EVM Mirror: Mind the gap between audit and deployment
Is your onchain contract actually the audited code? For every deployment and upgrade, teams need to verify that the code running onchain is the code they reviewed, approved, and audited. A smart contract audit reviews a codebase at a specific point in time. Auditors read a particular Git commit, evaluate
Introducing Onchain Profiles
Transactions and approval flows are difficult to track with raw Ethereum addresses. This becomes a real operational problem in access control and governance workflows. Participants are hard to recognize during critical actions, whether reviewing multisig transactions, evaluating delegates, or tracking voting activity. Some platforms offer profile systems, but those profiles

Most projects today rely on
Designing Network-Level Token Value Accrual for Katana
Value accrual is the engine of sustainable growth for ecosystems. It aligns incentives, strengthens networks, and creates a feedback loop where usage drives value and value flows back to participants. Obvious as it may sound, most ecosystems struggle to design these systems. We at Aragon set out to change this,
