Aragon 0.6 released on Mainnet allowing Aragon organizations to run on Ethereum Mainnet

Yesterday, the team at Aragon, announced the release of Aragon 0.6, named Alba, on Ethereum Mainnet. It’s now possible to create Aragon organizations on the Ethereum Mainnet. Earlier, the organizations were running on Ethereum testnets, without real-world inferences.

Aragon 0.5 was released seven months ago and since then, more than 2,500 organizations have been created with it. The total number of Aragon organizations have now crossed 15,000. Aragon 0.5 was the first release to get powered by AragonOS. This release was only deployed on the Rinkeby Ethereum Testnet.

Major updates in Aragon 0.6

1. 
   

   Permissions

Permissions are a dynamic and powerful way to customize the organization. They manage who can access resources on your organization, and how. For example, one can create an organization in which, funds can be withdrawn only after the voting is done. The votes can be only created by a board of experts, allowing anyone in the organization to cast votes. Peers can also vote to create tokens to add new members. Possibilities are endless with ‘Permissions’ as any governance process could be now implemented.

2. Voting gets easier

Voting enables participation and collaborative decision-making. The team at Aragon have rebuilt the card-based voting interface from the ground up. This interface helps one to a look at the votes at a glance.

3.  AragonOS 4

Aragon 0.6 features AragonOS 4, a smart contract framework for building DAOs, dapps and protocols. The AragonOS 4 is yet to be released but has managed to create some buzz.

Its architecture is based on the idea of a decentralized organization as an aggregate of multiple applications. The architecture also involves the use of the Kernel which governs how these applications can talk to each other and also how other entities can interact with them. AragonOS 4 makes the interaction with Aragon organizations even more secure and stable.

It’s easy to create your own decentralized organization now. You can start by choosing the network for your organization and follow the next steps on Aragon’s official website.

Note: The official blog post suggests to not place large amounts of funds in Aragon 0.6 organizations at this point as there might be some unforeseen situations where user funds could be at risk.
