Gnosis

Gnosis is a Web3 infrastructure company founded in 2015 that has evolved from a prediction market platform into a comprehensive blockchain ecosystem provider. The company developed Safe, an industry-standard multisig smart wallet securing over $100 billion in assets; CoW Protocol, a MEV-protected decentralized trading solution; and Zodiac, a modular DAO toolset for customizable on-chain governance. In 2021, Gnosis launched Gnosis Chain through a merger with xDai, an EVM-compatible Layer 1 blockchain designed for low-cost, high-reliability decentralized applications. Gnosis has since expanded into consumer-facing financial applications including Gnosis Pay (a decentralized payments network with Visa card integration) and the Circles protocol (a peer-to-peer money system distributed one unit per hour to every participant). The company is headquartered in Berlin and governed in part through the GNO token and DAO-based decentralized governance. Gnosis's ecosystem aims to democratize financial services by combining institutional-grade blockchain infrastructure with consumer products that rival traditional finance in usability.
