Overview

Aragon is a project that aims to decentralize the creation and maintenance of organizational structures by using blockchain technology. The project empowers people across the world by providing tools for them to easily and securely manage their organizations.

How Aragon Works

Aragon allows users to manage organizations using blockchain technology, with the goal of creating more efficient infrastructures. You can do stuff like Cap table, vesting, payments, voting, bylaws, fundraising and identity on Aragon all in a beautiful, unified interface.

For the governance, Aragon Network enables a blockchain native digital jurisdiction, which will be the first digital court of law. This digital court enables social scalability in the blockchain ecosystem without requiring users to give up their privacy and freedom by associating their physical identity with their blockchain identity.
