Gnosis Merits Campaign Tutorial

Welcome to the Gnosis Merits Campaign Launch! This guide is here to help you get started and participate in the launch of Merits on Gnosis Chain.

Overview of Gnosis Chain

Gnosis Chain is a decentralized blockchain designed for scalability and low-cost transactions. It enables developers to create and deploy DApps while providing a seamless user experience. Gnosis is a fork of Ethereum, sharing the same technical specifications, including a decentralized validator set surpassing 200,000 validators.

• Native Token: The native token for Gnosis is xDAI. This is essential for transactions on the network.
• Gas Fees: Gnosis Chain boasts exceptionally low gas fees, ranging from 0.00001 to 0.001 xDAI per transaction. Make sure to have some xDAI in your wallet to cover these costs.
• Merits Integration: As part of this campaign, Merits will be enabled on Gnosis Chain, providing new opportunities for engagement and rewards.

Before We Begin

• Use the same wallet address for all steps detailed below
• Make your life easier, and follow the steps in this exact order 😉

Step 1: Bridge to Gnosis with Swapscout & Earn Merits

Start your journey by using the Swapscout widget to bridge assets from any compatible network to Gnosis Chain:

• Website: Swapscout
• Merits: Accumulate Merits for all bridging activities.
• Tip: Remember to bridge xDAI first for gas fees.

Step 2: Swap Tokens with Cowswap

Once on Gnosis, use the Cowswap DEX to perform token swaps:

• Website: Cowswap
• Volume: The more trades you make, the more Merits you earn!
• Tip: Swap xDai for WXDAI to prepare for the next quest

Step 3: Join the Blockscout Community Garden

Join the Blockscout Community Garden

• Website: Blockscout Community Garden
• Register: Join the Blockscout community for 1 WXDAI.
• Stake: Deposit WXDAI to participate in community signaling governance and gain voting power.
• Vote: Create or vote on proposals. Funding proposals enable retroactive funding for ideas, while signaling proposals influence Blockscout’s future roadmap. You must either create a proposal or vote on one in order to be eligible for the Gnosis Osmosis Badge.
• Bonus: Create a proposal to get funded by Blockscout to accomplish your desired goal and outcome presented to the community. This can also be for any retro active work.

Final Step: Exclusive Campaign Reward

By participating in all campaign activities, you will be eligible to mint the Gnosis Badge, a dedicated NFT created specifically for this campaign.

Please note that the whitelist for badge eligibility is updated weekly, as we need to collect and cross-reference data from various dApps. This means you may need to wait up to a week after completing all steps before being able to mint your badge.

Dive into the Gnosis ecosystem, engage with the community, and make your mark all while earning Blockscout Merits!

All quest details and step-by-step guides are also available in your Merit Dashboard. Start your journey there to track progress and access detailed instructions for each challenge.

Frequently Asked Questions

How will my Merit rewards be distributed?

Rewards are distributed automatically on different schedules: Swapscout earnings are credited daily, while activities on CoWswap, Gardens, and Conquest are distributed weekly.

How can I track my progress through all the quests?

While there's no automatic progress tracking, you can use this Dune dashboard to verify your wallet address has successfully completed each quest.

Simply enter your wallet address, and you will see which quests you have completed under the Protocol_Name column.

What's the best way to bridge xDAI to Gnosis Chain using Swapscout?

While liquidity depends on third-party providers, here are some tips:

• Try adjusting your slippage settings
• The DAI (Ethereum) to xDAI (Gnosis) route typically has consistent liquidity
• If no routes are available, check back later the same day

Do I need to win in Conquest to complete that quest?

No - while skilled players can earn extra rewards, simply staking on a planet is enough to qualify for the Gnosis Osmosis badge.

When can I mint my Gnosis Badge after completing all quests?

Please allow up to one week after completing all activities. We update the whitelist weekly to process and verify participation data from all dApps involved in the campaign.
