Account identity
Aperture derives and validates the public account under Gnosis Chain rules. It does not assign a generic address from another network family.
Supported production mainnet
Gnosis Chain in Aperture.
A network-aware home for XDAI—with Gnosis Chain addresses, fees, asset identity, transaction state, and safety boundaries kept visible.
Understand the network
Gnosis Chain is not just a ticker.
Gnosis Chain is an EVM-compatible proof-of-stake network with its own validators and chain state.
Address format. A 20-byte EVM account displayed as a 0x-prefixed hexadecimal address.
A stable-value native gas asset does not make a Gnosis transaction an Ethereum transaction. Chain ID and network selection remain essential.
Native asset and tokens
xDAI, shown as XDAI in Aperture’s catalog, pays gas. Tokens are identified by their Gnosis Chain contract addresses.
Fees and transaction state
The network’s native asset pays gas. A transaction hash, receipt, block inclusion, and any rollup settlement stage describe different parts of its lifecycle.
Mainnet boundary
This catalog entry is Gnosis Chain mainnet. Aperture’s production catalog does not expose testnet balances, endpoints, or transaction routes.
Receive safely
The network is part of the address.
In Aperture, choose Gnosis Chain and the exact asset before copying an address or QR code. The sender, exchange, or bridge must use the same mainnet. A matching symbol, logo, or familiar-looking string does not prove compatibility.
- Confirm the receive screen says Gnosis Chain.
- Copy or scan the complete address; do not retype it.
- Check whether the sending service requires an additional memo, tag, or network-specific field.
- For a new route or meaningful amount, consider a small test transfer first.
- Keep the receive screen available until the sender has verified the same network.
Send deliberately
Review what the signature will authorize.
Aperture keeps asset selection, recipient validation, amount, fee review, authorization, broadcast, and finality as distinct stages. Before authorizing a transaction on Gnosis Chain, review the full recipient, the XDAI amount, and the network fee together.
Blockchain transfers may be irreversible. Aperture cannot cancel a confirmed transaction, recover an incorrect destination, or move an asset that was sent through the wrong network.
Transaction signing happens on the device. Public account data, fee requests, transaction history, and the signed transaction may reach network infrastructure; the private signing key is not part of the broadcast payload.
