Tip of the Day

The Tip of the Day this week is about the Gnosis Validator Incentive Program (VIP), a bounty program to expand the presence of Gnosis Chain validators across the world.

Currently, our node count by country clocks in at 76! While that’s an impressive number, we’re still missing another 119 counties to have a node in every country in the world. To achieve this goal, the Gnosis Builders designed the GnosisVIP. If you live in a country not yet on this map, check out all the bounties and incentives for spinning up a validator through the GnosisVIP.

🙏 Thank you
