Geographic Diversity Program

A bounty program to expand the presence of Gnosis Chain validators across the world

About the Geographic Diversity Program

The goal of this program is to increase the global distribution and geographic diversity of Gnosis Chain validator nodes. To incentivize this, GnosisVIP is offering bounties of 338 mGNO (~$1,350) to geographically uncorrelated validators that meet the bounty criteria. Having this diversity in validation geography insures against correlated failures due to natural disasters or adversarial regulatory regimes.

The image above demonstrates the current distribution of Gnosis Chain nodes across the world. You can explore this map in further detail at d14n.info.
