Build DAOs, protocols and dapps
Aragon is the most powerful and modular way to run DAOs. But in our journey creating DAOs, we discovered how to modularize individual components that can be used for creating any dapp or crypto protocol.

Use cases
For DAOs
You can create organizations that let entities (users, smart contracts) interact with each other and create rich governance mechanisms by using the Access Control List.
You can also create templates, so other people will be able to create pre-configured organizations just by selecting your template in the setup process. This way, you can benefit from the existing stack for creating and managing decentralized organizations.
For dapps
You can create dapps that run into Aragon (Aragon apps). Aragon apps are interoperable between themselves, and can forward actions to one another, so you don't have to reinvent the wheel.
An example is a voting app can forward the intent of a user to another app if the voting passes. You can just build an Aragon app that exposes some functionality, and then any governance mechanism will be able to consume it without any additional changes. You can use the smart contract framework (aragonOS), the JavaScript library to consume their state (aragon.js) and the UI framework (Aragon UI) as you see fit.
Some examples of Aragon apps:
For crypto protocols
You can build any governance mechanism to upgrade your crypto protocol or its parameters. You can benefit from the existing governance mechanisms that support aragonOS, or roll out your own very easily.
