# Awesome Gnosis Chain Staking Resources


Gnosis is a community-run chain that is created by nodes run by thousands of ordinary people around the globe. As a distributed network, a diverse set of nodes ensure that the network is resilient to technical failures. A diversity of nodes run across many countries ensures the network can remain credibly neutral infrastructure.

# Solo Staking

Running a node is perhaps the most profound way to contribute to a blockchain network. By running a node, you -are- the network. Together with other nodes run by others around the planet, you form part of a global network that is anti-fragile and resilient.

# Liquid Staking

Liquid staking providers allow anyone to stake without running the infrastructure themselves. It also gives stakers an opportunity to use their tokenized staked resources (sGNO & rGNO) for yield farming, borrowing or compounding while still protecting the protocol.

# Chiado

Chiado is optimized for testnet stability for developers, and has a semi-permissioned validator set similar to Ethereum's Sepolia testnet
