GnosisDAO votes to transition Gnosis Chain into an Ethereum Economic Zone rollup, retiring its validator set and settling on Ethereum.
GnosisDAO approved a proposal to convert Gnosis Chain into an Ethereum Economic Zone (EEZ) rollup, retiring its independent validator set. The vote passed with 123,158 GNO in favor, exceeding the 75,000 quorum required.
The transition will enable Gnosis Chain to settle transactions directly on Ethereum, positioning it as a layer-2 network. The update aims to allow smart contracts on Gnosis Chain to interact with Ethereum mainnet assets and liquidity within the same transaction.
An initial launch is targeted for late 2026 or early 2027, pending the readiness of EEZ technology. The move marks the first production instance of the EEZ framework, developed with funding from the Ethereum Foundation.
