Wtf? Didn’t you design this system you are now criticizing?
As a longtime STAKE holder, YOU really fucked us by merging against the community’s will. Barely 6 months on, it’s easy to see YOU wanted to abandon us and the project. Despite EVERYONE telling you it was a bad idea, YOU went through with the merger. It hasn’t even been 6 months and here you are with your tricks, trying to blame others and quit.
It’s super fucking clear 6 months on that YOU just wanted to dump this on some sucker and find a way to abandon ship. Gnosis was a sucky partner from the start and complete dumbasses but I guess that was important because they were dumb enough to say yes.
This is a rugging. pretending to look like a ragequit. 6 months???
There’s a complete disconnect between:
Igor “ThEy aRe TrYinG tO rEpLacE uS”
Gnosis “we see big value in continuing with the team”
Fuck you Igor. YOU fucking blew it. First sidechain, all the hope of the community, getting overtaken by Polygon and everyone who copied us, timed perfectly for a bull run, and YOU fucking blew it.
Every other sidechain went to billions of dollars, and YOUR shitty management managed to make xDai fail against all odds. Instead of acknowledging your failure and making actual changes (e.g. hiring a fucking marketing department), all we got was this fucking shitty merger, with another company with absolute trash marketing department, and a shitty GNO token worth… checks graph… exactly what xDai’s market cap was.
“AsK tHe nEw mANagEmEnT” ← No, Fuck you, Igor. You rugged us
Although not agreeing to most of your post this seems fairly right.
I would have preferred to stay as a slow growing, but technical superior project, even if it would have stayed mainly for hipsters like me for some more time. Imho in the long run the upsides would have outweight the drawbacks, but reading the overwhelming complaints about too low TVL and MC in the community discussion (like your talking about the billions of dollars other projects achieved) I can understand the team was looking for another way to go.
Most likely they are just not interested in marketing that much and also not very smart in judging the consequences of a so called ‘merger’, that others saw much earlier as a takeover.
However, it is as it is and I wrote it already before the vote about the ‘merger’: Not sure if this will feel like home for me if too much change too fast (and maybe in a direction I don’t feel comfortable with). I will for now continue running my gbc node, but far from sure about my long term commitment to the gc ecosystem. Will depend on the way they go.
But luckily it’s up to everyone to choose between options and to me it don’t seem the right way to blame others.
Igor, YOU need to distribute the 6 million dollars (at today’s shitty ass GNO prices) for the old ecosystem fund to your longtime POA and STAKE holders. All. These. Years. Mana. Nifty. Honeybadger. POA. This isn’t YOUR exit liquidity, it belongs to STAKE (and OG POA) holders.
YOU already rugged us once on POA network for STAKE. What’s the next great project you’re going to take the previous project’s treasury for? Blockscout (of all products, wtf?) ??? So do STAKE holders get Blockscout advertising revenue?
First of all, we greatly respect what the xDAI team has built. We had hoped to continue to be working on the chain together - specifically as the chain is decentralized and independent teams can make independent contributions.
Our priorities will be:
Further strengthening and decentralization of the beacon chain
Building a trustless bridge based on the earlier research from the xDAI team on having a light client of GC running on Ethereum
Account abstraction - every user account on GC should midterm be smart contract with the advantages that brings
Erigon and Nethermind - together with these teams we will make sure the chain is performant and can handle even higher gas limits eventually
Circles - several teams are currently working on a relaunch of Circles that ideally can bring a wave of new users to the chain again
We think there are plenty of opportunities to contribute to those priorities, but there are also many options to contribute with independent projects like the “Optimism on GC”. In any case - if you decide to leave the chain, that is a big loss for the chain. In this case, we would only request you gracefully hand over the projects and assets you still control related to the chain. (as you have done it already for most)
Furthermore, we would hope that if the xDAI team no longer directly contributes to the chain, you might at least continue indirectly contributing to the chain by writing open-source software that ultimately also benefits GC (like e.g. Blocksout).
Same was true for Gnosis DAO and xDAI Chain without a merger/takeover, anyway you prefered the latter.
while I welcome your point 1, 2 & 4 and need to read up about 5 I am not happy to read:
Why not giving everyone the choice to use SC account or not?
Can’t agree more, but as it seems there are some different views how to proceed further together that can’t be solved easily.
If however, there is a way to align the different opinions I would be very glad to see this happen to build the future together.
My statement was misleading. Everyone will have the choice to continuously use EOAs but the idea is to strengthen strengthen the support of smart contract wallets (stuff like EIP3447) and make them so good that they will become the new standard. But we have absolutely no plans to enforce them in any way which would be certainly against the spirit of the chain.
The intention of my message was to highlight the fact that GIP-52 passed quorum. As such, the Gnosis community has signaled that they want the former xDai team to be involved in the ongoing, future development of Gnosis Chain. My role, in part, is to help steward the governance process here on the forum. That includes communicating the results of on-chain votes. I hope that answers your question and sheds some light on my activity here on the forum.
From reading this thread, I feel like there is enough common ground for xDAI to continue contributing, directly or indirectly, to GC. A serious investment of time to hash out the discrepancy in views could lead to a reasonable compromise. The devil is in the details as they say.

i feel exactly the same way. i’ve been through the POA >> STAKE transition and wasn’t happy about it either. then STAKE >> GNO – whatever, meh, wouldn’t have done it, but i trusted that it was done in good faith. but now this?? and igor has wiped all references to the xdai community fund from the gitbook and forums, the funds are being moved to binance. ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING US?? until this point i had assumed that he is bad at business decisions, but now he’s trying to rugpull us?? this was the community fund and is for supporting the XDAI/ GC COMMUNITY AND YOU ARE EMBEZZLING IT!?
i have contacted the police in dubai where igor lives and am in the process of filing a complaint against igor personally, blockscout and anyone from the xdai team i suspect of being a signer on the community multisig for embezzling funds. poa network apparently was incorporated in some tax haven!? shady as fuck, let me tell you… luckily i had made local copies of all the gitbooks when i was building something a while back and could support my claims. the dubai police’s english was pretty good and they even looked him up in their residency database, he’s definitely domiciled there. if you want to get in on that complaint, let me know asap, the police will open a criminal investigation once they’ve gone through everything. i added these people as possible signers of the multisig. should i add anyone?
Thanks everyone who participated in the temperature check
I am missing a concrete ask from the DAO for the proposal itself.
Now, there is a proposal for hosted BlockScout for Gnosis Chain and Optimism on Gnosis Chain
If you are a GNO holder please consider to vote on it on Snapshot till 2022-07-09T17:37:00Z
Despite the fact that sometimes we have different views on tactical issues, we are still in the same boat of this DAO and ecosystem. Thus, we are curious to explore future opportunities on above-mentioned topics for collaboration on mutual interest basis.
There is nothing wrong with spirited debate and strong opinions. Please think twice before using such aggressive language that shuts dialogue down. The Gnosis forum is for everyone and that includes those you might disagree with.
essential role in establishing a shared context for developing and growing the Gnosis Chain. In my humble opinion, the xDai should absolutely continue to work towards its succes
