Late last year we published, Gnosis: The Community-Run Chain where we foregrounded Gnosis Chain as a community-owned network.
A community-run chain secured by thousands of at-home stakers around the world is a credibly neutral, resilient chain because it’s credibly decentralized and resistant to censorship. It’s the eternal chain that’s impossible to turn off.
The at-home stakers, the node runners, the solo stakers - they all play a crucial role in securing the network and ensuring that it stays in the hands of the many, not the few. Yet, at-home stakers are merely one part of the puzzle of maintaining a community-run network.
As an organization dedicated to developing and growing a community-run chain, it’s important that we work in public, transparently. Internally, we are building a team wiki that will be available for anyone to read, making it easy for our community to gain a high-level overview of core development. We recently started publishing the weekly Core Dev Call, which can be found below 👇👇👇

As mentioned last week, on the roadmap for Q1 2023 are the Shanghai + Capella upgrades. We put together a blog post and staking guide so be sure to check that out if you’re a node runner 😎
