Gnosis Chain has successfully Merged

Happy merge everyone!

At Block 6,306,357, the Gnosis Execution Layer network successfully merged with the Consensus Layer network.

The Merge was uneventful, which was the best possible outcome after months of hard work and testing by the team.

The Gnosis Merge replaced the Proof-of-Authority (PoA) consensus, which was secured by 20 validators, to a far more resilient 100,000 validators supporting the new PoS network. With nodes run by community members and teams around the world, the Gnosis Merge makes Gnosis the second most decentralized PoS network behind Ethereum.

Resuming Bridge Operations

After a ~36 hour observation period, the Gnosis Governance Multisig proceeded to restore the pre-merge limits for the Bridge.

The xDai Bridge, Arbitrary Message Bridge and Omnibridge resumed regular operation at 10 Dec 2022 03:21 UTC.

📢📢📢 Bridge has been paused. This is a risk-management operation that will be rolled back once normal operation of the chain has been verified post-Merge. https://t.co/lCv67DZvNJ
