🦉🚀 Gnosis Pay's DeFi UX Breakthrough!

Martin Köppelmann, Gnosis co-founder, has published a thread this week showcasing the real-world power of DeFi, Gnosis Pay and Zeal. If you've ever wondered how crypto can seamlessly integrate into your daily life, check out Martin's tweet below. As he points out, DeFi wins because everything is built on open protocols, money legos, where teams can permissionlessly innovate to bring more value to everyday users.

As the world's first decentralized payment network, Gnosis Pay allows you to spend crypto anywhere Visa or SEPA are accepted, all while keeping full control of your assets. Built on the robust Safe SDK, it's bridging the gap between traditional finance and crypto like never before. Right now, get up to 5% cashback on your card payments with Gnosis Pay. Yes, you heard that right.

Gnosis Pay is also empowering other wallets and apps, fostering a thriving ecosystem of financial innovation.

🔮 What's next? More integrations are on the horizon, promising an even more connected and efficient financial future.

🚀 Hashi Migration Kickoff!

Hashi will be securing the Gnosis Chain bridge going forward! Hashi sets a new paradigm for security-first future-proof bridging, harnessing the power of both battle-tested and cutting-edge cross-chain solutions.The pilot phase of Gnosis Chain's canonical bridges migration to Hashi's additive framework has officially begun. Hashi is an EVM Hash Oracle Aggregator, designed to facilitate a principled approach to cross-chain bridge security. Here's what you need to know:

📊 Migration Phases:

  1. Pilot Phase (Current)
    • Hashi is an optional validator
    • Legacy validator set remains active
    • Legacy validation alone is sufficient to approve messages
  2. Roll-out Phase
    • Hashi becomes a mandatory validator
    • Legacy validators remain active
    • Hashi's consensus required to execute transactions
  3. Final Phase
    • Legacy validator set will be decommissioned
    • Hashi becomes the sole validator

🔒 Security First: This phased approach ensures a smooth transition while prioritizing security throughout the process.

Stay tuned for more updates as we progress through this exciting migration! This marks a significant step forward in Gnosis Chain's evolution and interoperability capabilities.

🌐🦉 Everclear Integration Boosts Chain Abstraction!

Everclear, the first Clearing Layer, is now live on Gnosis Chain!

Key Features of Everclear:

  1. Global Settlement Coordination: Everclear coordinates liquidity settlement between chains, dramatically reducing rebalancing costs for solvers and other actors.
  2. Scalable Chain Abstraction: This integration powers the next generation of user experience in modular blockchains.
  3. Intent-Focused Interactions: Users can focus on what they want to achieve, rather than worrying about which chain they're using.

Impact on Gnosis Chain:

• Enhanced User Experience: Chain Abstraction simplifies interactions for users, whether transferring funds or using dApps.
• Solver Empowerment: Solvers can more efficiently manage complex tasks across multiple protocols and chains.
• Ecosystem Growth: This integration supports the rise of solver networks and orchestration tools within the Chain Abstraction stack.

🛡️🦉 Shutter Network Integration Boosts Censorship Resistance

Gnosis Chain has become one of the most censorship-resistant blockchains, thanks to the integration of Shutter Network technology!

Key Features of Shutter on Gnosis Chain:

  1. Encrypted Mempools: Transactions are encrypted before entering the mempool, preventing preemptive censorship by validators.
  2. Threshold Encryption: A committee of Keypers must collectively agree to decrypt transactions, enhancing security and decentralization.
  3. Validator Neutrality: Validators commit to including encrypted transactions without knowing their content, ensuring fair treatment.

DeFi users on Gnosis Chain are now safer from front-running, ensuring fairer trading. By design, validators cannot censor or front-run transactions, potentially aiding in regulatory compliance. This technology tackles current MEV (Miner Extractable Value) issues, preserving the integrity of Gnosis Chain.


Shutter's integration sets a precedent for blockchain networks aiming for true censorship resistance, reinforcing Gnosis Chain's commitment to decentralization and freedom in the digital asset space.

Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to pioneer advancements in blockchain technology!
