🦉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!
GnosisDAO has decided on a combined investment of US$1.5M and 500 GNO tokens in @hoprnet, a pioneer in providing fully private, uncensorable data exchange between peers, to undertake the development of the fully decentralised GnosisVPN.

Will GnosisVPN prevent censorship?
— Sebastian | HOPR (@SCBuergel) April 29, 2024
I'm glad you asked! Let's dive into what censorship even means here and if GnosisVPN (that was approved last week by @GnosisDAO to be built) will help
Spoiler: Yes, it will :)

🚀 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.
EIP-7251 (Increase the MAX_EFFECTIVE_BALANCE) has been included in the next hard-fork Electra.
— Gnosis Chain 🦉 (@gnosischain) March 26, 2024
This proposal will allow stakers to consolidate way more than 1 $GNO into each index, up to 64 $GNO.

💶 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.
Huge milestone: €1,000,000 total spent using Gnosis Cards! 🔥

We’ve built the world’s first on-chain self custodial checking account and are only just getting started… 🦉💳
Stay tuned for later, we have something in the works 👀 pic.twitter.com/SU0b7yW3ku
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!
Sometimes, memes, narratives, and price can really accelerate things, but most of the time they are simply a distraction. We choose to focus on the fundamentals that will stay, even if 'the current thing' changes. pic.twitter.com/JFWd2gZMbJ
