Hi,

So one of my buddy has few ANT coins in his atomic wallet, and he wanted to convert it to BTC. But the exchange option on the wallet app is not working for this.

Can you guys tell what steps do we have to follow to:

1. Check and convert the ANT version?
2. Further steps for redemption?(still haven't fully understood it)

Thank you

Hello community, I have been made aware that we will no longer be using ANT and have to convert our coins to ETH by November 2024?

I just want to ask: Is this true or is this a scam? I will not be answering to any private messages.

Thank you!

Anyone can explain how did they raised 25Million in 20 minutes without not any product? Strong community before?

I have some ANT in a Centralized Exchange [CEX],

and since the ANT tokens have delisted, I need to move them off the CEX,

so that I am eligible for the ETH redemption - https://ant.aragon.org/#/

I'm unsure if my tokens are ANT v1 or v2,

but I have not interacted with them, for more than 5 years now,

so I think they are all v1. In any case, I need some advice,

on how to go about upgrading from v1 to v2,

because a lot of the official documentation online have been deprecated now.

New opportunities for ANT holders

• 🔹 Earn interest
• 🔹 Use as collateral for borrowing
• 🔹 Amplify exposure
• 🔹 Margin trade

ANT Lending and Borrowing

Put your ANT to work with the Fringe lending platform by lending it out to borrowers or using your ANT as collateral to borrow other crypto assets.

Amplify your ANT position

Are you bullish on ANT? Amplify your position with this asset in a single operation. Specify the leverage, and Fringe Finance smart contracts will handle everything else.

Deploy your DAO on Arbitrum using the modular DAO framework, Aragon OSx, or the no-code Aragon App today!

​

Arbitrum is a layer two rollup making the largest Layer 1 ecosystem, Ethereum, more accessible. Think of it as your access point to the entire Ethereum world!

​

Arbitrum processes around 40,000 transactions per second (TPS), while Ethereum only processes around 20-40. Transactions are lower cost than mainnet, as well.

​

TLDR: Give your DAO the benefits of access to the Ethereum ecosystem, faster and cheaper transactions, plus inherited L1 security.

Hello there! For my bachelor's thesis, I am doing research on the User Experience of DAOs. As Aragon is one of the major platforms for creating and managing DAOs with a user-friendly interface, I would like to know your experience as an Aragon user with a short survey (under 10 minutes). It would be greatly appreciated if you could help me out! Thank you.

Here's a link to the survey: https://survey.uu.nl/jfe/form/SV_3wnsyaxFRMkB35Y

PS: Send me a message if you would like to learn more about my research.

Now its even easier to integrate our new multichain plugin!

​

Aragon OSx Github repository: https://github.com/aragon/osx-cli

​

Upon launch, here is what you can expect from the CLI:

- Faster development process

- More descriptive error messages

​

Future features will include:

- The ability to install a plugin into an existing DAO

- Create a repo with a basic plugin template

​

Some of the current commands include:

- deploy [options] [contract]

- publish [options] [contract]

- info [options] [repoName]

- Simulate transactions [ --simulate ]

We’re integrating with zkSync and LayerZero to enable governance of assets and permissions across chains from one mainnet DAO.

Multichain governance has arrived on Aragon OSx! The new plugin leverages the LayerZero protocol for cross-chain messaging and the zkSync Era rollup for low-cost and secure voting. The code is still undergoing audits but you can already explore it here. 

This plugin enables DAOs to govern assets and permissions across EVM chains from one mainnet DAO smart contract. This is a major step forward for the governance of protocols deployed across chains.

In this weeks edition of The Eagle 🦅

• Modularity makes your smart contract governance adaptable, because you can add and remove functionality as your needs change. The Aragon OSx contracts are modular through the use of plugins, which can be added, removed, and upgraded. Learn more about the contracts behind your Aragon OSx DAO in the weekly highlight below!
• Build a plugin! Developers have full control over the plugins they build. We have a setup guide, code sample, and video to get you started.
• We were on two X spaces this week. Ivan, Head of Ecosystem, spoke with The Pass about Navigating DAOs (recording here). Samantha, Content Editor, spoke with Opolis about DAO Creation and Onboarding (recording here).

Aragon ZK and Aztec Network delivered a proof of concept for private voting for NounsDAO as part of the Nouns Prop House research sprint!

The findings we’ll describe below are an important step forward for voter privacy in web3

But why do we need onchain private voting? Privacy is a fundamental right.

Being able to cast your vote privately is a key aspect of democracies today, protecting voters from blackmail, intimidation, and vote influencing.

In the research sprint, they sought to answer this primary question

Up to which point is it possible to build a voting system in Ethereum that is user-friendly, trustless, fair, weighted, and ballot-secret?

Answer: With the promising progress on both research and development achieved throughout the sprint, it is very possible! This is exciting news for NounsDAO and the web3 industry as a whole!

The private voting proof of concept consists of four steps:

1. Register your wallet: done once per address
2. Create the voting process
3. Generate and then cast your vote, repeating this step if you hold multiple NFTs
4. Tally the votes: done once per voting process

Completely private, all performed without a trusted party or middleman

Watch the demo video to see it in action:

You can test out the private voting proof of concept yourself and read about their future plans in these docs!

• General report
• Technical report
• Github repo
• Blog Post

Yes, title says it. I found an old install on my windows device called "Aragon (alpha)" - I still have the seed phrase (12 world mnomic) and corresponding password. However the old wallet won't really start. It's been idle in a kind of "loading" screen for some time now. My guess is, the node or whatever it's trying to connect does not exist anymore.

I checked the folder. Had to swipe off some dust there to be actually able to read the date. All files are from April 2017.

So my question: is there any way to restore my corns via another wallet that actually works - or any other process to access my depricated ANT funds?

Thanks in advance.

Just getting around to converting my ANT now that fees are lower.

I assume the tool converts "in place" leaving the ANTv2 in the same address. I would like to have the converted ANTv2 placed at a new address. Is this possible? I use a Ledger + Metamask.

Hoping to do it all with one fee.

Aragon Users may experience an estimated 1-2 hours of downtime beginning June 7 2023 at 7:20am UTC .

We are aware of the issue and are currently working on a fix. Thank for your patience!

Introducing the Smart Contract Composer, live on the Aragon App! ⚡️

Interact with any external contract from your DAO with just a few clicks — no coding required.

The smart contract composer allows your DAO to connect to any web3 contract.

For example….

- Swap tokens

- Mint an NFT

- Stake assets (available soon)

More on the way!

​

Simply create a proposal and add an action

If the proposal passes, the action automatically executes

No human intervention required. Completely autonomous—like it should be

Check out this guide of How to use the composer.

In the guide we walk through a demo of swapping tokens in your DAO using Uniswap, all without leaving the Aragon App!

Or watch the video walkthrough of how to use it.

Not sure what action to create?

Don't worry—we’ll launch more specific guides and videos on how to perform certain actions in your DAO. We'll cover everything from minting NFTs to staking assets. You'll be able to plug-and-play our guides in no time so stay tuned. You can use the Smart Contract Composer after you launch your DAO on the Aragon App. Launch your unstoppable organization in less than 10 minutes on the Aragon App.

We can't wait to see how you use it!

Go create your DAO on Aragon App and try it out!

In this YouTube Video and accompanying How-to Guide, Juliette, the developer advocate for Aragon explains how to create a plugin for the new Aragon OSx.

If you have any questions join the Discord!

Here, you can find other Developers who are creating plugins and ask them and the Aragon Team questions regarding developing and deploying these plugins.
