Gnosis Chain to Transition to Ethereum-Settled Rollup

The significance is less about scaling than about alignment: Gnosis is trading sovereign validator economics for Ethereum's security and liquidity, a bet that settlement credibility now outweighs the cost of running an independent chain. Unlocking the GNO previously tied to treasury-funded staking shifts the token's role from yield subsidy toward whatever utility the rollup design assigns it, which is the real test for holders. Whether the freed tokens are absorbed productively or become persistent supply overhang is the open question to watch.
