Simple Summary The Gnosis and the xDAI community should merge their tokens and together develop the xDAI Blockchain under the name “Gnosis Chain” with an ambitious technical roadmap.
Abstract The xDai Chain serves an important role in the greater Ethereum ecosystem. Over the past 3 years, many projects have used xDai for scaling, stability, green deployments, and interoperability (TokenBridge was the first widely available bridge in production). xDai has a unique and passionate community of advocates and users, and offers a complete and feature-rich toolset for devs. While other chains have mainly attracted clones of existing Ethereum projects, xDai has more forward-thinking projects and native-built applications flourishing within its ecosystem.
