Launching a DAO used to be slow, risky, and technically painful. Aragon turns that entire process into plug-and-play governance, letting teams launch DAOs like installing apps — with audited modules, fine-grained permissions, multichain execution, and no Solidity required.

Aragon’s modular stack includes token voting, multisigs, ve-lockers, encrypted proposals, optimistic governance flows, LayerZero cross-chain execution, and zkSync-based cheap voting. Plugins live in a secure, ENS-indexed repository, allowing DAOs to upgrade safely without rewriting dangerous code.

With OSx, new DAO templates, privacy features via Vocdoni, and a growing plugin marketplace, Aragon is becoming the app store and security desk for DAO governance — trusted by Curve, Polygon’s Protocol Council, and major protocols securing billions.

If you’re building DAOs, DeFi protocols, or multichain governance, Aragon offers auditable, modular, production-ready infrastructure that scales across the Superchain and beyond.

⚠️ Not Financial Advice
Crypto is volatile — always do your own research before deploying governance or launching a DAO.
