## Summary

The Gnosis Bridges Team announced that Hashi, the cross-chain security integration for Gnosis Chain's canonical AMB (Omnibridge) and xDAI bridges, is being deprecated, with active maintenance ending by 22 August 2025 and the Hashi validator removed from the bridge UI by 29 August 2025. The integration, approved by GnosisDAO under GIP-93 on April 2, 2024, is being discontinued because no further GnosisDAO funding has been allocated. Hashi's server infrastructure will be shut down and the deployed components will be feature-frozen, while the canonical bridges continue to operate under their original 4-of-7 multisig validator model. Users do not need to take action, but Hashi-related features are now unsupported and offered "as-is."

Deprecation Notice: Hashi on Gnosis Canonical Bridges ends Maintenance

Hello Gnosis Community,

We’d like to share an important update regarding Gnosis Chain’s canonical bridges(AMB (Omnibridge), xDAI bridge). The Hashi integration initiative — originally approved under GIP‑93 and subsequently implemented across both the AMB & xDAI bridges—will be formally deprecated.

Active maintenance will cease by 22 August 2025.

The Hashi validator will be removed from the bridge UI by 29 August 2025.

Deprecation means that the server infrastructure powering Hashi—responsible for generating/verifying proofs and executing messages once consensus is reached among Hashi oracles—will be shut down. On-chain components (e.g., the Hashi Manager contract and Hashi integrations within the canonical bridges) will remain deployed but is not mandatory for message execution.

The canonical bridges themselves will continue to operate seamlessly under their original 4-of-7 multisig validator security model.

Background

The integration was approved by GnosisDAO members on April 2, 2024 under proposal GIP‑93. It introduced advanced security mechanisms—including the Hashi Manager contract, adapter thresholds, and Hashi-enabled and mandatory validation features—for enhanced robustness in cross-chain bridging.

These enhancements were successfully deployed within Gnosis Chain’s **AMB** and xDAI token bridge, establishing redundancy against oracle failures and systemic risks.

Why the project is deprecated

Unfortunately, ongoing development and maintenance of the project can no longer be supported, as no further funding has been allocated by GnosisDAO funding. Without sufficient resources and governance backing, the project cannot continue in production or evolve further.

Recognition of the team’s work

We would like to express our deepest gratitude to everyone who contributed—developers, auditors, integrators, and community members.

What this means going forward

All active maintenance for Hashi—including support, upgrades, and audits—will be discontinued.

The deployed Hashi components will remain in place but should be considered feature‑frozen; no new functionality, fixes, or improvements will be made.

Canonical bridges remain fully operational, secured by the original 4-of-7 multisig validator model.

The additional zero-knowledge proof validation provided by Hashi will no longer be supported.

Users of the canonical bridges do not need to take any action. Bridge functionality and user experience remain unchanged.

Users who specifically relied on Hashi’s proof-based features should carefully evaluate whether continuing under the canonical bridges’ 4-of-7 multisig model remains suitable for their technical and security requirements.

Any future initiatives may require a new governance proposal and fresh funding allocation.

Please note that all Hashi-related features are now unsupported and remain available on an “as-is” basis. By continuing to use these features, you acknowledge and accept any associated risks. The Bridges Team cannot provide guarantees or assume responsibility for any issues, losses, or damages that may arise. We recommend users explore updated bridge solutions and exercise due diligence. Thank you for your understanding..
