistently shipping updates and maintaining the code base, which means your team doesn’t have to worry about vulnerabilities, forking, or other complexities that come with working with code that isn’t being actively maintained by a single team.
Security Standards
Aragon OSx has been audited by industry-leader Halborn. We also did a Code4rena contest, where whitehat hackers tested their skills to find bugs in the code.
Aragon OSx was built with security at the forefront. We built it slowly and methodically, making sure security was the first and last consideration. And our code has been open-source from day one, so you can dive in on Github.
Active Community
There’s an active community of developers working on plugins, dApps, and custom DAOs on top of Aragon OSx. You can see some of their projects here.
Multiple Networks
The SecureSECO team valued that we have multiple networks and testnets on OSx.
Ethereum and Polygon are options for building your DAO, with the test networks Goerli and Mumbai.
We love to see the creative ways different projects leverage the flexibility of Aragon OSx, and can’t wait to see what you build!

Network Highlights
Fracton Ventures, an organization dedicated to the growth of Web 3 and the DAO ecosystem in Japan hosted a DAO Camp in Fukuoka last weekend. 🇯🇵
Aside from curious DAO beginners, the event was also attended by a few city government employees— together they all learned how to launch a DAO on the Aragon App.
Giveth highlighted us as part of their Quadratic Forces. We can’t wait to see the impact of these public goods out in the world!
Messari fired their intern for forgetting to mention us in their latest Base rundown.
We also had a lot of great submissions for our Gnosis Pay contest! 🦉💳
Stay tuned and you might be able to get your own Aragon Gnosis Pay card for your DAO. 👀
