Meet Aragon OSx and Aragon App, the most user-friendly tech stack for DAOs 👇
Must read interview by
@dao_times
on a serial “DAO money grabbing” group of contributors. It’s why I am unabashedly pro high friction, permissioned work in protocol/product DAOs.
We interviewed a self-proclaimed DAO money grabber who reveals the dark side of decentralized governance and how they exploit the system for personal gain.
Thanks to everyone who came to the

today! I've learned a hell of a lot and met and worked with some incredible people. Thanks to everyone who's put up with my incessant memeing! Onwards and upwards! 🚀🦅🗳️
After 7.5 years it's time to try something new. Today we leave to Barcelona for a few months before a new spot in 🇨🇭. From alpine starts, to long sunny days, to party laps on powder days, I only have the warmest memories to take with me. Merci Leysin, until next time!
Proud of
@AragonProject
and
@vocdoni
and these incredible people. DAOs or trad orgs need human connection and shared rituals to succeed, this will never change. 🇭🇷 🦅
All of us in the Ethereum ecosystem rely on the strength of the network to build our products and secure our resources. For us at
@AragonProject
that means: no Ethereum = no DAO's. So we need to do our part in helping decentralize it.
The best part is, we're going to try and…
It’s time for us to do our part. 🫡

Today is a special day as I passed my Catalan exam!
The flawless pronunciation of: "setze jutges d’un jutjat mengen fetge d’un penjat" As such I was given my Catalan passport and traditional outfit. Thank you!
I’ve worked with some awesome

Does this graph include the costs for Americans for private health care, and other costs not covered by taxes? No question Canada has high taxes, but is this a fair comparison?
Devs should be focused on their own tech-stack not spending unreasonable time in DAO ops. We continue to ship human-readable, no-code tooling including the ability for you to OPTIONALLY update your self-sovereign DAO with a simple pre-populated proposal. More details in the blog.
Introducing Aragon OSx Updates: seamless + optional updates for your DAO in the Aragon App 💙
Typically, contract updates require Solidity experience. But we've made it safe and easy for DAOs to make updates by passing proposals in the App!

I'm really proud of this feature! You can now have your similar

experience directly from your DAO. 🏅
Launch DappConnect 🚀, interact with a dapp ▶️, and voila a proposal is automatically created with the parameters and payload for your voters to vote on. 🗳️
It's…
Interacting with dApps from your DAO is now easier than ever!

Although the stats are inflated by airdrop farmers, it’s true that the most popular chain we offer DAOs to spin up on is

We’re thrilled to announce Aragon’s new DAO Experts program – connecting DAO creators seeking support with the teams, resources, and tools in the space best able to assist and advise them.
Remember why you are here: to participate in a revolution? To build tools for a better and more inclusive world? We win if what we build makes a permanent change on the world. ❤️🌍
First they build you up, then they tear you down. "Free-market" communities cancelling a protocol because of its success rather than pressuring and working with competitors to be better. These types of mentalities stagnate long-term success for the entire industry, rather than…

Sexy incentive alignment. Aragon deploys capital into Steakhouse vaults on Morpho, governed on Aragon.
1/ Morpho Blue user spotlight:

🦋🦅
Aragon first contributed to the Morpho ecosystem with solutions that helped
@SteakhouseFi
decentralize their MetaMorpho governance set-up.
Now, Aragon has also deployed their own capital into Steakhouse's USDC vault.
The FTX debacle is terrible for our industry. Some of the biggest players in onboarding people into crypto, have rug pulled the exact entrants we need staying on long-term. Terra/Luna, Celcius, BlockFi, FTX to name a few. None of whom really exemplify what web3 actually is.

Life update: Im no longer leading DevRel at Aragon
As a PoliSci alumni and dev, Aragon is a dream - leveraging blockchain to disrupt how people organize at scale.
But before I continue building the future of governance, I realized I needed a step back.
Here’s why & what next🧵
Just put up an RFC for all
@MorphoLabs
Vault curators to consider implementing or migrating to trustless, onchain guardians on
@AragonProject
. Open to any questions and comments! 💙
Please consider that multisigs AND DAOs need to use your tools, otherwise we are forcing "decentralised, autonomous, organisations" to create trusted parties to perform actions, defeating the entire purpose of their existence.
hey
@PancakeSwap
, this is not ok
You're discriminating against smart contract wallets, including
@safe
(secures $80 billion), and over a million of ERC-4337 accounts
That's not a right way to do things - your contracts should be secure regardless of who the caller is
By using

,
@SteakhouseFi
now have the most secure & trustless vaults on
@MorphoLabs
with the fastest time to activate guardians, the longest timelock, 0 trusted intermediaries, 1 UI for governance, & fully transparent actions. Onchain governance winning. 🏆
Steakhouse MetaMorpho trustlessness has been achieved internally with
@AragonProject
We already lead the curated vaults with a 7-day timelock
Now we want to iterate by removing trusted intermediaries from the guardian
@MorphoLabs
lenders should always be in control
Our partners from
@aragonproject
will cover the basics of Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs), equipping students with the knowledge they need to create their own on-chain communities.
The fate of humanity will be decided at the frontier of technological innovation and human collaboration. A hyperstructure will allow us to realise the dream of empowering people around the world to organise together, with less impact from their socio/geo-political situations. 🌍
Our vision is to provide the most flexible and secure tools for creating and managing decentralized organizations, allowing governance experimentation at the speed of software
Here's the strategy the core teams are following to fulfill this vision👇 🧵

100% , been preaching this for a few months now after speaking with 50+ DAOs at ETHcc and ETHBarcelona. Coordination is already more difficult in DAOs, continuously adding contributors and overhead/lack of comm’s grows. Well aligned service DAOs you grow with will help.
