Gnosis support

Would you ever support gnosischain?

Hi,

There's been some interest in the past and I've looked into integrating Gnosis natively into the current EthPillar.

Two blockers still exist.

There's no nimbus gnosis build binaries yet.
There's no besu support for gnosis.

Another option is creating a separate friendly fork,
Would you be interested in maintaining it?

Thanks for the answer, I wonder if it would be possible to just exclude nimbus and besu from gnosis (until it's supported). But this might not be easy to do.

Anyway I think it could be useful to support, I have been looking for the tools available (for eth and gnosis) and there is a lot of fragmentation. So if EthPillar could be the all-in-one tool, that'd be great for the ecosystem imo.

A fork could indeed also work, if it's kept up to date..

(I don't think I'd be capable of maintaining it, sorry!)

PS: if you do end up supporting gnosis, it would be cool to also have support for the chiado testnet, which is often ignored as people seem to jump straight into gnosis mainnet for their validators because of the low cost of entry.
