🦉Updates
⚖️ GnosisDAO Invests in HOPR to Develop GnosisVPN
After the recent passage of GIP-98: Should GnosisDAO invest in HOPR to kickstart development of GnosisVPN, the GnosisDAO announced a $1.5M and 500 GNO token investment into HOPR, a decentralized and incentivized peer-to-peer mixnet open to anyone who wants to join and run a node. HOPR will pioneer the development of GnosisVPN; a fully private, censorship resistant data exchange between peers that runs on HOPR's mixnet.
With this investment, current HOPR node runners will receive 1 GNO so they can run a Gnosis Beacon Chain validator!
🚀 EIP-7251 on Gnosis Chain
Huge news for Gnosis Chain validators - EIP-7251 is scheduled for Gnosis Chain on the next hard-fork, Electra! EIP-7251 permits large node operators to consolidate into fewer validators while also allowing solo-stakers to earn compounding rewards and stake in more flexible increments. The update simplifies operations for solo-stakers, saving them a significant amount of time and effort.
🌾 Spark x Gnosis Chain
Gnosis Chain expands its set of stablecoins with the MakerDAO recently voting to onboard sxDAI, EURe, USDC and USDT on Spark. Users can now deposit sDAI to take advantage of its yield, and borrow USDT, USDC, and EURe. Dive into the details by clicking on the MakerDAO proposal below.
💶 Gnosis Pay Hits 1M Total Spent Using Gnosis Cards
After launching less than a year ago, Gnosis Pay hits the landmark milestone of 1 Million Euros being spent on Gnosis Cards. 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's decentralized payment network.
Hype cycles comes and go. The window dressing changes. Prices go up, down and back up again. The never ending stream of memes either make you laugh or recoil. Regardless of the flavor of the week, Gnosis keeps doing what it does best - building principled technology with a focus on the fundamentals. Congrats to the Gnosis Pay team for hitting the 1M milestone!
⭕ Circles Announces New Roadmap
Circles announced that Gnosis will take over the responsibility of developing Circles. A new team, aboutcircles , has been established to continue developing Circles at the protocol and application level. The new Circles team is managing the maintenance of the Circles assets previously held by the Coop, including http://circles.garden. Check out the thread below for more detailed information about the exciting announcement!
