GnosisDAO Governance Summary ~ 17 October 2024

Earlier this month we announced a fresh new brand identity for Gnosis and launched gnosis.io! Along with the new look, the website is organized around a brand hierarchy that simplifies our vibrant ecosystem by placing everything under the broader Gnosis umbrella and its governance token GNO. With the launch of gnosis.io, Gnosis is now a composite of:

Gnosis Studios — the home for 1st party products like Pay, Metri, Circles and Hashi.

GnosisVC — the home for our past portfolio of ~70 investments and the contact point for future investments.

Gnosis Spinouts — where we celebrate past projects like Safe and CoW.

GnosisDAO — where we communicate how to participate in the decentralized governance of the whole project.

Gnosis Chain — the same original content of Gnosis Chain, with an autonomous brand from 'Gnosis'.

About — where we tell a full brand history.

In the past, we quietly shipped. Now is the time to tell the world about Gnosis and why we're positioned well to scale consumer crypto. Our new site highlights Gnosis' foundational role in products like Polymarket, the staggering AUM of Safe, and our S-tier VC portfolio. This will help us build trust as we launch more consumer applications, especially for folks who've never encountered Gnosis before.

Visit our new website gnosis.io to explore how we're shaping the future of decentralized finance and beyond.

Join us in our mission to create a more inclusive digital economy!

GIP 112: Should the Gnosis Infrastructure team make changes to the GnosisDAO’s Snapshot configurations?

✅ Passed Quorum 09 September 2024

The Gnosis Infrastructure team is aiming to improve data availability for the GnosisDAO’s subgraphs being consumed by the Snapshot Space.

• As part of the task there is a need for adopting the right indexing solution which must provide highly available data for the subgraphs running on Gnosis Chain and Ethereum Mainnet which, in turn, are consumed by the Snapshot space.
• There is a need for improving the current Snapshot strategy called GNO voting power, which needs to reflect all the available options such as GNO deposits made through Safe sponsored calls that allows locked GNO to be used for voting.
• GIP-101 passed and requires weighted choice voting for the community to elect 10 delegate candidates. However, weighted choice voting is not compatible with the Reality.eth module used to power the GnosisDAO’s Snapshot space. The most viable solution is to open an official Snapshot sub-space with weighted choice voting enabled. In addition to updating the Snapshot subgraphs detailed above, the Gnosis Infrastructure team will open a Snapshot sub-space to enable weighted choice voting should this proposal pass quorum.

Proposed Changes

The subgraphs for GNO voting power, which are currently running as best effort on Ethereum and Gnosis Chain, will necessarily need to be re-deployed on The Graph Decentralized network. As a result of the re-deploy process a new value for the SUBGRAPH_URL in the Snapshot space configuration will be generated.

This value must be filled in the Snapshot configuration. Any modifications to the GnosisDAO’s Snapshot settings must be voted on by the DAO and executed via the DAO’s multi-sig.

GIP-114: Should GnosisDAO support an annual renewal for Blockscout SLA and hosting services - October 2024 - October 2025? 

⚖️ Voting Concludes 18 October 2024

Blockscout continues to be an integral part of the Gnosis ecosystem, providing critical blockchain explorer services for both the Gnosis mainnet and Chiado testnet. The open-source explorer has not only attracted and retained users but has also become an indispensable tool for Gnosis developers. We propose to continue our partnership, offering enhanced services and cutting-edge features to further elevate the Gnosis user experience.
