Gnosis Chain debuts Ethernet Dencun hard fork

For the first time, an Ether hard fork has been activated on another chain, Gnosis Chain, initially known as xDai Chain, is a proof-of-stake blockchain designed to maintain full Ether compatibility, including the ability to directly implement all hard forks. Yesterday, Gnosis activated the Dencun hard fork, which is expected to go live on Ether in less than two days. This is possible because Gnosis' design mirrors that of Ether, with a "beacon" chain and execution layer. Phillippe Schommers, director of infrastructure, said Gnosis can be thought of as a research network for testing things in the real world.
