Gnosis Chain Makes Major Shift to Become Ethereum Rollup

Gnosis Chain is moving away from being a standalone Layer 1 blockchain. The team announced that the network will transition into an Ethereum based rollup. This means it will no longer maintain its own independent validator set, choosing instead to rely on Ethereum for security and settlement.

This structural change comes after a proposal passed through the GnosisDAO governance process. By settling on Ethereum, the chain aims to tighten its connection with the mainnet and simplify the technical requirements for its users. The developers believe this transition provides a more secure foundation for the future of the network.

For GNO stakers, this update changes the current reward structure and the technical role they play in the system. The team is now focused on the execution phase of this transition. Traders and users should watch for further updates on how this migration will affect transaction speeds and bridge operations in the coming months.
