Progress of development from the first quarter of 2018
Releasing Aragon Core v0.5, The Architect, was the biggest development milestone during the first quarter of the year. For some more information on the actual launch, you can check the official announcement:
Aragon Core v0.5 — "The Architect" — release
The most powerful Aragon release to date
It is worth noting that there is not a single line of code in Aragon Core v0.5 being reused from the previous releases. This release is a full DApp (served using IPFS); we have discontinued the native desktop clients for the time being.
For more information on aragonOS 3, you can check the full announcement post we released in January:
Introducing aragonOS 3.0 alpha, the new operating system for protocols and DApps
Two different audits were started in Q1 and we expect to have the reports published in the coming weeks.
DApps that can be shut down by shutting down a company's servers are not decentralized apps, just normal web 2.0 apps that use Ethereum as a settlement layer. This is certainly an improvement from using a centralized payments or database provider, but these apps could still be instantly stopped if a powerful enough actor feels threatened by it.
We feel very strongly about Aragon Core being a true decentralized app,resistent to censorship, no matter who doesn't like a given organization or Aragon app, it should be up to each individual to decide whether they want to use it or not. This applies to Aragon itself, no matter if the team disappears overnight or if we are asked to shut down Aragon Core or a particular organization, we have architected the system to not have such power.
However, given the current state of the decentralized web infrastructure, we had to make some trade-offs to ensure our beta could be used by anyone with as little friction as possible.
It is worth noting that during our testnet beta, there is certainly less at stake than once we go to Mainnet. We are working on ways to easily create trustless local setups for people to use Aragon Core without relying on any piece of centralized infrastructure.
We always appreciate community contributions, so a big thank you to all the community members who contributed during Q1!
