Aragon Project Updates: May 2021
All the latest news on Aragon Voice, Vocdoni, V2 and lots more!
Hey Everyone,
The Aragon Update for May is here! Our team has been very busy these past few months launching lots of new products. As well as welcoming new teammates, we have launched Aragon Voice and Vocdoni on Mainnet, as well as onboarding a number of exciting partnerships.
Let’s jump in.
Launch of Aragon Voice
Aragon Voice is a new gasless, permissionless, and universally verifiable voting solution.
For the first time ever, anyone with an Ethereum address can design and implement On-Chain Proposals for their ERC20 project, where votes can be cast without gas fees, and are recorded as metadata both to Ethereum and IPFS, or Signaling Proposals that use a centralized backend but are universally verifiable on our custom vote-counting blockchain, Vochain.
Only On-Chain Proposal creators need to pay the gas costs of deploying the information to Mainnet. 👉 https://aragon.org/aragon-voice
Look out for new features coming soon 👀:
Anonymous Voting
Quadratic Voting
Other newer forms of voting
We would like as much feedback on Voice as possible if you have any feedback, features or suggestions you can leave it here → #Voice
Launch of Vocdoni
The team has been busy over the past few months and we are also pleased to announce the release of Vocdoni: a platform providing governance solutions such as AGM ballots for organizations using cutting-edge voting technology.
The platform will allow all entities to:
1) Create decentralized accounts.
2) Define eligible voters.
3) Create simple voting processes that make use of Vocdoni’s voting protocol in a similar way to Aragon Voice.
4) Allow end-users to vote without the need of an account using predefined credentials that unencrypt the private keys to sign votes.
Please add an organization and share it with any communities, businesses, NGOs & charities that may benefit. The platform with be free until October 2021.

Voting in Discord
Another exciting development is it will soon be possible to vote on community proposals in Discord. Aragon are partnering with Witnet.io who have built the integration and we look forward to bringing feeless, ‘optimistic’ voting to the heart of many DAO communities.
