Gnosis: ZK-proven Ethereum Economic Zone rollup reaches genesis - Dec 2026

The Ethereum announcement reports that GnosisDAO has approved Gnosis Chain's transition from a standalone Layer 1 into a ZK-proven Ethereum Economic Zone rollup, with genesis targeted for the turn of the year.Genesis is the operational milestone for this Ethereum-aligned architecture. If delivered, the rollup could make Ethereum assets, liquidity, and infrastructure reachable through Gnosis Chain without an intermediary bridge, which may broaden the network's utility and remove a separate access step for users and applications. The announcement confirms the planned transition and timing, but it does not by itself demonstrate that assets, liquidity, or applications have migrated or that usage has changed. Availability should therefore be distinguished from demonstrated adoption, with actual effects depending on the rollout and subsequent participation.GnosisDAO has approved Gnosis Chain's transition from a standalone Layer 1 into a ZK-proven Ethereum Economic Zone rollup.GIP-153 results: 123,158 for, 115 against, 151 abstaining, from 54 voters.
