⚔️🦉Gnosis Chain Weekly · 20 February 2024
The Dencun upgrade is on the horizon for Gnosis Chain, scheduled two days ahead of the upgrade for the Ethereum Mainnet. Gnosis Chain is designed to extend Ethereum with the networks Beacon Chain and node architecture, making it fully EVM compatible. Gnosis is committed to contributing to the research, engineering and tooling for Ethereum's stack. Performing the Dencun upgrade ahead of Ethereum is a major milestone achievement. It means that Ethereum core developers have a chance to witness Dencun live on Gnosis Chain prior to their scheduled upgrade. Expect Gnosis Chain to continue along this path for major EIPs while maintaining 1:1 parity with Ethereum!
In other news, Gnosis Pay cards continue to arrive at doorsteps and mailboxes across Europe!
The Gnosis cards are self-custodial, Visa-powered, built with Zodiac and powered by a Safe{Wallet}. You can send any EVM-compatible token to your Gnosis Pay Safe and spend your assets at any Visa terminal in the world. This is just the beginning of many exciting unlocks with the Gnosis Pay card!
Let's jump into this weeks update!
