Team
Specialist engineering
Aragon builds smart contract infrastructure and provides specialist engineering for onchain operations and token systems.
About
From pioneering DAOs to powering onchain systems
The Aragon project launched the first DAO framework, which became foundational infrastructure for the crypto industry.
Today, Aragon builds on that foundation, applying this expertise to secure technical and financial operations, implement token mechanisms, and automate onchain workflows.

Principles
Our approach
We combine technical expertise with a practical focus on our clients’ goals.
Security
Security guides every decision, from design to operations. We apply best practices from nearly a decade of securing onchain systems.
Pragmatism
We focus on each project’s goals and challenge established approaches when they add complexity or limit results.
Flexibility
We adapt proven components to each project’s requirements and build custom mechanisms where needed.
Collaboration
We work alongside our clients’ teams, embedding in their processes from initial design through deployment and ongoing operations.
Industry leadership
Leading industry initiatives
We help develop standards, bring technical expertise into policy, and support the resilience of the infrastructure we build on.
Ownership Token Framework
We created a framework to evaluate tokenholder rights and value accrual against verifiable evidence, helping investors assess tokens and projects demonstrate their fundamentals.
Ethereum Protocol Advocacy Alliance
We helped launch the EPAA to bring protocol builders’ expertise into policymaking, advocating for technically grounded rules that protect open infrastructure and permissionless access.
Team Staking Program
We launched Team Staking with Dappnode to help our contributors run Ethereum validators from home, combining subsidized hardware, training, and distributed validator technology to support network decentralization.
