On August 30, according to The Block, Gnosis Chain community members are reconsidering their choice of gas tokens after MakerDAO changed its name to Sky and launched a new stablecoin Sky Dollar (USDS). Gnosis operates a sidechain and currently uses a bridge version called xDAI to pay gas fees on the network. MakerDAO is the issuer of DAI, a stablecoin backed by crypto assets. As part of MakerDAO's "ultimate plan", it will allow DAI holders to choose to upgrade their tokens to USDS at a 1:1 ratio, while also providing opportunities for native token rewards. The new USDS stablecoin may introduce more centralized features, including the ability to "freeze" wallet addresses and restrict access to users in the UK and the US. These changes have raised concerns among Gnosis Chain users about the reliability of USDS in paying transaction costs. Community members emphasized that the freezing function of USDS is contrary to Gnosis's decentralized principles. Community member 0xLajota wrote: "USDS has a 'freeze' function that allows the use of stablecoins to be blocked in certain wallets and/or smart contracts. This change goes against the essence of Gnosis, which is decentralized and permissionless." In response, Gnosis Chain members discussed exploring several alternative solutions, and the options proposed included the adoption of decentralized stablecoins such as RAI and LUSD or a basket of currencies. In addition, members also suggested that Gnosis Chain could use its native staking token Gnosis (GNO) as a Gas token to conform to the practices of other blockchain protocols. The discussion is still in its early stages and no formal proposal has yet been made.
