OSx is Aragon’s smart contract framework for creating onchain organizations: accounts that can hold assets, execute actions, install plugins, and manage permissions. It lets teams define how an organization can act, who can trigger those actions, and how the system can securely adapt over time.

Rather than forcing every organization into a monolithic governance model, OSx lets builders compose the permissions, plugins, and interfaces they need.

Permissions are the core control primitive in OSx. They define which accounts, contracts, or plugins can perform specific actions for an organization.

Plugins are permissioned contracts that extend what an OSx-based organization can do. They can implement governance, membership, execution workflows, integrations, or other scoped logic.

Each plugin should be narrow and auditable, so teams can compose capabilities without giving every component broad control.

Explore the OSx Plugin Template and publish your own plugin to extend any OSx-based organization with new permissioned functionality.

The Governance UI Kit and Governance App Template help you build custom applications and UIs for OSx-based organizations, plugins, permissions, and proposals.

We’re here to help you build an OSx organization, plugin, or custom governance application.
