Gnosis

Gnosis is a collaborative group of projects that are transforming payment systems to make decentralized financial tools more accessible and user-friendly for everyone. At the heart of the Gnosis ecosystem is the Gnosis Chain, a secure, robust, and decentralized EVM Layer 1 network. The ecosystem also includes Gnosis Studio and GnosisVC, which are dedicated to developing, investing in, and incubating a range of leading decentralized solutions.

These initiatives are building an inclusive infrastructure designed to bridge the divide between blockchain technology and practical, everyday applications.

Gnosis was initiated under ConsenSys Inc., a software company with a focus on Ethereum, in 2015. By 2017, it secured funding and broke away to operate independently, launching its native GNO token in April of that year.

The leadership team is composed of Martin Köppelmann (CEO and co-founder), Stefan George (CTO and co-founder), and Dr. Friederike Ernst (COO).

Martin Köppelmann, the CEO of Gnosis, is a serial entrepreneur renowned in the blockchain community. He holds a degree in IT systems engineering from the Hasso Plattner Institute and has contributed to research on the economic incentives of various consensus mechanisms and scalability solutions.

Stefan George, the CTO and co-founder, 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. His interest in the crypto world began in 2013 when he worked as a research intern at SAP Labs. He later founded Fairlay.com, a centralized Bitcoin prediction market, and worked with several startups in Berlin. Similar to Köppelmann, he has played a part in developing various tech companies in Silicon Valley.

GNO serves as the staking token for Gnosis Chain, the governance token for GnosisDAO, and as an index token for the Gnosis ecosystem. GnosisVC supports, invests in, and incubates early-stage projects, spinning them out when necessary. The connection between these ventures and the token can take different forms: GNO might be used directly as a token, or it could be economically linked with the project tokens.

GNO is the native coin of the Gnosis ecosystem, essential for platform operations and governance. The maximum supply of Gnosis (GNO) is capped at 3,000,000 coins, and at the moment, there are 2,589,588 $GNO in circulation.

GNO holders gain access to the GnosisDAO platform, allowing them to voice their opinions on protocol adjustments, influence the project's development direction, engage in the prediction market, and earn rewards.

Gnosis (GNO) was developed as an ERC-20 token on the Ethereum blockchain. As a result, the network benefits from the security provided by Ethereum's Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism. Gnosis employs a suite of smart contracts on Ethereum, which are regularly audited for security.

Additionally, the platform's multi-signature protocol, Gnosis Safe, provides an extra layer of protection.

Gnosis (GNO) is available on various cryptocurrency exchanges, including Binance, Coinbase Exchange, Kraken, Bitfinex, Uniswap (V2) / (V3), Bittrex, Huobi, Gate.io, Balancer, SushiSwap, Bitget, MEXC, BKEX, Bitvavo, CoinEx, LATOKEN, BitMart, BTCEX, DigiFinex, Dcoin, and others.
