Crypto exchanges are rushing to list Aragon, but what is it?

Three major crypto exchanges listed Aragon's ANT tokens yesterday, causing an immediate price bump and frantic Google searches for what the protocol does.

Using Aragon's blockchain tools, organizations can create Ethereum-based smart contracts and file-sharing for a building a fully decentralized, peer-to-peer operating system.

That's not an endpoint: Aragon can also be used to create non-decentralized digital organizations as well.

The project is fully open-source and led by the Aragon Foundation based in Switzerland.

Three exchanges list ANT. Aragon, eventually, hopes to create a self-sustaining organization like what Yearn Finance and Compound are currently doing.

Big thanks to the teams for their intense push in recent days to make $ANT more accessible for millions of people 🌐. The announcements 👇. - Aragon August 13, 2020.

Binance, Huobi, and OKEx - all Asia-focused exchanges - listed Aragon within the space of 24 hours on August 13-14.

Binance is moving quickly to list DeFi tokens, with commentators on Twitter stating exchange might lose out to Uniswap if they don't move swiftly in that regard.
