Gnosis

The mission of Gnosis focuses on experimentation and building decentralized infrastructure for the Ethereum ecosystem. When the platform was established in 2015, it specialized in building prediction markets to streamliestreamline global access to information. During the creation of the prediction market platform, Gnosis put plans in motion to build the infrastructure required to support it.

In November 2021, the xDAI and GnosisDAO community voted to meld their ecosystems to create the Gnosis Chain. The chain is an EVM compatibleEVM-compatible, community ownedcommunity-owned network. It utilizes the xDai token and includes a group of projects and users. It uses the same execution layer and consensus layer clients as Ethereum.

On April 24, 2017, Gnosis concluded theirits initial coin offering (ICO), selling approximately $12.5 million worth of Gnosis (GNO) cryptocurrency.

As a DAO, Gnosis usesutilizes the products that it creates to transparently guide decisions on the development, support, and governance of its ecosystem. Products incubated by Gnosis include the following:

Gnosis Safe (multisig and programmable account), Cow Protocol (formerly CowSwap and Gnosis Protocol), Conditional Tokens (prediction markets), Gnosis Auction, and Zodiac (standard and tooling for composable DAOs) are all products incubated by Gnosis. Their success is demonstrated by the recent spin-out of Cow Protocol and the formation of SafeDAO. By combining needs-driven development with deep technical expertise, Gnosis has built the decentralized infrastructure for the Ethereum ecosystem.

In November 2021, both the xDAI and GnosisDAO community voted to combine their vibrant ecosystems to create the Gnosis Chain: an EVM compatible, community owned network that prioritizes credible neutrality and resiliency. It uses the xDai token and includes a wide-ranging group of projects and users. Secured by over 100k validators around the world, Gnosis Chain has all the tooling you are used to and trustless bridges to mainnet soon. Using the same execution layer and consensus layer clients as Ethereum, Gnosis Chain is compatible with all future EIPs.

Gnosis is a blockchain software development company that offers a decentralized prediction market platform built on top of the Ethereum blockchain. The company has three product lines that allow users to create, trade, and hold digital assets on Ethereum. The company is headquartered in Gibraltar and was founded in 2015 by Martin Koppelmann, Stefan George, Joseph Lubin, and Jeremy Millar.

Gnosis enables companies and individuals to forecast future events with insights gained from capital markets and data science. Users can also build their own decentralized prediction applications on the platform. The platform offers users a multi-signature wallet and Dutch Exchange platform.

Introduction to Gnosis

The Gnosis Protocol V1 was launched in 2020 and is a permissionless decentralized trading protocol (DEX). It has ring trades to maximize liquidity, which is especially useful for illiquid tokens, including prediction market outcome tokens. The protocol does not have an owner, so anyone can list tokens or build integrations on the smart contract level.

The platform employs a dual token structure: Gnosis (GNO) and OWL. GNO are ERC-20 tokens the team sold during their initial coin offering. OWL tokens are earned by staking GNO and are used to pay fees on the platform. The amount of OWL received is dependent on the length of the lock period and the total supply of OWL tokens in the market.
