We're happy to announce that you can now run DAO on Base using Aragon's no-code implementation and the standard Aragon OSx protocol. Incubated in the Coinbase ecosystem, Base opens the door for millions of individual and institutional users to move on-chain and participate in the cryptocurrency economy.
Coinbase and Aragon are among the longest-running projects in the industry and have earned the trust of users with a proven track record of securing billions of assets for the Ethereum ecosystem. Coinbase secures 128 billion assets for verified individual and institutional users, and Aragon secures governance of over 15 billion assets for industry-leading DAOs.
“Projects launched on Base will be instrumental in bringing the next billion users on-chain. We are excited for Aragon to deploy its secure, modular, and easy-to-use technology stack for Base users to launch their own DAOs and participate in onchain governance.”
– Jesse Pollack, Base Creator and Head of Protocol at Coinbase, Base
We share Base's vision in manufacturing onchain next onlineAnd we are building to make it a reality. To move the world on the chain, we need to govern the world on the chain. Decentralized autonomous organizations are essential to realizing this vision, and Aragon's new technology stack makes onchain governance more flexible and accessible than ever before. By publishing on Base, Aragon aims to make onchain governance user-friendly, cost-effective and secure for builders and users.
Why are Aragon DAOs deployed on the base?
Base is an Ethereum Layer 2 (L2) network, incubated by Coinbase. It provides a secure, low-cost and developer-friendly platform for building on-chain. It's built on the open source OP Stack, making it interoperable with the broader ecosystem.
Coinbase has played an important role in onboarding millions of users and institutions into cryptocurrencies, by creating an easy-to-use and secure platform. We do the same for DAOs. The Aragon app allows anyone to launch, manage, and participate in a DAO with a secure, no-code user experience. User experience and security go hand in hand. When users can easily navigate and understand their on-chain actions, they can make more informed decisions and safely interact with assets and contracts.
“Both Coinbase and Aragon are leading brands in their respective web3 spaces. This deployment will allow the entire Coinbase ecosystem to deploy their own DAOs on the base, opening up a scalable solution to build quickly, securely and in a cost-effective manner.
-Anthony Luteniger, Head of Growth at the Aragon Project
Embraced by Coinbase and aiming to offer the benefits of an EVM environment, Base aims to bring millions of users into the broader cryptocurrency economy. By making Aragon and Aragon OSx available on Base, we hope more users will have a seamless experience with cryptocurrencies and the DAO, becoming active participants in onchain governance.
Commitment to decentralization and Onchain governance
In order to create systems that increase economic and political freedom globally, we need robust, decentralized network infrastructure. Both Base and Aragon share a deep commitment to secure and progressive decentralization. To achieve decentralization, the infrastructure must be managed over the Internet by a wide range of stakeholders.
Onchain governance allows us to align the incentives of these stakeholders with the security and growth of the ecosystem. A robust DAO framework, especially one as simple, secure, and modular as Aragon OSx, is essential to achieving these goals. Onchain governance is fundamental to creating the resilient, future-proof, and unstoppable technology necessary to power the new systems we envision.
There are many ways to join and participate in the crypto economy, and Base paves a reliable and secure path for 1 million creators and 1 billion users. We can't wait to see the Base ecosystem grow and support Aragon DAOs to manage and decentralize it.
