Multichain Governance Arrives on Aragon OSx: A Game-Changer for Onchain Governance
Aragon OSx has introduced a groundbreaking new plugin that brings multichain governance to the forefront. Leveraging the LayerZero protocol for cross-chain messaging and the zkSync Era rollup for secure and low-cost voting, this plugin is set to revolutionize how DAOs govern assets and permissions across multiple EVM chains.
The plugin enables DAOs to manage assets and permissions from one mainnet DAO smart contract, streamlining the governance process for protocols deployed across chains. From creating custom censuses with tokens across chains to casting low-cost votes on zkSync and executing actions simultaneously across chains, this plugin offers a comprehensive solution for multichain governance.
With the code still undergoing audits, interested parties can already explore the plugin and its architecture. The open-source nature of the code allows for customization and integration into existing DAO structures. The plugin is set to launch on the no-code Aragon App in the new year, offering a user-friendly interface for implementing multichain governance.
One of the key features of this plugin is the ability to execute actions on any chain simultaneously, providing ultimate governance flexibility. Members can hold governance tokens across various EVM chains and have them counted in the same voting census on zkSync. This not only simplifies the voting process but also increases token participation by reducing gas costs.
The integration with zkSync and LayerZero ensures the security and scalability of the multichain governance plugin. zkSync’s zero-knowledge proofs and LayerZero’s cross-chain messaging capabilities make it possible to conduct secure and efficient votes across chains. The plugin leverages LayerZero’s Omnichain Fungible Token Standard to extend the capabilities of governance tokens, allowing for a diverse range of tokens to be used in the voting process.
Aragon OSx’s modular permission management system plays a crucial role in making multichain governance possible. The flexible permission management system, unopinionated protocol design, and replicable plugin system of Aragon OSx provide a solid foundation for building and managing multichain governance structures.
Overall, the introduction of multichain governance on Aragon OSx marks a significant milestone in the evolution of onchain governance. By enabling organizations to govern assets and permissions seamlessly across chains, this plugin opens up new possibilities for decentralized governance. With lower gas fees and increased token participation, multichain governance is set to transform how organizations govern onchain, ushering in a new era of trustless, permissionless, and censorship-resistant governance.
