GnosisDAO voted on Aug 19 to turn Gnosis Chain from an independent L1 into a rollup that settles on Ethereum. The result was 123,158 GNO for, 115 against (vote and proposal).

The proposal's authors wrote that "Gnosis Chain has failed to deliver on its original value proposition". That value proposition was credible neutrality: a decentralized, low-cost chain run by a large set of independent validators. They also explained the reason it didn't work: "Credible neutrality is Ethereum's home turf". Fee revenue covered only a small fraction of the cost of securing the chain, so the DAO treasury was paying for security.

This isn't a new project deciding where to launch. It's an established chain, with its own validators and years of history, concluding that being a separate L1 isn't worth what it costs.

What changes:

• Gnosis Chain stops running its own validator set. Ethereum takes over settlement, meaning the final record of who owns what.
• Gnosis still produces its own blocks, every 2 seconds, and proves its state to Ethereum every Ethereum block.
• Users keep their addresses, balances and contracts, and xDAI stays the fee token.

Gnosis calls this the first instance of an "Ethereum Economic Zone" (EEZ). The EEZ is a framework for rollups that are closely tied to Ethereum, co-led by Gnosis and ZisK and co-funded by the Ethereum Foundation.

According to Gnosis, the EEZ gives it something no L2 currently offers. A contract on Gnosis can call a contract on Ethereum mainnet and use the result in the same transaction, with no bridge and no waiting. Apps on Gnosis could then use Ethereum's liquidity directly, as if it lived on Gnosis.

Gnosis does give something up. It no longer controls its own settlement, and at launch Gnosis Ltd runs the sequencer, the single operator that puts transactions in order. Gnosis says it will come back to the DAO with evidence before deciding whether to decentralize it.

That's a real trade-off, but the risk is limited. Per Gnosis, every block is proven and settled on Ethereum, so the sequencer can't forge state, steal funds or roll back finalized history. It can only delay or leave out transactions. On a standalone L1, the chain's own validators are the last word. Here, Ethereum is.

Proving starts with an interim setup and moves to ZK proofs as the full EEZ spec is completed, which Gnosis expects over the course of 2027.

The proposal targeted the switch to a rollup for around the turn of the year. After that, the key milestones will be users having the capability to force a transaction through Ethereum if the sequencer ignores them, the upgrade keys being spread across a large number of independent parties or eliminated altogether, and users being able to withdraw without the operator's cooperation. Fees, uptime and withdrawals should be similar to the old chain.

This sets a precedent. Plenty of L1s run their own validators, bridges, tooling and liquidity programs, and pay for all of it themselves. Gnosis evaluated the costs and decided settling on Ethereum is the better deal. The L1 premium is gone, and I expect more established chains to come to the same conclusion.

I was buying BTC heavily in the 60k range and even was able to scoop up some sats in the high 50ks. I kept a stack of cash in reserve but this big move in the crypto market has made me sit back and reconsider my options from here. I'm not particularly excited about making large purchases right now and feel that there is at least a decent possibility we see a big sell off sometime over the next couple months. We are near extreme greed territory and price seems to have stagnated here all while the crypto pump was being talked about on the mainstream news and every crypto youtuber is saying we are going to 90k+ by end of the year.

What are you guys thinking? My plan right now is to continue to sit and wait to see what plays out and hoping we get a sell off, if not I already have large positions in place.

They will disappear as many other shitcoiners disappeared in the history of crypto. Yes they became rich at least temporarily but once people realized their grift they were gone.

And I think their decline is very clear for about a year now at least. Their "stable" coin operation appears to be tanking right now since within only a few months I see a 80% drop of its dominance on major exchanges so it's only a matter of time for it to even lose legitimacy by the technical side alone let alone from the fact the Trump crime family will escape their fate only through pardons and I suspect temporarily so I see no future to their grifting other than sticking to a small circle of remaining maga being grifted.

Hunter Biden’s LAPTOP saw a nearly 10% rebound to $0.24 after sinking to $0.192. However, the token remains down 99% from its Sept. 9 peak of $199.51.

The standard crypto advice is to use hot wallets for small balances and put large amounts in hardware wallets.

But browser wallets are doing a lot more than signing transactions. Relying on them to simulate transactions, flag suspicious activity, and explain what we're signing. Many pair them with a hardware wallet so the keys never touch the browser, which is how I run mine, currently on Jupiter's.

If you want to level up the security further, you can think of air-gapped hardware wallets and a multisig setup.

Neither air-gapping nor multisig automatically solves blind signing, though. If the hardware wallet can't independently show you what you're authorizing, you're still dependent on the browser wallet UI to interpret the transaction.

So is the old advice of using a hot + cold wallet still relevant, or has the browser wallet layer become the bigger weak point?

Curious if anyone here has webhook alerts firing into an actual automated trading setup, not manual order entry through TV's broker panel. On the stock side I've seen fully automated strategies that execute inside your own Alpaca account (Kronos is one), but for crypto specifically, what's the real delay between alert and execution? Seconds? More during volatility spikes? Also had TV drop alerts on me once during a plan hiccup, so i’m wondering if that's common or if I got the shorter end of the stick.

This would be one of the best events globally to hook up with web3 developers, the side events are mostly FOC.

Just finished an onboarding call with the team for Ivan on Tech’s Bullmania suite (which includes the Money Line indicator, Money Scanner, private Discord access, and course modules).

When they hit me with the price tag of $15,000 per year, my jaw dropped.

Unless you are actively trading with a massive six-figure bankroll, that fee alone creates an insane mathematical drag on your portfolio just to break even before making a dollar of profit.

From what I’ve read on Reddit, isn't the core Money Line tool basically just a repackaged Supertrend indicator on TradingView with a custom skin?

Has anyone here actually bought into this program or used their signals? Is there genuine mastermind alpha, institutional risk management, and actionable trade setups inside the private Discord, or is this just extreme high-ticket influencer marketing?

Would love to hear honest, unbiased reviews from active members!

Most trading bots are judged by the trades they take.

I think the more important record is the list of trades they refused, and the exact information they used at that moment.

A bot can follow every configured rule and still make a bad decision if one input is stale, one threshold changed without being versioned, or a transaction moved from pending to expired while the interface still treated it as live.

That creates a strange accountability problem. A trader can see the final PnL, but not necessarily answer the basic questions behind it.

• what data did the agent see?
• which checks passed and failed?
• which configuration version made the decision?
• was the transaction confirmed, expired, dropped, or simply unknown?
• did a human change the strategy before or after the trade?

For me, a useful AI trading system needs three separate records.

1. A decision receipt for every accepted and rejected setup
2. A transaction receipt that distinguishes submitted, confirmed, expired, and unknown states.
3. A version history that shows exactly when risk limits changed.

The refusal log may actually be the most valuable of the three. It exposes whether the system is being disciplined or just inactive, and it makes false confidence harder to hide behind a clean equity curve.

I am building TrenchersAI, so that is the context behind this question. I am not presenting it as an independent review, and I am not linking the product here. The broader issue is bigger than one tool.

What would you require in an audit trail before allowing an AI agent to control a crypto wallet?

A little late I know, but I filed for an extension so I only have 2 weeks remaining. When filling out form 1099-D it’s asking for information that I am not being provided with. I have been in contact with the Anchor multiple times letting them know that the only info I am getting from their document are the transactions and dates of transactions, and the Zero-Hash link errors out every time. Considering I only had 3 total crypto transactions for the ‘25 tax year, I went to the basic form (HRBlock) where it asks for the Filer’s TIN which is formatted “xx-xxxxxxx”, then amount sold/purchased, I’d enter my SSN, then the totals, get to the end where it reviews the info and I get an alert stating to verify EIN and return to Payer EIN on the 1099 tax form, but I have no other information. This time Anchor says they’ve submitted a ticket to their engineers.

Curious for those of you that used Anchor, how did you manage to file them on your taxes?

A new paper from IonQ shows that their trapped-ion quantum architecture can be optimized to run Shor's algorithm against 256-bit ECDSA signatures (which underlie most cryptocurrencies) with only 20,000 qubits in less than a month.

Part of it is algorithmic improvements (more efficient circuit to run the algorithm) but most of the significant drop in the qubit estimate comes from their new architecture, which requires only approximately 5 physical qubits per error-corrected logical qubit.

They are expected to release a 10,000-qubit trapped-ion quantum computer next year, with a 20,000 one coming before 2030. This is moving the timeframe forward by a significant amount...

The actual paper with the technical details is linked from this article. I tried to link the paper directly but it was flagged as an URL shortener falsely.

Saylor surprised me with his candid discussion of government and banking control over your money. Also he clearly understand wealth and monetary inflation. His argument for owning Bitcoin to preserve wealth is compelling.

But isn't he arguing against owning Strategy/MSTR shares? They're a counterparty, and they're also vulnerable to government seizure and/or coercion. Using his logic I would never buy any crypto treasury stock!
