Gnosis Chain Node Operators: Client Preferences and Operational Survey

We kindly invite you to participate in the Gnosis Chain Node Operators: Client Preferences and Operational Survey.

This survey aims to gather information on client usage, operational practices, and challenges faced by node operators. Your insights are valuable for understanding the current state of the Gnosis Chain ecosystem.

The survey should take approximately 5-10 minutes to complete. All responses will be kept confidential and used only in aggregate form.

We appreciate your consideration in contributing to this important research.
