Gnosis

Founded in 2015, Gnosis has evolved into a full-stack ecosystem bridging decentralised technology with everyday finance. Gnosis’ mission is to empower every person with greater financial agency and access, while supporting the creation of an open and collectively-owned financial system that benefits all. From its origins in decentralised prediction markets, Gnosis has grown into a full-spectrum provider spanning asset management, decentralised trading, and payments. Its industry-leading innovations include Safe, securing over $58 billion in assets; CoW Protocol, which has protected more than $130 billion in trades; and Gnosis Pay, enabling over $100m in payments to date, via crypto-native cards, for a growing ecosystem of wallets. Gnosis delivers a seamless, collectively-owned financial experience that puts accessibility and ownership at its core.

Gnosis was launched under ConsenSys Inc., an Ethereum-focused software company, back in 2015. Two years later, in 2017, the project won funding and became independent. It launched its native GNO token in April the same year.

The core team is led by Martin Köppelmann (CEO and co-founder), Stefan George (CTO and co-founder) and Dr. Friederike Ernst (COO).

Gnosis CEO Martin Köppelmann is a serial entrepreneur and recognizable figure in the blockchain space. He has an IT systems engineering degree from the Hasso Plattner Institute, and helped research the economic incentive structure of various consensus mechanisms and scalability solutions.

Gnosis CTO and co-founder Stefan George is a software developer with a bachelor's degree in systems engineering from the University of Potsdam and a master's degree from the Hasso Plattner Institute. He became interested in the crypto industry back in 2013, when he served as a research intern at Sap labs. He went on to found fairlay.com (a centralized Bitcoin prediction market) and work for some Berlin-based startups. Like Köppelmann, he also helped develop various technology companies in Silicon Valley.

GNO is the staking token of Gnosis Chain and the governance token for the GnosisDAO and an index token for the Gnosis ecosystem. GnosisVC incubates, invests in, and supports projects in all early stages, spinning incubated projects out where appropriate. The relationship between these ventures and the token can take several forms: Either GNO is used as a token directly or the Gnosis token is economically coupled with the project tokens.

GNO is the native cryptocurrency of the Gnosis ecosystem. It's used to operate and govern the platform. Gnosis (GNO) has a total maximum supply of 3,000,000 coins. At the time of writing, the circulating supply is 2,589,588 $GNO.

GNO owners are given access to the GnosisDAO platform, where they can express their opinion on protocol changes, influence the project development vector, participate in the prediction market and receive rewards.

Gnosis (GNO) was built on the Ethereum blockchain as an ERC-20 token. Consequently, the whole network is secured by Ethereum’s Proof-of-Stake ( PoS ) consensus mechanism. The Gnosis platform has a series of smart contracts that are deployed on Ethereum and are frequently audited.

On top of that, the platform’s multi-sig protocol - Gnosis Safe - acts as an additional security layer.
