Gnosis

Gnosis (GNO) is a blockchain ecosystem founded in 2015. It began with decentralised markets built around event outcomes and later expanded into asset management, decentralised trading and payments. The project states a mission of giving people broader financial agency and access through an open, collectively owned financial system.

Its products include Safe for securing assets, CoW Protocol for protecting trades and Gnosis Pay for card-based payments using crypto. Gnosis Chain is its own network, described as combining the configurability of a layer-2 with the depth of Ethereum. The project says it aims to be the first blockchain to offer synchronous composability with Ethereum.

The ecosystem also includes Circles, a peer-to-peer money system in which each participant can create currency at an equal pace. Gnosis created an open standard for tokenizing outcomes in 2018. Its engineers also brought the constant product formula on-chain, a design later used widely across decentralised finance.
