Aragon develops smart contract frameworks and other products which is funded by Aragon treasury.

Aragon develops and manages smart contract frameworks for creating and managing decentralized organizations. Aragon was founded by Luis Cuende and Jorge Izquierdo and launched in 2016.



ANT tokenholders own and govern the protocol. Aragon does not currently charge fees for providing the smart contract frameworks. Aragon's investors include Tim Draper, Boost VC, CoinFund, etc.

# Aragon Fees Methodology

## 1. Overview

The Aragon fees metric represents the total fees generated by the Aragon protocol. This metric is currently implemented as a static zero-value metric, indicating that Aragon either does not generate fees through its protocol operations or fee tracking has not yet been implemented. The metric serves as a placeholder in Token Terminal's standardized metrics framework and is enabled for Bloomberg terminal integration.

## 2. Data sources

This metric does not rely on any raw blockchain data sources or external data feeds. Instead, it uses:
- **Static configuration**: A hardcoded start date of April 6, 2017, representing Aragon's protocol launch
- **Default values**: All fee values are set to zero across the entire time series

## 3. Step-by-step calculation

### Component A: Static metric generation
- **Purpose**: Generate a standardized fees metric structure for Aragon with zero values
- **Logic**: The calculation creates a single record with a timestamp set to April 6, 2017 (Aragon's launch date), assigns protocol metadata including Ethereum as the primary chain, infrastructure as the market sector, and 'other' as the business segment. The `fees` field is explicitly set to 0, and the `product_id` is set to null indicating no product-level breakdown
- **Key fields**: The `timestamp` field uses daily granularity, `chain_id` is set to 'ethereum', `fees` is hardcoded to 0

### Final aggregation
- **Time series expansion**: The `finalize_metric_fees` macro with 'fill_zeros' strategy expands the single zero-value record into a complete daily time series from the launch date through the present day
- **Data validation**: The macro applies Token Terminal's standard metric schema validation and ensures no gaps exist in the time series
- **Chain availability filtering**: The `apply_chain_availability_filter` ensures the metric aligns with Token Terminal's chain availability constraints and data quality standards
- **Final calculation**: Every day from April 6, 2017 to present shows zero fees, indicating either that Aragon does not charge protocol fees or that fee tracking implementation is pending

*This methodology was automatically generated by Token Terminal's methodology analyzer.*

Total value users pay to use a protocol (gross fees, user-paid fees).
