Gnosis Chain changed how its Ethereum bridge deposits are confirmed, with the xDAI Bridge and Omnibridge now using Ethereum’s Fast Confirmation Rule. That change brings deposit confirmation time down to about 12 seconds, while users and apps keep the same interface.

Key claims & sources

What it means

In practice, the xDAI Bridge and Omnibridge now use Ethereum’s Fast Confirmation Rule, so the confirmation path is different from before. What stays the same is that users and apps do not need to adjust how they interact with the bridges, even though the security basis for the faster processing is not the same as Ethereum finality.
