According to Techub News, the decentralized autonomous organization GnosisDAO tweeted that Gnosis Chain is facing a critical decision, whether to continue as an independent Layer 1 or develop into a Layer 2 solution on Ethereum. This choice involves balancing sovereignty and ecosystem integration, which has a significant impact on its validator network.

 

GnosisDAO said that the Layer1 path maintains Gnosis's full autonomy in governance and protocol development, retains its role as a trusted neutral blockchain space, and allows independent development without relying on Ethereum's roadmap. Transitioning to Layer2 can create a truly decentralized L2 solution that solves the core weaknesses of the current L2 centralized sequencer.
