Gnosis

Gnosis API is available on Web3 API platform.

Gnosis (formerly the xDai Chain) provides stability, scalability, and an extendable beacon chain framework.

Development on Gnosis is straightforward for Ethereum developers as it is an EVM compatible chain. Smart contracts can be written and deployed in the same way as for Ethereum just by setting a different RPC endpoint.

Any contract that works on the Ethereum mainnet can be redeployed to the Gnosis chain. Transaction costs are minimized, and all fees and transactions are paid with a single token (xDai). Many tools supporting Ethereum development are compatible with Gnosis.

In order for your Web3 application to interact with Gnosis — either by reading blockchain data or sending transactions to the network — it must connect to a Gnosis node. Developers interact with the blockchain using the methods provided by the API.

The API interaction follows the JSON-RPC which is a stateless, light-weight remote procedure call (RPC) protocol. It defines several data structures and the rules around their processing. It is transport agnostic in that the concepts can be used within the same process, over sockets, over HTTP, or in other message-passing environments. It uses JSON (RFC 4627) as data format.
