Aragon, a administrative platform for decentralized organizations built on ethereum, has released a new alpha client for testing.
Unveiled in February, Aragon aims to provide a means for establishing governance mechanisms for decentralized autonomous corporations, or DACs, with support for voting, budgeting and the creation of bylaws, among other features.
In recent weeks, the team behind the project has been quietly bug-testing an early version of the platform with members of the ethereum community, setting the stage for today's publication.
Project lead Luis Cuende, who co-founded blockchain startup Stampery, wrote of the release:
"And after a lot of work, we are comfortable and proud with the current state of the product. Proud enough to make it public. So, today, we are releasing Aragon Alpha to the world."
Though not live on the public network, Aragon is available for experimentation on the Kovan testnet, which was launched earlier this month and is backed by a number of startups working with ethereum. The alpha software has been released for MacOS, Linux and Windows.
The software publication also builds on past work. According to Aragon, more than 130 DACs have been established on the platform, while also drawing over 300 participants to its developer Slack channel.

Bitcoin holds $69,000 as gold tumbles and oil spikes, but one analyst says stay on sidelines
While bitcoin has shown relative strength against gold since the war in Iran broke out, investors are better off holding off "dry powder" while prices swing wildly on headlines, said Wintermute's Bryan Tan.
What to know:
- Bitcoin slipped to $69,000 but held up better than many traditional assets as Middle East tensions and attacks on energy infrastructure rattled global markets.
- Oil prices swung back toward $100 a barrel, stoking renewed inflation fears and expectations that central banks may keep interest rates higher for longer. Meanwhile, gold and silver tumbled to their weakest levels since early February.
- Bitcoin has outperformed gold since the Iran war, but the lack of follow-through above $75,000 suggests investors should remain cautious with dip buying, Wintermute trader Bryan Tan said.
