🦉Gnosis Chain Weekly · 09 April 2024

The GnosisDAO community approved the proposal to integrate Hashi, the additive security framework into Gnosis Chain's canonical bridges last week on April 2nd, 2024. The positive result of the vote marks a significant step forward in cross-chain security and interoperability. 

The Hashi upgrade significantly enhances the security and decentralization of these bridges. The integration introduces advanced security measures, mitigates systemic risks, and ensures the Gnosis Chain ecosystem remains resilient against the evolving landscape of security threats.

Many thanks to the Bootnode crew for their dedicated efforts in rolling out these significant improvements!

🤖 The Return of Prediction Markets

Gnosis originally set out to build a decentralized prediction market platform back in 2015. The team quickly discovered that they needed to build the infrastructure required to create such a platform. Prediction markets are exchange-traded markets where individuals stake on the outcome of an event. They are a vehicle for aggregating relevant information about the expected outcome of a future event. Prediction markets enable deeper information discovery ranging from the outcome of political events to applications that solve for resource allocation in complex domains. These markets also need liquidity which proved to be a major pain point in scaling them. With the advent of autonomous AI agents who can participate in prediction markets, the issue of liquidity has been solved. Agents, motivated to make a profit, have the ability to place simultaneous bets on prediction markets. Even if their earnings are modest, they add up over time! Stay tuned to learn more about why Gnosis has returned to developing a decentralized prediction market platform!

⚖️ GnosisDAO Governance Proposals

A batch of three major Gnosis Improvement Proposals (GIPs) are live on Snapshot and concluding on the 10th of April, 2024. The proposals relate to the DAOs onboarding into Centrifuge Prime after GIP-91 passed in December of 2023. Centrifuge Prime allows a dedicated infrastructure to be built for DAOs and protocols that provides the necessary resources and functions to allocate, manage, and tokenize a robust and diversified portfolio of real world assets, at scale. To learn more the proposals and vote with your GNO, please read the informative thread from the GnosisDAO linked below!
