PS. You can find our previous Delegate Thread, including all our initial statements and detailed voting rationales here:
Rationale: We support this proposal as it aligns with GnosisDAO’s mission to foster ecosystem growth by financing the GnosisVC fund. This investment will leverage $20m from GnosisDAO, matched by $20m from external LPs, to fuel early-stage projects within the focused growing verticals of RWAs, decentralized infrastructure, and financial payment rails. By integrating and incubating these ventures, the proposal aims to drive innovation, adoption, and synergies within the Gnosis ecosystem, ultimately enhancing its value and impact.
Rationale: We support this proposed marketing campaign because we believe it will significantly boost awareness and adoption of the Shutterized Gnosis Chain, emphasizing its unique benefits like protection against malicious MEV and censorship. With a comprehensive plan that includes PR efforts and community engagement at major events, we can ensure a successful launch, attract more users, and enhance the overall ecosystem of Gnosis Chain.
Rationale: We support the enhanced features and improvements outlined in the proposal for the Gnosischa.in Explorer. However, we voted against the proposal due to the additional $100,000 integration fee, which we believe is unnecessary for a continuation of the existing service. We will vote in favor of the proposal once this fee is removed.
After reassessment, We now support GIP-105. The $100,000 initially proposed as an integration fee has been restructured into a strategic investment in beaconcha.in, aligning it with Gnosis long-term interests. This change from a mere cost to an investment in Gnosis’s infrastructure justifies a favorable vote.
Rationale: We support this proposal because the creation of the Gnosis Operations Foundation, a legal conduit that will enhance GnosisDAO’s operational capabilities and enable it to engage more effectively with traditional legal and financial systems. This foundation will facilitate the DAO’s ability to execute contracts, manage fiat transactions, and handle IP rights, thereby improving overall operational efficiency.
Rationale: We support this proposal as we have witnessed several instances of spam on the Gnosis Snapshot space. This measure will enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of our governance process by ensuring that only relevant and well-considered proposals are presented for voting.
Rationale: We support this proposal because it aligns with GnosisDAO’s mission to build and enhance decentralized infrastructure for the Ethereum ecosystem. As a DAO with a strong commitment to security and innovation, contributing to this comprehensive security audit not only strengthens the Ethereum protocol but also directly benefits the Gnosis Chain, which shares a similar architecture and vulnerabilities. This collaboration ensures trust and interoperability between Gnosis and Ethereum, increases Gnosis’ visibility within the community, and demonstrates our commitment to community-driven security improvements and the continuous enhancement of decentralized technologies.
We support this proposal because it’s a great growth hack that effectively incentivizes user engagement and retention within the Gnosis ecosystem. By offering a tiered cashback program through Gnosis Pay, it encourages both small and large GNO holders to participate, while the additional rewards for OG NFT holders add further appeal. This program is a low-risk, high-reward initiative for the DAO, leveraging the opportunity cost of unstaked GNO, and its transparent implementation ensures trust. It’s a cost-effective strategy to drive user interaction and long-term growth for Gnosis Chain.
