⚔️ 🦉 Gnosis Chain Weekly · 10 March 2023

Hey Shapella 😏

We are fast approaching Ethereum’s Shanghai + Capella upgrade (informally known as Shapella). Shanghai is the name given to the execution layer (EL) upgrade and Capella is the name of the coinciding consensus layer (CL) upgrade, thus the merging of the two names. Gnosis Chain is capable of implementing this important upgrade due to its Beacon Chain architecture, making it fully compatible with Ethereum. The most important feature of the upgrade enables GNO staking withdrawals for Gnosis Chain, which is currently not possible.

How will withdrawals work on Gnosis?

Withdrawals are handled by a smart contract on Gnosis, specifically implemented for execution layer clients. The contract is the same deposit contract that validators use to stake their GNO. The withdrawal pays out in GNO by unwrapping mGNO.

What do Validators need to do?

Both Execution and Consensus clients Nethermind/Erigon and Lighthouse/Teku/Lodestar/Nimbus have yet to push the upgrade. The Gnosis Chain team will share all up-to-date info across our channels to make sure that validators are equipped to upgrade their clients!

Actions from validators for withdrawals:

For any type of withdrawals:

• 0x01 withdrawal credentials are required (see image below)

  • No action is required if you used --eth1_withdrawal_address to create your keys!

  • If not, tooling will be made available.

To cash out completely:

• Initiate voluntary exit:

  • This depends on your consensus layer client.

Tooling for 0x00 to 0x01 address conversions (available soon):

In the coming weeks we will publish a series of tutorials and videos to prepare validators for the Shapella upgrade. Stay tuned for more! Let’s jump into this weeks updates!

Gnosis Chain withdrawals are happening soon 🔥 How are @gnosischain withdrawals different to Ethereum? TLDR; same same but Ethereum mints ETH, Gnosis disperses GNO 🧵👇

The Ethereumverse 🐼🦉🐼🦉

Gnosis co-founder and GnosisDAO core contributor, Martin Koeppelman, delivered a talk at ETHDenver titled, ‘The Limits of L2s’ where he introduced the concept of the Ethereumverse. Check out the full talk below: ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Stefan George, Gnosis co-found and GnosisDAO core contributor, also weighed in on the topic ⬇️

Stefan George 🇺🇦 @StefanDGeorge

1/12 The #1 question we are getting is "Why is Gnosis Chain not an L2?". L2s are NOT the silver bullet for solving scalability. The "Ethereumverse" will complement the L2 strategy creating block space to scale to future demand. This is why:

Trust minimized zk-proof-of-consensus bridges are coming to @gnosischain! Participate in the ceremony!

Succinct @SuccinctLabs

Something is coming... 🪄 We've been hard at work the past few months cooking up some circuits that we're excited to bring to the public. To do so, we need to perform a trusted setup ceremony. If you would like to be a part of it, apply here: https://t.co/xgEKiQuhjv https://t.co/0MmWZHwF0L

GnosisDAO x Hashi #️#️#️

Auryn MacMillan, Gnosis Guild lead and GnosisDAO contributor, announced Hashi this week. Hashi is a multisig for bridges. It is a very simple, easily auditable smart contract, with a relatively small attack surface, for aggregating and distributing trust between any number of disparate header oracle mechanisms. To learn how Hashi adds additional security to bridges, check out Auryn’s tweet below.

Auryn.eth Ĝ⌣Ĝ @auryn_macmillan

A more secure bridge endpoint MUST only report a valid header / message upon consensus between multiple underlying mechanisms, rather than being entirely dependent on just one. To this end, we’ve started working on Hashi. A header oracle aggregator.
