GnosisDAO GIP-108 Voting Deadline

GIP-108, live on Snapshot since May 23, 2025, proposes that GnosisDAO honors the original rewards structure for GnosisVIP node operators before the distribution schedule was altered. Notably, it excludes additional nodes with the same withdrawal address to prevent reward gaming. Voting closes on May 30, 2025, at 18:45 UTC. Snapshot voting is gasless, requiring at least 1 GNO to participate, with votes weighted by GNO holdings (Gnosis Chain, 2024). This decision could set a precedent for fairness in reward distribution, impacting node operators and the broader Gnosis community by reinforcing trust in the DAO’s governance.
