Building the Future of Polygon Governance

At Aragon, we are proud to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of Polygon governance, by strengthening its governance pillars with an end-to-end governance solution —from the protocol governance contracts to a community-driven Governance Hub.

As long time builders on Polygon, we are excited to empower the community with a unified and seamless governance experience that is secure, transparent, and adaptable. By leveraging the robust capabilities of Aragon OSx, our modular governance framework, we are creating a governance solution that is as dynamic and innovative as the Polygon landscape itself.

Our Role in Building the Polygon Governance Hub

The Governance Hub is set to be the home of community-driven decision-making for the Polygon aggregated blockchain network, as well as other network architecture. Our modular governance framework, Aragon OSx, and custom development services are bringing this vision to life.

By leveraging the security of our smart contract framework, flexibility of our custom development solutions, and human-centered design system, the Governance Hub will facilitate a unified and seamless experience, engaging the entire community in a multi-stage governance process.

Why Aragon OSx?

Aragon OSx, our next-generation modular governance framework, is optimized for customization and adaptability. Its plugin-based architecture allows for the secure and efficient customization of governance contracts, making it ideal for complex governance structures. Here’s how Aragon OSx supports a bespoke governance solution for Polygon:

• Security: The governance contracts safeguard the protocol with granular permission management and custom processes.
• Modularity: Our framework supports a wide range of governance models through customizable and interchangeable plugins, enabling multi-body and multi-stage governance.
• Adaptability: Plugins can be securely installed via the governance process, ensuring that the Governance Hub can evolve with the community’s growth.

Features of the Polygon Governance Hub

Our bespoke UI template and open governance design system consolidate every stage of Polygon governance into a single, intuitive interface. Human-centered design ensures that all community members, regardless of technical expertise, can engage with the governance process. This unified platform will include:

• Dashboard: A consolidated overview where members can find the latest updates from each section of the Governance Hub in one place.
• Members and Delegates: A directory of community members and delegates, fostering transparency and accountability.
• Multi-Stage Proposals: A unified interface for tracking and discussing proposals across multiple stages, from initial discussions to onchain execution: 
  • Proposals are initiated and discussed in GitHub, as well as the forum, and made directly visible on the proposal page.
  • When the discussion is closed, the onchain proposal is created by the Protocol Council.
  • Afterwards, it is automatically populated for the community to voice their approval or disapproval. 
  • Once the community has been heard, the security council executes the transaction.
• Resources: A library of governance-related resources to educate and inform the community, including the proposal creation process, and Protocol Council contracts. 

The Road Ahead

Our journey with Polygon is just beginning. As long standing contributors to the Polygon community, we are dedicated to empowering the community with a governance platform for transparent and inclusive decision-making. At each milestone, we will invite the community to provide meaningful feedback, ensuring that the Governance Hub evolves in alignment with the community’s needs.

The future of protocol governance is here, and with our modular framework, any project can implement a governance model tailored to its unique needs. We are proud to be working with the Polygon community to advance a novel governance solution that is both secure and community-driven, leading the industry towards a more decentralized future.

Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to build the Polygon Governance Hub.
