Upcoming Changes In the Aragon App
From June 30,2025, the latest version of the Aragon app will replace earlier versions of the app, ensuring all builders have seamless access to top features for designing adaptable and modular governance right out of the box.
A new chapter for onchain organizations
Decentralization has the potential to transform how organizations function—but rigid, one-size-fits-all frameworks for doing so have held them back. At Aragon, we’re firm believers in building effective governance. Early tooling established as a means to simply allow for governance to exist onchain brought with it a number of complexities that, though able to accelerate the vision of DAOs, made the process of doing so cumbersome. It has always been a part of our mission to not just support an organization’s decentralization journey, but to design a world where the process is seamless and effective–every step of the way.
Aragon OSx was launched in 2023 as a modular, permission-centric operating system that lets developers create fully onchain organizations with complex multibody governance structures. The original UI that we shipped alongside it was intentionally limited to help facilitate builders with easier governance tooling as we worked against our roadmap to unlock a wider suite of features. It supported simple token-based governance and multisigs designed to ease the existing process of setting up a DAO—a glimpse of the full offering of OSx and just the first wave of a vision for better onchain governance.
In March of 2025, with an upgrade to OSx 1.4 and an all-new approach for building onchain governance in the app, we made modular governance accessible out-of-the-box, providing full-stack, no-code tooling for adaptable, customizable, and effective governance design.
The new app offers a range of features designed to help organizations easily build and manage novel, custom governance designs fit to their needs, without the need to architect complex structures from scratch. A major step toward accelerating better onchain governance, this latest release provides all the same functionalities of earlier versions while unlocking the flexibility inherent to OSx.
Looking forward: Evolving our product landscape
The new app codifies modular governance patterns into a system of governance processes, stages, and bodies all without any engineering. Our thesis is that the future of governance is modular, and our strategy behind this release puts that opportunity right into the hands of any organization. Some highlights include:
- Different types of proposals for different decisions
- Flexible governance designs, where processes can have number of stages or stakeholder groups
- Optimistic governance, where proposals pass automatically unless vetoed, at any governance stage
- Adaptable governance over time—no rewrites or audits needed
The new UI is fully refactored with a cleaner codebase, which will help us ship new features even faster and ultimately deliver a better experience.
For this reason we will deprecate the legacy app by June 30.
What You Need to Do
You don’t need to take any action—your project will continue working exactly as it has.
All your proposals and governance settings are fully onchain via Aragon OSx and will persist indefinitely onchcain.
The new UI at https://app.aragon.org is fully compatible with projects deployed using the legacy version.
For Developers: Aragon SDK and Subgraph Deprecation
The legacy app stack included an SDK and custom subgraph deployment for indexing. These tools made it easier for developers to access onchain OSx data and build custom applications.
They are only supported for DAOs deployed on OSx version 1.3 or earlier. We do not plan to upgrade the SDK or subgraphs to support version 1.4 or later.
