⚔️ 🦉 Gnosis Chain Weekly · 12 May 2023
Springtime in Shapella
Welcome to the new Gnosis Chain Weekly Recap on Ghost! If you're reading this via email that means you subscribed to this newsletter. Please note, you may unsubscribe at any time.
Gnosis Chain’s Beacon Chain architecture means that compatibility with Ethereum is locked in. That means all future EIPs can be implemented on Gnosis Chain. It also means that GIPs (Gnosis Improvement Proposals) for Gnosis Chain can be implemented on Ethereum, should the upgrade prove to be valuable to the broader ecosystem.
Core devs diligently work to push upgrades from the Ethereum mainnet onto Gnosis Chain in a timely manner. The most immediate being the Shanghai and Capella upgrades to shadow the Ethereum roadmap. As the first initial step towards completing the upgrade, Gnosis Chain’s Chiado testnet will hard fork soon. In the coming weeks, the upgrade will take place on Gnosis Chain’s mainnet.
Shanghai will enable GNO staking withdrawals for Gnosis Chain. Shanghai is the name given to the execution layer (EL) upgrade and Capella is the name of the coinciding consensus layer (CL) upgrade. Shapella refers to the combination of both Shanghai and Capella into one name.
Run a Chiado node and support the network ahead of the Shapella upgrade on the Gnosis Chain mainnet! Resources are linked below ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Gelato Network 🍨🍨🍨
The Gelato community took steps this week to increase the decentralization of their node operators. The proposal is the first step in turning Gelato into a fully permissionless network of node operators. Gelato is web3’s decentralized backend empowering builders to create augmented smart contracts that are automated, gasless & off-chain on all major EVM-compatible blockchains.
Today marks a decisive step toward the decentralization of @gelatonetwork 🙏🏻
— Luisa (@gitpusha) May 8, 2023
I just posted the proposal to kick off $GEL staking for Wave I of Gelato Node Operators, including:
- @BwareLabs
