Gnosis Chain’s planned shift to Ethereum settlement and a data breach affecting Gnosis Pay’s own-branded cards were among the payment-related developments in BlockBeats’ November 2–8 roundup, published on November 9, 2026, at 11:31:57 UTC+8.
Gnosis targets Ethereum settlement in spring 2027
Gnosis announced a goal of moving Gnosis Chain from an independent layer-1 network to Ethereum settlement through a hard fork in spring 2027. Existing contracts, balances and addresses would be preserved under the plan.
The announcement described a target, not a completed migration. For users and applications, the stated continuity concerns those existing contracts, balances and addresses; the roundup did not provide further migration steps.
Gnosis Pay card data exposed; funds reportedly unaffected
Gnosis disclosed that a legacy system used for Gnosis Pay’s own-branded cards suffered unauthorized access on November 3. That is the date of the intrusion, not a specified disclosure date.
Exposed information included customers’ card numbers, CVVs, residential addresses and linked-wallet data. Gnosis said funds were unaffected. The distinction matters: the reported incident involved sensitive card and wallet-linked information, even though it did not affect funds.
Circle signs agreement to acquire Tazapay
Separately, Circle disclosed in its quarterly report that it had signed a definitive agreement to acquire Tazapay, a Singapore-based cross-border payments company. Completion was expected in 2027; the roundup did not describe the acquisition as closed.
These developments were reported in the original November 2026 roundup and are not presented here as current announcements.
