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. 00:00 — DAOs used to be painful; Aragon fixes that 00:20 — What Aragon is & why modular governance matters 00:42 — How plug-and-play DAO modules work 01:15 — The DAO core, permissions, and plugin architecture 01:40 — Multichain governance: LayerZero, zkSync, encrypted proposals 02:10 — Key features: audits, templates, OSx, Vocdoni 02:40 — Why Aragon is trusted by major protocols 03:20 — Summary analogy + what we should explore next 03:55 — Outro ⚠️ Not Financial Advice Crypto is volatile — always do your own research before deploying governance or launching a DAO. 🎙️ About The Optimism Show High-signal coverage of Base, OP Mainnet, the OP Stack, and the Superchain — built for founders, builders, and DAO operators who want clarity over hype. 🔔 Follow & Subscribe Subscribe for weekly deep dives into governance, Superchain infrastructure, and the tools shaping the next era of onchain coordination.
