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 Revenue Methodology

## 1. Overview

Aragon revenue represents the income generated by the Aragon protocol from fees charged to users. Currently, this metric is configured to report zero revenue, indicating that Aragon does not generate revenue from user fees. The metric provides a complete time series structure starting from the protocol's launch date to maintain consistency with Token Terminal's data framework and enable future revenue tracking if the protocol implements fee-generating mechanisms.

## 2. Data sources

The Aragon revenue calculation uses:
- **Static configuration data**: Hardcoded protocol metadata including launch date (April 6, 2017), chain classification (Ethereum), market sector (infrastructure), and business segment (other)
- **Temporal framework**: Token Terminal's standardized daily timestamp structure for consistent time series reporting
- **Schema validation**: Token Terminal's metric finalization framework for data quality and completeness

## 3. Step-by-step calculation

### Component A: Base fees calculation
- **Purpose**: Establishes the foundational dataset for fee tracking starting from protocol launch
- **Logic**: Creates a synthetic dataset beginning April 6, 2017 on Ethereum with all `fees` values set to 0. The data is structured with daily timestamp granularity and includes protocol classification metadata such as market sector (`infrastructure`) and business segment (`other`). No actual blockchain events or transaction data are processed since Aragon currently does not charge fees
- **Key fields**: `timestamp` (daily intervals), `chain_id` (Ethereum), `fees` (always 0), `market_sector_id`, `business_segment_id`, `product_id`

### Component B: Revenue derivation
- **Purpose**: Converts the fees dataset into a revenue metric following Token Terminal's standardized format
- **Logic**: References the fees component and explicitly sets all `revenue` values to 0, maintaining the same temporal and chain structure. This creates a complete revenue time series that accurately reflects Aragon's current non-fee-generating model while preserving the data framework for potential future revenue implementation
- **Key fields**: `timestamp`, `chain_id`, `revenue` (always 0), protocol classification fields

### Final aggregation
- **Combining components**: The revenue metric directly inherits the temporal structure from the fees component without additional aggregation since both contain zero values
- **Currency conversion**: Not applicable since all values are zero
- **Time aggregation**: Data is maintained at daily granularity from April 6, 2017 through the present day
- **Final calculation**: Revenue equals zero for all time periods, accurately reflecting Aragon's current fee-free operating model while maintaining data completeness for reporting consistency

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

Fee revenue retained after supply-side payouts. Before cost of revenue (e.g. L2 DA fees) and before operating expenses.
