The Aragon tech stack is now live on ZKsync. Any project in the ZKsync ecosystem can launch a DAO on the Aragon App and govern their protocols and assets onchain. Projects can also explore custom governance solutions on Aragon OSx, tapping into the potential of native account abstraction to enhance the voter experience.

Why ZKsync?

ZKsync – the Elastic Chain – is an infinitely extensible network of ZK Chains. The system can continue scaling without compromising performance, verifiability, or decentralization. The core components of its architecture inherit the security of Ethereum, while remaining seamlessly interoperable with a uniform and intuitive UX.

For projects wanting to explore custom solutions, ZKsync offers unique capabilities for customized user experiences with modular smart accounts.

Governance Benefits

From a governance perspective, ZKsync provides the following benefits:

Enhanced User Experience: Intuitive, seamless, and familiar user experience can go a long way to improve participation in a DAO. The Elastic Chain looks and feels like a single blockchain from the user’s perspective, with easy onboarding and free liquidity access across any smart contract on any ZK Chain.
Low-Cost Voting: Low voting costs are critical to voter participation. Voting costs are low – at just 1 cent per vote – and the system can scale without affecting the cost of transactions. ZKsync’s native account abstraction unlocks the possibility for DAOs to subsidize the gas cost of votes entirely.
Robust Security: When governing protocols and assets onchain, security is the highest priority. ZKsync inherits the security of Ethereum now and into the future, forming a network that can scale horizontally without compromising on the core properties that secure the network.

In November 2023, we launched the first iteration of our Multichain Governance plugin. We’ve been building this solution with the ZKsync stack for its native account abstraction capabilities and are continuing to expand on its design and functionality. Stay tuned for the next update.
