Slowly But Surely, and Then All At Once

Gnosis Chain has a strong commitment to censorship resistance. It's foundational to the design of the network and what keeps its credibly neutral. We also believe that the point of having Ethereum is to simply allow people to execute transactions. Everyday transactions onchain like paying for coffee. That's why we launched Gnosis Pay, the worlds first Decentralized Payment Network (DPN), removing the barriers between traditional finance and decentralized finance (DeFi). Gnosis Pay utilizes the resilience of Gnosis Chain and it's cheap transaction costs to deliver a payment network that gives users full custody of their funds with Visa compatibility.
imho there is a strong bull case for @gnosischain

retains a lot of the culture first present in ethereum. strong commitment to censorship resistance.
worst case scenario ethereum get's co-opted by an ETF or validation gets too centralized, @gnosischain starts to look pretty… https://t.co/uZBftXTxUn

🦉Updates
📢 Dencun Update Scheduled for Chiado
On the 31st of January 2024 at approximately 18:15:40 UTC, Epoch: 516608, Gnosis Chain's testnet, Chiado will implement the Dencun upgrade. The Gnosis Beacon Chain allows us to maintain parity with the Ethereum roadmap and future EIPs. Following Chiado, Dencun will be implemented on Gnosis Chain. The upgrade includes several changes, most notably the introduction of ephemeral data blobs with EIP-4844, also known as "protodanksharding", which will help reduce L2 transaction fees. For Gnosis Chain, the upgrade reduces transaction fees even further, below <$0.01 making it ideal for payments.
Gnosis Dencun scheduled for the Chiado testnet ✅

🌉 Hashi's Safe Crosschain
You can now control your Safes on any chain using just your main Safe! Powered by storage proofs and Hashi's block header propagation. Hashi is an EVM Hash Oracle Aggregator, designed to facilitate a principled approach to cross-chain bridge security. Congrats to the Hashi team on this major innovation!
How can you use a @safe on many chains? In such a way that if you set up recovery or change owner on a main chain, it affects your Safes on all chains? @hashialliance provides an answer here! https://t.co/fS361i0OEb

📂 Hashi Inegrates the xERC20 Open Standard
xERC20, created by Connext, is an open token standard that solves the problems token issuers face today without locking them into a single bridge or ecosystem. Hashi integrated the xERC20 token and along with Safe Junction, giving users and builders new levels of security and cross-chain liquidity when bridging digital assets.
Secure your cross-chain transfers with @hashialliance and the ultimate cross-chain open standard xERC20, providing an extra layer of protection against hacks and vulnerabilities!

⭐ Super-xToken
FRACTION's transformation into the first ‘Super‑xToken’ marks a pivotal chapter in the project's journey. With the support of Connext, FRACTION has integrated xERC20 token functionalities, placing it in a unique spot within the token landscape as the first one that is a pure SuperToken AND an xERC20 Token. This integration enables FRACTION to bridge across Gnosis Chain as well as a number of other networks.
NEW MILESTONE REACHED!
— Own a FRACTION (@fraction_token) January 15, 2024
1000 days after the project launched on @gnosischain, it's now not only a pure @Superfluid_HQ Supertoken, but also a @ConnextNetwork xERC20 Token as well!
