⚔️ 🦉 Gnosis Chain Weekly · 16 June 2023
Resiliency and decentralization are yet again topics hitting the headlines across the crypto landscape as the SEC filed cases against Coinbase and Binance recently. Whether you believe the enforcement to be regulatory overreach or necessary growing pains, the cases highlight the importance of building open, resilient, and unstoppable networks. Gnosis Chain is committed to credible neutrality at the level of core protocol development. Without privilege or prejudice and irrespective of the content, all transactions should be treated the same on Gnosis Chain. We believe that this is only possible if the network is secured by a geographically diverse community of validators around the world. It's why the Gnosis Builders recently launched the Gnosis VIP program, a 5 million dollar project to increase the number and diversity of validators through exciting incentives. Check out the program to see if you qualify!
The topic of credible neutrality also resonates with the broader Ethereum community. In the coming weeks, we'll dive further into the close relationship between Gnosis Chain and Ethereum along with why they benefit each other. In the meantime, check out d14n.info, a real-time dashboard that measures the decentralization of Gnosis Chain and Ethereum networks. Stay tuned!

📖 Bookmaker.xyz Celebrates 1 Year on Gnosis Chain!
Unlike bookmakers where you have to deposit your money, so that you can bet, with bookmaker.XYZ you never make deposits or withdrawals. When you bet your money is locked into blockchain smart contracts which have pre-determined outcomes. Once the game/event finishes - the contract allows you to redeem your winnings (if you won 😉).
To mark the occasion, bookmaker.xyz is running a Twitter campaign.
