What Aragon is
Aragon (ANT) is a Layer-1 smart-contract platform, currently ranked 192nd by market capitalization among the assets we track. As a proof-of-stake Layer-1, Aragon hosts applications, settles their transactions, and lets ANT holders earn yield by helping validate. Capital at stake — not electricity — is what keeps the chain honest.
Aragon (ANT) is a decentralized platform that enables users to create and manage their own autonomous organizations on the Ethereum blockchain. It provides tools for governance, fundraising, and decision-making to empower communities and projects.
How consensus and the token economy connect
Validators propose and attest to blocks; honest behavior earns rewards, dishonest behavior burns the stake. That feedback loop is what lets Aragon finalize transactions without miners.
ANT is not mined; it is issued as a token rather than secured by its own mining or staking layer.
Background & fundamentals
Aragon first went live in 2017, giving it roughly 9 years of on-chain price history to draw on. Aragon operates under a centralized structure, which concentrates protocol decisions in an identifiable issuer or foundation. A documented core team of 18 contributors is listed publicly, a depth of disclosed staffing many long-tail tokens lack.
Its codebase is open-source, meaning the implementation can be audited rather than taken on trust. The project publishes a whitepaper documenting its original design, which is worth reading before sizing any position in ANT. CoinPaprika classifies the project's development status as "On-going development".
In sector terms it is most often filed under Smart Contracts, Ethereum (ETH) Token (ERC-20), and Finance & Banking.
Where Aragon sits in the market
With ANT near $3.90, Aragon carries a market capitalization of $168.24M. Around $402.38K changes hands across exchanges in a typical 24-hour window. That is a turnover of about 0.24% of the float — on the quieter side, which can mean thinner liquidity for large orders.
Aragon carries no fixed maximum supply; issuance follows a programmatic schedule rather than a hard cap. At the current $3.90, ANT sits essentially at its record high — the riskier end of the range for fresh entries.
What the price history shows
The tape currently reads 24-hour +3,897.50%, 7-day +4,189.70%.
Volatility profile
Recent action puts Aragon in the Extreme-volatility band — it is in a high-volatility regime — these are the conditions where outsized gains and losses both become more likely.
How to evaluate Aragon
For an asset of this type, three lenses matter most:
- Real usage — active addresses, fees paid, and total value locked — does on-chain demand justify the valuation?
- Staking economics — the share of ANT staked, the yield, and unlock/queue dynamics that govern liquid supply.
- Ecosystem depth — how many applications and how much liquidity have chosen Aragon over competing Layer-1s.
