GIP-112 UPDATE
Hello everyone,
As mentioned, the GnosisDAO multisig owners executed the transaction for GIP-112 allowing the Infrastructure team to complete their maintenance work. The subgraphs have been fully migrated to the Graph Network, a decentralized data indexing and query protocol, and they are operational on the GnosisDAO’s Snapshot space.
The updates were critical for ensuring that the GnosisDAO’s governance surfaces remain resilient and secure. We’d like to take this opportunity to provide more details about the work we, as the Infrastructure team, did during the past weeks and the plans we have moving forward.
As part of GIP-112 the Gnosis Infrastructure team was granted permissions to work on revamping the subgraphs being consumed in the Snapshot space and aligning them to the current Gnosis ecosystem and removing lesser-used protocols.
All these changes have been publicly shared with the community and were accepted through a public Snapshot vote (GIP-112). The Infrastructure team brought the subgraphs to completion by publishing two new subgraphs to The Graph Network. These subgraphs point to Ethereum mainnet and Gnosis Chain respectively as we want to track voting power on both networks. The old subgraphs, which were still running on the hosted service, have been completely shut off.

Thanks to the Subgraph explorer you can have a technical overview on the status of the subgraphs at any moment:
Every new subgraph has an owner running on the Arbitrum network. As the Infrastructure team, we care about security, for this reason we have opted for having a Safe as the owner of the subgraphs. This is a step forward towards having an enhanced best in-class security in the management of the subgraphs which previously were tied just to a single account’s entity.
It’s important to clarify that the release of a new version of the subgraphs, namely, publishing a new version of these subgraphs, requires the owners in the Safe to propose a transaction and to reach a consensus on the execution. We want to introduce a clear and transparent process when releasing a new version. The infrastructure team will publish updates on the forum anytime upcoming and future improvements about the subgraphs are planned. Doing so will ensure that everyone remains aware of the changes and has the opportunity to contribute to keeping the subgraphs tidy and aligned with the Gnosis ecosystem.
Moving forward, we want to introduce additional improvements to cover GNO deposits and validators, which play a crucial role in providing network stability and are the core contributors to making the chain work and accessible everyday to everyone. We will provide a more comprehensive overview of this work soon.
We are committed to ensuring that the GnosisDAO governance surfaces operate securely without reliance on third party dependencies that could compromise the communities ability to make collective decisions about the Gnosis ecosystem. We are also committed to operating transparently. The infrastructure team will continue to provide updates about Snapshot maintenance and related work moving forward now that GIP-112 is complete. Thank you!
