Aragon

2024

How can a platform designed to enable decentralized organizations reclaim its founding ethos? 
That's the question facing Aragon, the Ethereum-based project aiming to empower leaderless entities, after a rollercoaster 2023. This week, new CEO Antony Leutenegger stepped in to right the ship with a back-to-basics approach focused on rebuilding technology and community. Antony wrote in Thursday's <a href="https://twitter.com/A_Leutenegger/status/1750541343582019635?ref=daotimes.com" rel="noreferrer">announcement</a>:
<blockquote class="kg-blockquote-alt">
 "My goal is to get Aragon back to doing what it does best - building innovative technology" 
</blockquote>
The new chief plans to double down on development of Aragon OSx and Aragon App, newly-launched tools for creating and customizing decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs). Despite recent turmoil, Antony called the tech stack launch "the highlight we had all dreamed about" and "what gave us strength" amid restructuring.

According to Antony, the team shakeup leaves Aragon with "a lean, passionate, and experienced team of builders." He views these developers and their commitment to decentralized governance as the project's most vital asset.
His priority as CEO is to optimize Aragon's builder-first environment, "take this new tech stack to the next level, decentralize the protocol safely, and serve the needs of the next generation of DAOs."
It's a back-to-basics approach that I personally find encouraging. Aragon must improve its core developer experience if the platform hopes to power the real-world DAOs it has always envisioned.
"DAO models such as Aragon are essential to advance the values of Ethereum, particularly as the ecosystem grows," Antony affirmed. Delivering on promises of customizable governance could enable coordination without centralized enforcement - a better way for organizing humans.

However, effecting such a profound shift requires a strong community aligned behind shared purpose. After alienating some early supporters amid 2022's turmoil, rebuilding engagement remains imperative.
Antony seems to recognize Aragon's need to reconnect with its community roots. In Thursday's letter, he asked ecosystem partners to reach out with feedback and committed to transparent communication moving forward.
Under this new leadership paradigm prioritizing builders, I predict 2024 will see Aragon regain momentum. Delivering long-awaited upgrades for early adopters could reignite excitement around the project's potential.
