Gnosis Chain Shifts Toward Ethereum Rollup Model with GNO Governance Approval

GnosisDAO has given its approval to GIP-153, paving the way for Gnosis Chain to transition into an Ethereum rollup model. The proposal passed with a significant majority of 123,158 GNO voting in favor.

The plan would see Gnosis Chain settle on Ethereum and inherit its security features, while gas would still be paid in xDAI. This target is set for late 2026 or early 2027.

This move marks a significant change of direction for Gnosis Chain, which has long operated as an independent Layer 1 network. By moving towards the Ethereum rollup model, it will become part of the Ethereum Economic Zone and benefit from the security that comes with it.
