⚔️🦉Gnosis Chain Weekly · 06 February 2024

Gnosis Pay's flagship product and hotly anticipated Gnosis Card shipped this week! Cards will be shipped on a first come, first serve basis. Those who pre-ordered the cards earlier will be the first to receive them. The Gnosis Card is the world’s first officially Visa-certified self-custody consumer debit card directly connected to an onchain wallet instead of a traditional bank account, built on the Gnosis Pay decentralized payment network.

Gnosis co-founder, Dr. Friederike Ernst, joined The Scoop podcast for a deep dive on Gnosis Pay. Check out the fantastic interview below!

Finally, some beautiful and healthy alfalfa from Gnosis community member Haurog who hacked together a smart contract to claim, swap and forward Gnosis Chain validator rewards directly onto a Gnosis Pay account. Haurog won 1st prize in the recent Gnosis Chain Community Hackathon! Click the image below to access the GitHub GnoClaimSwapForward repo to run the contract. Thank you, Haurog for your wonderful contribution!

🌉 Hashi x Hyperlane

Hashi is an EVM Hash Oracle Aggregator, designed to facilitate a principled approach to cross-chain bridge security.

Hyperlane revolutionizes blockchain communication with an onchain API for cross-chain messages, solving modular isolation. It offers API-based data passing and customizable security, ensuring efficient, safe interchain interactions. Hyperlane Interchain Security Module (ISM) is part of the modular security provided by Hyperlane. Users can define their own ISM for their security preferences.

🔥 Hello, Burner Wallet!

Legendary buildooor Austin Griffith is the creator of Scaffold-ETH - everything you need to get started building decentralized applications on Ethereum and the Burner Wallet! For those that remember ETHDenver in 2018, attendees were given a Burner Wallet loaded with xDai for buying snacks from the food trucks.

The Burner Wallet worked in your mobile web browser like Safari so no app download and no seed phrase. It ran on Gnosis Chain (formerly xDai) so transactions always completed within five seconds. Onboarding was as easy as opening your camera and scanning a QR code.

Is Austin teasing a reprise of the Burner Wallet???
