GnosisDAO Governance Summary ~ 01 May 2024

Hello Gnoseers!

The last governance update highlighted the batch of proposals regarding the final stages of Centrifuge Prime, a program that gives the GnosisDAO treasury exposure to real-word assets (RWAs).

HOPR also published a proposal on the Gnosis Forum outlining the vision of GnosisVPN, a truly private and decentralized VPN on top of the HOPR mixnet! HOPR is a decentralized and incentivized peer-to-peer mixnet open to anyone who wants to join and run a node.

All of the proposals were pushed to Snapshot, voted on and, subsequently, passed quorum.

We'll see you in Berlin! Let's dive into the governance update.

⚡ Snapshot ⚡

GIP-90: Should Gnosis.eth update its ENS resolver to resolve .GNO domains on Gnosis Chain?

✅ Passed Quorum Apr 19, 2024

.GNO domains is launching on Gnosis Chain, with one of the key features being a CCIP resolver that resolves .GNO domains on ENS. For this to be implemented gnosis.eth is required to update its resolver to the new CCIP resolver being developed.

GIP-94: Should the GnosisDAO approve the “Gnosis Assets Holding I Foundation” for onboarding into Centrifuge Prime?

✅ Passed Quorum Apr 10, 2024

This Proposal is an Update to GIP-91
Centrifuge is pleased to announce the successful snapshot vote on GIP-91 which brings GnosisDAO a large step closer in its ability to diversify the treasury into real-word assets (RWAs). Centrifuge received an overwhelming 96.99% of the governance vote in the snapshot that closed on January 29th. The proposal targeted initial allocations of $10m USD into Centrifuge Prime, through pools such as Anemoy LTF, New Silver, and other available pools.

GIP-95: karpatkey DAO Service Extension

✅ Passed Quorum Apr 10, 2024

After the approval of GIP-20 4 and GIP-58 5, at karpatkey DAO we have been working steadily on the management of GnosisDAO’s treasury. Similar to other treasuries we manage, we have seen the interest of DAOs to diversify their treasuries by adding exposure to real world assets (“RWA”) as well as interacting with real world entities for services in the interest of GnosisDAO.

We therefore propose that the scope of the treasury management services as carried out presently, be expanded to cater for the possibility to invest in RWA.

GIP-96: Should the GnosisDAO allow the legal conduit being set up to onboard Centrifuge Prime, to also hold other investments, including those made by the Gnosis Builders prior to their dissolution?

✅ Passed Quorum Apr 10, 2024

With the Dissolution of the Gnosis Builders, the bulk of the funds as approved under GIP-38, and not yet spent, have been returned to the DAO. Some investments are, however, currently illiquid as they were invested by the Gnosis Builders in early stage projects. Such investments inherently carry a lesser degree of liquidity, and may contain conditions relating to vesting, lock-ups, future delivery obligations (e.g. upon the occurrence of a token generation or other trigger event) etc…

This proposal intends to seek a vote from the GnosisDAO to enable the legal conduit, Gnosis Asset Holdings I Foundation (the “Foundation”), which is being set up to onboard Centrifuge Prime as described in the update to GIP-91 posted here as GIP-94 3, to also hold other illiquid investments, including those made historically by the Gnosis Builders.

GIP-97 - karpatkey SafeDAO <> GnosisDAO Joint Treasury Delegation

✅ Passed Quorum Apr 13, 2024

With the SafeDAO having achieved all milestones laid out in SEP #3 and approaching its token transferability, we propose to delegate treasury management of the joint SafeDAO <> GnosisDAO treasury to karpatkey.

This proposal is being passed in duplicate through Safe governance: https://forum.safe.global/t/draft-karpatkey-safe-dao-treasury-management-core-unit/4893?u=karpatkey. With the passing of this proposal, GIP-97, GnosisDAO shall vote favourably on the corresponding SafeDAO proposal.

GIP-98: Should GnosisDAO invest in HOPR to kickstart development of GnosisVPN?

✅ Passed Quorum Apr 23, 2024

To strengthen Gnosis’ positioning as a leader in resilient web3 infrastructure, GnosisDAO would invest into HOPR to foster Gnosis’ focus on privacy. HOPR would then build Gnosis VPN, a truly private and decentralized VPN on top of the HOPR mixnet. To increase Gnosis DAO’s oversight, this effort will be split into two: this proposal and a follow up proposal for further development after initial work has been presented within 9 months.

GIP-99: Should Gnosis Guild steward GnosisDAO Governance?  Phase-2 Proposal Closes May 11, 2024

Gnosis Guild proposes to steward GnosisDAO governance, guiding a new phase of innovation, experimentation, and growth. As GnosisDAO continues allocating resources to Gnosis Chain, Gnosis Pay, and other mission-aligned ventures, our team will drive the DAO’s governance strategy and operations through dedicated R&D, technical implementation, and ongoing stewardship.

While Gnosis Guild has been actively contributing to the maintenance and improvement of GnosisDAO governance since its inception, this proposal will formalize a long-term partnership that prioritizes the following objectives:

• Improve, maintain, and secure GnosisDAO governance infrastructure.
• Foster the growth and further decentralization of the Gnosis Ecosystem.
• Position GnosisDAO as leading innovators of DAO governance.
