Aragon Whitepaper: A New Decentralized Charter for Human Organization
Luis Cuende, Jorge Izquierdo
Abstract
The Aragon whitepaper, published in 2017, introduces a framework for creating and managing decentralized organizations (DAOs) on the Ethereum blockchain. It posits that existing organizational structures are often inefficient, opaque, and susceptible to censorship, and proposes Aragon as a solution to empower communities with self-governance and transparent operations. The core of Aragon is a set of smart contracts that enable the creation of autonomous entities with their own rules, tokens, and decision-making processes. It aims to provide tools for managing membership, voting, and treasury allocation in a decentralized manner, thereby facilitating new forms of collective action and resource management. By abstracting away much of the complexity of smart contract development, Aragon seeks to make it accessible for anyone to launch and govern a DAO, revolutionizing how human organizations can be structured and operated.
