Question 1

What is the Gnosis DAO treasury redemption proposal?

Accepted Answer

It is a live governance vote that would allow GNO token holders to redeem their pro-rata share of the Gnosis DAO treasury directly, rather than relying on DAO leadership to deploy those funds. The proposal was posted on May 5, 2026.

Question 2

How much did Gnosis raise and what does its treasury hold now?

Accepted Answer

Gnosis raised approximately 250,000 ETH (about $12.5 million at the time) in its 2017 ICO. The current treasury value is disputed: co-founder Lukas Schor says it exceeds $200 million in dollar terms, while critics note it has shrunk to under 85,000 ETH when measured in the asset originally raised.

Question 3

Why is Marc Zeller involved in the Gnosis governance debate?

Accepted Answer

Zeller, the founder of the Aave Chan Initiative, was a central figure in Aave's own governance dispute earlier in 2026, where he challenged the legitimacy of a narrow funding vote. He is now commenting on the Gnosis situation, criticizing the DAO's ETH-denominated returns to holders.
