- GIP-140 revamps GnosisDAO voting with on-chain and beacon data.
- GNO price dips amid profit-taking and technical resistance.
- Liquidity limits and stablecoin rules may influence short-term sentiment.
The Gnosis price has experienced modest volatility following the passing of the GnosisDAO GIP-140 proposal, a major governance update aimed at overhauling the platform’s voting mechanisms.
The GIP-140 initiative replaces the current subgraph-based GNO strategy with a suite of strategies that read blockchain state directly from both the execution and beacon layers.
The proposal’s approval marks a significant step toward enhancing the accuracy and reliability of Snapshot voting while adding support for StakeWise tokens and reducing dependency on external data providers.
GIP-140: revamping voting for accuracy and inclusion
GIP-140’s passage reflects a broad consensus among GnosisDAO participants, with 82 votes cast, overwhelmingly in favour of the measure.
The core objective is to eliminate the subgraph dependency, which has historically caused delays and inaccuracies in voting power calculations.
The new system attributes voting power to GNO balances across both the Gnosis Chain and Ethereum, locked GNO holdings, validator balances, and StakeWise’s sGNO and osGNO tokens.
By pulling data directly from on-chain and beacon chain sources, the proposal seeks to create a more robust and transparent voting environment that can better reflect actual stakeholder influence.
The technical implementation involves updating Snapshot’s configuration via a SafeSnap transaction, pointing to aggregator contracts deployed on both Gnosis Chain and Ethereum, as well as a new beacon-chain strategy for staked GNO.
Delegation mechanisms have also been updated to integrate these new sources, ensuring a seamless transition for DAO members accustomed to existing workflows.
The changes position GnosisDAO to handle complex governance requirements while reducing reliance on third-party indexers like The Graph, which previously introduced inconsistencies.
Gnosis price enters consolidation amid profit-taking
Surprisingly, following the approval of GIP-140, the Gnosis price has seen a slight pullback, falling 0.89% over the past 24 hours and underperforming the broader crypto market, which gained 0.06%.
The price movement aligns with profit-taking behaviour after GNO achieved a 7.98% weekly gain and an 8.3% rise during October.
Technical indicators suggest the market is testing resistance around the 30-day simple moving average of $137.93 and the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level at $138.47.

While the RSI remains neutral at 53.42, a bearish divergence in the MACD hints at potential short-term consolidation.
In addition, liquidity pressures stemming from CoinDCX’s June 2025 delisting continue to weigh on GNO trading activity.
Despite being months old, the delisting reduced retail access to the token, and the 24-hour turnover ratio of 1.08% remains relatively low compared with broader DeFi sector averages.
Regulatory uncertainties surrounding stablecoins, particularly the relaunch of USDS under the stricter US GENIUS Act, may also indirectly influence sentiment toward Gnosis Chain assets.
Nevertheless, milestones like Gnosis Pay’s $100 million transaction volume suggest that ecosystem adoption could counterbalance some of these headwinds.
Looking ahead
The combination of technical consolidation, lingering liquidity constraints, and regulatory considerations creates a cautious but watchful environment for Gnosis price movements.
Holding the $135–$137 zone could provide the stability needed for renewed momentum, particularly as GnosisDAO’s upgraded Snapshot strategies begin to reflect more accurate voting power across multiple token types.
In the coming weeks, the Gnosis price may respond to both market dynamics and the tangible impact of GIP-140’s execution, particularly if the changes enhance voting accuracy and encourage broader participation in the DAO.
For now, the community appears aligned, and the successful passage of GIP-140 represents a meaningful milestone that could shape GNO’s trajectory in both governance and market performance.
