Gnosis Chain has formally passed GIP-153, a proposal to transition the network from a sovereign standalone Layer 1 into a highly Ethereum-aligned Layer 2. The vote cleared the quorum threshold shortly before the deadline after several officially linked addresses, including one associated with Gnosis co-founder StefanDGeorge, cast votes in favor. The proposal was put forward by Gnosis founder tw_tter together with core contributors. Its stated goal is to move Gnosis Chain away from the weaknesses the proposal associates with a traditional Proof-of-Stake Layer 1 model, including limited security and reliance on inflationary subsidies. Under the plan, Gnosis Chain would instead inherit security from Ethereum validators. The proposal also says the network is intended to become the first Ethereum Layer 2 to achieve synchronous composability. The vote marks a formal governance step in reshaping Gnosis Chain’s architecture around closer alignment with Ethereum.

What the proposal aims to do
