Aragon is a secure and modular tech stack for organizations to manage their protocols and assets onchain.

Guides

Aragon supports a diverse set of builders who want to build on top of OSx:

Building a DAO Launch or upgrade your DAO directly by calling the OSx framework.

Developing a plugin Create and publish plugins to the Aragon Plugin Marketplace for others to use.

Building a custom application Integrate OSx into custom web apps using our suite of React-based UI tools.

Aragon OSx

OSx is our Ethereum-based smart contract framework. It enables organizations to deploy custom governance tailored to their unique needs and securely adapt over time. It was designed to overcome the monolithic one-size-fits-approach commonly used by onchain organizations.

The central principle behind OSx is that permissions are the core primitive that enables effective governance in any complex organization.

Aragon Plugin Marketplace

Permissions can be granted to an OSx plugin address. Plugins contain governance logic inside of reusable contracts. Each plugin is limited in scope, with single-purpose logic that can be mixed and matched to compose novel governance designs.

Explore or publish your own community-built plugins that can be used to extend any OSx-based organization with new governance logic.

Governance Tooling

The Governance UI Kit and Governance App Template are used to build custom applications and UIs that integrate seamlessly with OSx.
