Tokens can only be evaluated on fundamentals when they have enforceable claims on value and capital flows. Today we're releasing the Ownership Token Framework, measuring how project fundamentals map to the token by evaluating ownership, value accrual, and verifiability.

We’re happy to take part in The Ethereum Security QF round alongside other teams contributing to Ethereum security and public goods. Stronger access control and automated safeguards are a critical security layer we’re proud to keep improving for the ecosystem.

The OTF breaks tokens down into two core signals: ownership and value accrual. Explore the dashboard and evaluate tokens on fundamentals ↓

Offsites are an important part of how we work as a team. Time to step back, align, and tackle what comes next. To another season of building together. 🍻

Aragon is now available on Citrea 🍊 @AragonProject powers protocols with products and services designed to manage capital allocation, governance, and ownership at scale. Get ready for what's next!

Access-control failures in crypto are existential: - 75% of total hacks resulting in a loss of funds - $12+ billion in TVL (total value LOST) Our code is safer, but our access-control and opsec is the same since 2018. Time for an upgrade.

Aragon is available on @citrea_xyz. Teams building ₿apps on Citrea can now use Aragon to set up stronger access control and value accrual mechanisms.

Kelp and Drift aren’t edge cases. They’re avoidable failures that the industry will be paying for years. If DeFi doesn’t take access-control seriously, it won’t be competitive for institutional capital.

We gather this week for our team offsite.

Strong access control is table stakes. Structure it properly or carry the risk. Protocols that get this right will be the ones that attract and retain capital. Get in touch → aragon.org/get-started

Security councils Add independent oversight. Bring in expert operators to review proposals and execute critical actions. Don’t leave control entirely within one team.

From Kelp and Drift to the incidents before them, the pattern is familiar. At this point, single points of failure are a choice. The impact is catastrophic for users and the damage compounds across DeFi. These are solvable problems. Here are some actions protocols can take. ↓

We look forward to participating in @thedaofund's Ethereum Security initiatives.
