AI summary of the linked article

Gnosis Chain has announced its upcoming Pectra hard fork, which it describes as an upgrade to scalability, fee structures and network functionality. Node runners must upgrade before April 30, 2025, and client teams will be published by April 23 at the latest, like Ethereum. The fork includes EIP-7702 for smart wallet functionality on externally owned accounts, EIP-7251 for higher validator stake limits, and a change under which the blob base fee is collected rather than burned, starting at the fork timestamp. Gnosis Chain says detailed guides, client releases and AMAs will follow in the coming weeks.

Interesting!

The blob gas schedule is kept equal to the Dencun hard-fork.

Can anyone comment on why?

Article mentions a fee collector address for blobs which seems to be a Gnosis specific thing: https://gnosisscan.io/address/0x6BBe78ee9e474842Dbd4AB4987b3CeFE88426A92#code

Btw: Does it still make sense for Gnosis to mirror the Ethereum code base? Why would Gnosis want to follow Ethereum's blob roadmap? It's not like their chain is full or whatever
