PANews reported on January 13th that the infrastructure protocol ETHGas announced the launch of a new governance token, $GWEI, to manage the programmable block space protocol, aiming to usher Ethereum into an era of "real-time execution, predictable costs, and massive gas-free operation." $GWEI holders can participate in governance, delegated voting, protocol proposals, and contingency decision-making. The snapshot is scheduled for January 19, 2026, at 00:00 UTC (January 19, 08:00 Beijing time), and the airdrop rules will be based on historical gas spending and community validation.
