Gnosis Chain (formerly xDai Chain) is a fast, stable, and affordable EVM sidechain designed for payments and DeFi. Using xDAI (a stablecoin pegged to USD) as the native gas token, Gnosis provides predictable transaction costs and a smooth user experience. With 5-second blocks, a thriving DeFi ecosystem, and its own Beacon Chain for consensus, Gnosis has processed billions in transactions serving real-world use cases since 2018.

Access stable payment infrastructure
A Gnosis RPC node provides applications with access to an EVM sidechain where transaction fees are paid in xDAI, a stablecoin pegged to USD. This design eliminates gas price volatility, making Gnosis ideal for payment applications, DeFi protocols, and use cases requiring predictable costs. Since 2018, Gnosis has proven its reliability processing billions in real-world transactions.
On most blockchains, gas is paid in volatile tokens (ETH, BNB, etc.), making costs unpredictable. Gnosis uses xDAI — a stablecoin pegged to $1 USD — as the native gas token. This means transaction costs are stable and predictable, essential for businesses, payment systems, and applications requiring consistent economics.
Gnosis advantages:
Gnosis runs its own Beacon Chain using Proof of Stake consensus similar to Ethereum 2.0. Validators stake GNO tokens to secure the network, while users benefit from xDAI's stable gas fees. This dual-token model separates governance/staking (GNO) from everyday usage (xDAI).
How Gnosis works:
Gnosis hosts a mature ecosystem including Gnosis Safe (the most popular multi-sig wallet), DeFi protocols like Curve and Balancer, prediction markets, NFT platforms, and payment applications. The chain's stability and low costs make it particularly suitable for real-world payment use cases.
The Gnosis DAO governs the ecosystem, making decisions on network upgrades, funding, and strategic direction using GNO token voting.
Quick start for developers
Gnosis Chain supports all standard Ethereum JSON-RPC methods:
const { ethers } = require('ethers');
const provider = new ethers.JsonRpcProvider('https://rpc.crypto-chief.com/gnosis/YOUR_API_KEY');
// Verify we're on Gnosis
const network = await provider.getNetwork();
console.log('Chain ID:', network.chainId); // 100
// Get xDAI balance (stable $1 USD)
const balance = await provider.getBalance('0x...');
console.log('xDAI Balance:', ethers.formatEther(balance));
// Interact with Gnosis Safe
const GNOSIS_SAFE = '0x...';
const safeABI = [
'function getOwners() view returns (address[])',
'function getThreshold() view returns (uint256)'
];
const safe = new ethers.Contract(GNOSIS_SAFE, safeABI, provider);
const owners = await safe.getOwners();
const threshold = await safe.getThreshold();
console.log(`Safe has ${owners.length} owners, ${threshold} signatures required`);from web3 import Web3
w3 = Web3(Web3.HTTPProvider('https://rpc.crypto-chief.com/gnosis/YOUR_API_KEY'))
print('Connected to Gnosis:', w3.is_connected())
print('Chain ID:', w3.eth.chain_id) # 100
print('Latest block:', w3.eth.block_number)
# Gas price in xDAI (stable)
gas_price = w3.eth.gas_price
print(f'Gas price: {gas_price} wei (~stable)')
# Get xDAI balance
balance = w3.eth.get_balance('0x...')
print(f'xDAI: {balance / 1e18}')const { ethers } = require('ethers');
const provider = new ethers.WebSocketProvider('wss://rpc.crypto-chief.com/gnosis/ws/YOUR_API_KEY');
// Monitor new blocks (every ~5 seconds)
provider.on('block', async (blockNumber) => {
const block = await provider.getBlock(blockNumber);
console.log(`Gnosis block ${blockNumber}: ${block.transactions.length} txs`);
});
// Monitor xDAI transfers
const filter = {
topics: [ethers.id('Transfer(address,address,uint256)')]
};
provider.on(filter, (log) => {
console.log('Transfer on Gnosis:', log);
