GIP-110: Should the Gnosis DAO create and fund a Gnosis Pay rewards program with 10k GNO?

🔴 Failed Quorum 16 August 2024

This proposal aims to create a cashback program for Gnosis Pay, benefiting GNO holders. The program will feature five tiers of cashback rewards, ranging from 1% to 4% based on the amount of GNO deposited in Gnosis Pay. An extra 1% (1pp) will be awarded to Gnosis Pay OG NFT holders. Rewards will be airdropped weekly to users ~7 days after their transactions, calculated based on the minimum GNO balance held during the week the payment was made. The rewards, measured in the currency of the payment, will be distributed in GNO using the Gnosis Chain GNO/USD, EUR/USD or GBP/USD Chainlink (or Chronicle for GBP) price feed at the time of distribution of the reward. A maximum of EUR 20,000, USD 22,000, or GBP 18,000 will be eligible to accrue rewards per month for every user.

GIP-111: Should the GnosisDAO fund the Ethereum Protocol Attackathon?

🔴 Failed Quorum 9 August 2024

Ethereum needs more security researchers to examine the codebase and help find vulnerabilities. As the ecosystem has grown, this is an excellent opportunity to co-fund an audit challenge with the Ethereum community.

The Ethereum Foundation (EF) invites sponsors to support the reward pool for the eight-week Ethereum Attackathon.

This event aims to enhance the security of the Ethereum protocol by organizing the largest crowdsourced security audit competition. The goal is to raise over $2 million, with $500,000 committed from the Ethereum Foundation.

GIP-107: Should the GnosisDAO form, in addition to the Gnosis Asset Holdings I Foundation, a legal conduit to continue to foster Gnosis´ decentralization goals?

✅ Passed Quorum 23 July 2024

The GnosisDAO (the “DAO”) approved, with the successful passage of GIP-94, the establishment of a legal conduit, Gnosis Asset Holdings I Foundation, which was set up to onboard Centrifuge Prime (as described in GIP-94) and to also hold other illiquid investments, including those made historically by the Gnosis Builders as described in GIP-96.

This proposal intends to seek a vote from the DAO to establish another legal conduit, the Gnosis Operations Foundation (the “Foundation”), to provide the DAO with an additional mechanism for executing work in a decentralized environment.

Should Gnosis DAO grant NodeSet funds to integrate their validator set with StakeWise?  Phase-1 Proposal

Hello Gnosis Community,

My name is Nick, and I’m a co-founder of NodeSet. I’m writing this post to raise discussion about NodeSet’s participation in Gnosis’s validator set. Is the Gnosis DAO willing to consider a grant to cover the development costs for integrating our large node operator community with the Gnosis deployment of StakeWise v3? This will allow us to offer Gnosis a robust, decentralized vault for GNO holders seeking to stake their assets while supporting independent stakers all over the world.
