Just hours after the Gnosis Merge last week on December 8th, 2022 Gnosis Chain went from being secured by 20 entities ever producing blocks on the legacy Proof-of-Authority consensus to over 200 validators participating in the new Proof-of-Stake consensus. According to Dune Analytics 111,064 validators are currently participating in consensus on Gnosis Chain. That number is second only to Ethereum. It also means that Gnosis Chain is far more decentralized than it was just one week ago.

In the coming years this number will continue to rise. Growing a geographically diverse community of validators around the world is critical to ensuring that Gnosis Chain is a credibly neutral, unstoppable network. Running a validator is easy with one-click solutions like DappNode and Avado. Only 1 GNO is required! To learn more, check out the brand new Gnosis website 😎

In the first 4 years (yes - so old already) of xDAI/Gnosis Chain not much more than ~20 entities ever had produced blocks. Now, a few hours after "the merge", this number has already crossed 200 and it will keep increasing!

GnosisDAO x MakerDAO

This week the GnosisDAO and MakerDAO announced a strategic alliance. Core contributor, Karpatkey authored the original proposal on the Maker Forum and lead coordination. Most importantly, the partnership will help to grow the Gnosis Chain ecosystem.

The DAI generated by the vault will be used to support the development of the Gnosis Chain ecosystem by expanding its protocols, improving its infrastructure, and keeping gas fees low. This will make Gnosis Chain even more attractive to users across the DeFi ecosystem.

GnosisDAO @GnosisDAO

We're super excited to announce an important strategic alliance with @MakerDAO!🤩🦉🤝 This partnership will help both of our organizations grow and make a bigger impact on the ecosystem. Let's work together and make some great things happen! Details below ⬇️

Gnosis Guild 🪐

Open Zeppelin x Zodiac

A composable design philosophy for DAOs, Zodiac is a collection of tools built according to an open standard. The Zodiac open standard enables DAOs to act more like constellations, connecting platforms, protocols, and chains, no longer confined to monolithic designs.

The Gnosis Guild team built a new Zodiac module for Open Zeppelin’s Governor. With the governor mod, multisigs can now easily become a DAO with on-chain voting by simply equipping an OpenZeppelin Governor contract as a Safe module.

Auryn.eth Ĝ⌣Ĝ @auryn_macmillan

We built a version of @OpenZeppelin's Governor as a Zodiac module! Now safes can easily, seamlessly, and progressively decentralize control; from @safe multisig to on-chain governance with @tallyxyz in a few clicks.

Azuro’s Bet of the Week on bookmaker.XYZ

It’s time for the weekly check-in with Azuro Protocol and their first betting front-end, bookmaker.xyz.

The World Cup finals are here!!! Croatia takes on Morocco on Saturday, and France - Argentina will battle it out on Sunday. 

We have recently added Basketball to XYZ after a lot of demand. Bettors have really enjoyed the action; our biggest bet this week came via the Atlanta Hawks - Charlotte Hornets game, with over 1000 xDAI bet at odds 1.8.

A final exciting update for this week is that we officially added 3 new sports and increased our esports variety. MMA, Boxing, Tennis, and League Of Legends have been added to the dapp.

It’s been a hugely exciting year for XYZ; next week, we’ll take a small break from bet-of-the-week and do a yearly wrap-up!

🙏 Thank you
