- **Aragon OSx Under the Hood 🏎️**
Let's take a closer look at the contracts behind your DAO on OSx!
Modularity allows organizations to be adaptable, because you can add and remove functionality as needed.
Here’s how our core contracts enable modular DAOs 👇
**In a nutshell, your Aragon OSx DAO consists of three pieces:**
1️⃣ The DAO contract
2️⃣ The Permission Manager
3️⃣ Plugins
Here’s how each piece works:
**1️⃣ The DAO contract: where the core functionality of the protocol lies. It's in charge of:**
🪪 Representing the identity of the DAO (dao.eth name, metadata)
💰 Keeping the treasury
🎬 Executing arbitrary actions to transfer assets, call its own functions, etc.
**2️⃣ The permission manager: part of the DAO contract and the center of our protocol architecture.**
⛔️ It specifies which addresses have permission to call distinct functions on contracts associated with your DAO.
**3️⃣ Plugins: any custom functionality can be added/removed, allowing you to fully customize your DAO. They can relate to:**
🗳️ Governance (token voting, 1-person 1-vote)
💰 Asset management (ERC-20/NFT minting, token streaming)
🙋🏽♀️ Membership (access control, member curation)
DAOs on Aragon OSx are modular and adaptable because all functionality can be added, removed, and upgraded through plugins 🔌
After your DAO is deployed, you will always have the flexibility to adapt your governance to meet your future needs!

- **Announcing a Proof of Concept for Private Voting on Ethereum 🔐 💡**
Aragon ZK Research and Aztec delivered a proof of concept for private voting for Nouns DAO as part of the Nouns Prop House private voting research sprint! 🏁
In the research sprint, they sought to answer the following primary question 👇
Up to which point is it possible to build a **user-friendly**, **trustless** (decentralized), **fair** (no one can count votes before a given time), **weighted** (voting power depends on the amount of tokens hold/delegated) and **ballot-secret** (it is impossible to link a voter with a choice) voting system in Ethereum?
**Answer:** With the promising progress on both research and development achieved throughout the sprint, it is very possible.
