Gnosis Chain Tips
Because gas is xDAI, arriving with a little xDAI is all you need to transact.
Mistakes to Avoid
- No xDAI for gas on arrival.
- Wrong address format: Gnosis Chain uses 0x (EVM) addresses.
- Fake bridge sites: use the widget or bookmarked apps, never links from direct messages; see crypto bridge safety.
