Our take
Gnosis is a leader in decentralised technology, providing infrastructure and tools for an open internet. Since launching in 2015, it has evolved from a predication market platform to a key web3 player. Its products, like Safe (a multisig wallet) and CoW Protocol (MEV-protected trading), are that the forefront of decentralised finances, while Gnosis Chain offers low-cost, secure blockchain infrastructure.
Beyond infrastructure, Gnosis is building decentralised apps (dApps) focused on payments, decentralised AI, and the open web. Its Gnosis Pay platform offers a crtypto-linked Visa Debit Card, enabling users to spend crypto at millions of Visa-accepting locations, bringing a seamless user experience with decentralised benefits.
This partnership with Visa marks a major step for the company, merging traditional finance with blockchain tech. This collaboration makes crypto payments more accessible and could very well help expand Gnosis' global reach, positioning the company for even more growth and innovation in the future.
