Gnoland adopt dual token model split governance/staking token and the fee token which different with other cosmos and most layer1. [http://gno.land](https://t.co/9HdmhzQIp3) will have proof-of-contribution. [$GNOT](https://twitter.com/search?q=%24GNOT&src=cashtag_click) is the fee token, while [$GNOSH](https://twitter.com/search?q=%24GNOSH&src=cashtag_click) is earned. Will this be a more sustainable token model.

The more traction a blockchain gets, the more tokens are likely to get unstaked to be used as gas fees, which leads to a decrease of the security of the Network. Having a dual token model addresses this issue. A fixed-constant-inflationary fee token that’s solely dedicated to fueling the contracts of the blockchain will allow users to hold the token in a wallet for future usages without worrying about the value of tokens getting inflated away.

Another most mentioned is Gnoland adopts a new language called Gnolang, a fork of the Golang.While most commonly used languages in the current blockchain development environment are Solidity for EVM-compatible networks and Rust for Solana and Cosmos SDK-based networks; both Solidity and Rust are inspired by C++.Although all of the above are excellent languages, Gnolang inherits faster compiling speed, more concise grammar, and resource-effective concurrency from Golang.

Will it be a war between different language this year? Some of the most attention chain like both Aptos and Sui use Move, a Rust-based programming language, also claiming to have a convenient language. Gnoland experiment may still exciting everyone.
