Gnosis Chain, formerly known as xDai Chain, functions as a sidechain alongside Ethereum and is managed by Gnosis DAO. Blob.Fm, a content-based platform, was the first Gnosis Chain application to use network blobs. 
These blob transactions, also known as EIP-4844 (or protodanksharding), went live on the Ethereum mainnet at epoch 269568, following the Dencun upgrade. 
On March 12, 2024,<a href="https://x.com/koeppelmann/status/1767474610734325859" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> Martin Köppelmann</a> said on X (formerly Twitter), “No worries, we are already exploring option to save poor&nbsp; Woody by storing blobs permanently with @ethswarm.” 
Soon after, members had an open discussion on which option the Gnosis DAO should choose: either ethswarm or IPFS. The results of the voting are shown below.

To provide some context, Swarm is a peer-to-peer network of Bee nodes that work together to deliver censorship-resistant, decentralized storage and communication services. Swarm’s incentive system is enforced using smart contracts on the Gnosis Chain blockchain and powered by the xBZZ token, making it financially self-sustaining. 
IPFS (Interplanetary File System) is essentially a file system that allows users to store files and monitor changes over time, similar to Git. It also allows users to keep track of them on a distributed network, similar to BitTorrent. This storage solution supports direct interaction through a secure, global P2P network. By combining these two qualities, IPFS creates a permanent new web and improves how interactions with old internet protocols such as HTTP.
