what's Aragon?
Aragon is a platform for creating, managing, and scaling decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) on Ethereum and other blockchains. It provides modular tools including governance frameworks, voting mechanisms, token minting, and membership management, enabling communities to operate transparently and securely onchain without intermediaries. Key components like AragonOS offer upgradeable smart contract architecture for DAOs, while recent developments focus on protocol-centric governance, pre-deposit vaults, and resilient tech stacks. Aragon supports a wide range of use cases from community coordination to complex organizational structures, emphasizing unstoppable, effective onchain entities.
Aragon produced the Generic Money protocol as part of its ecosystem development.
