🦉Gnosis Chain Weekly · 02 April 2024

HOPR published a proposal this week on the Gnosis Forum outlining the vision of GnosisVPN, a truly private and decentralized VPN on top of the HOPR mixnet! HOPR is a decentralized and incentivized peer-to-peer mixnet open to anyone who wants to join and run a node. Following the vision of Gnosis 3.0, HOPR is stepping up alongside successful projects such as Safe, CowSwap and karpatkey with a new product for the Gnosis ecosystem.
The initiative seeks support through a multi-year investment from the GnosisDAO. To strengthen Gnosis’ positioning as a leader in resilient web3 infrastructure, GnosisDAO would invest into HOPR to build GnosisVPN. The proposal is live on the Gnosis Forum. Please check it out!
Exciting news!

Gnosis Pay is clocking in an impressive total payment volume of 20% week after week. If they keep it up, Gnosis Pay will surpass Visas $12.3T annual payment volume in 1.5 years 😎
So far we could increase the total payment volume of @gnosispay each week by at least 20%. If we can keep this rate we will surpass Visas $12.3T annually payment volume in 1.5 years 😁🤡 pic.twitter.com/R2OVfRP4pB

🕵️♀️ Shutterized Gnosis Chain
In February, we announced that Project Shutter deployed contracts and activated a Keyper network for the Shutterized Gnosis Chain on the Gnosis Chain testnet Chiado. The team along with Gnosis core devs are currently in development on the Shutterized Gnosis Chain for mainnet. Stay tuned!
I think threshold encryption built into the protocol where trust assumptions overlap as much as possible with PoS trust assumptions comes close.

🍞 Breadchain x Gnosis
Over the last year of building and integrating the Bread Crowdstaking Application on Polygon, the team has decided to make a big change and move the application onto Gnosis Chain and its ecosystem. The Breadchain team also found Gnosis Pay to be an incredible unlock for increasing the usefulness of digital community currencies like BREAD. Now BREAD holders will soon be able to buy bread with their BREAD through a Gnosis Pay debit card! Welcome Breadchain!
