Developers
Ethereum compatibility means deploying to GC is as simple as updating a few lines of code. All the necessary tools are ready and waiting for you to create the next killer application on Gnosis Chain!
Users
Experience the benefits of fast block times and low, stable transactions in a secure, eco-friendly blockchain environment. Push applications to their full potential without worry, pressure, or timing transactions.
Stakers
Protect the ecosystem and earn GNO in the process! Stakers (validators) receive rewards for providing Proof-of-Stake consensus on the Gnosis Beacon Chain.
Onboarding
You can bridge xDai, GNO and many other tokens from Ethereum and BSC to GC to get started. You can also get assets directly on GC without starting on another chain, the choice is yours.
Tokens
$XDAI
XDAI is the perfect token for conducting stable transactions. It inherits the high availability and liquidity of DAI from Ethereum while providing a one-token, no-volatility method to pay for both fees (gas costs) and goods/services/P2P transactions on the xdai chain.
$GNO
Beacon Chain Proof-of-Stake security is made possible by the GNO token. Validators stake GNO and receive incentives for correct block production. GNO holders can participate in governance by voting on ecosystem proposals originating on the Gnosis forum.
$STAKE
Prior to the Gnosis chain merger, STAKE was used for PoS consensus on the xDai chain. While this is still the case in the short term, the ecosystem will transition to GNO-only staking when the Gnosis Chain and Gnosis Beacon Chain merge. We highly recommend swapping your STAKE for GNO as soon as possible! Swapping will only be available until May of 2022.
Gnosis
Beacon Chain
Gnosis Beacon Chain (GBC) is the consensus layer designed to compliment and support the wider Ethereum ecosystem. The Gnosis Chain will merge with the GBC consensus layer just prior to the Ethereum merge.

Gnosis Chain is committed to carbon reduction and eco-friendly operations. The chain is designed to produce minimal emissions. We’ve also partnered with Offestra to analyze and take action, offsetting much more carbon than the chain currently produces. In addition, the Gnosis Chain GreenDAO is spearheading unique green initiatives and offerings for projects that call the GC home.
