GnosisDAO passed GIP-153 via a Snapshot vote on August 19 (approval rate approximately 99.78%, reaching the quorum threshold). Gnosis Chain will transition from an independent Layer 1 to a ZK Rollup with Ethereum settlement anchored, and will retire its independent validator set (which previously exceeded 100,000 nodes). The proposal will unlock about 350,000 staked GNO (approximately 27% of the circulating supply) to become transferable. In terms of impact, the utility of staking for GNO will disappear; the token economics model will face restructuring; and it also reflects the trend of Ethereum rollup integration. This decision is directional authorization, with the first targeted EEZ block scheduled for late 2026 to early 2027. $GNO is for informational reference only and does not constitute investment advice.
