Gnosis

Making money more empowering for humans by building an open, user-owned financial ecosystem.

Built as infrastructure bridging traditional finance and crypto, Gnosis provides the API and card-program infrastructure that enables wallets, fintechs, and businesses to issue stablecoin-powered payment cards. Users can spend stablecoins directly from their on-chain wallet using a Visa debit card, with transactions executed through secure smart-wallets rather than traditional bank accounts. This lets users retain full custody of their assets while paying anywhere Visa is accepted. Founded in 2015 as a prediction market platform, Gnosis has evolved into a comprehensive Web3 ecosystem with products like Safe (securing over $58 billion in assets), CoW Protocol (facilitating $130 billion in trades), and Gnosis Pay (processing over $100 million in payments). The company operates as a globally distributed team of 200+ professionals, governed by GnosisDAO and united by the GNO token.

Products

Gnosis Pay is the core B2B offering - API and card-program infrastructure that connects on-chain wallets to real-world spending through Visa debit cards. The broader ecosystem includes Gnosis Chain (an EVM-compatible Layer 1 blockchain), Safe (the industry-standard multisig wallet), CoW Protocol (MEV-protected decentralized trading), and Zodiac (modular DAO governance tools). The consumer-facing Gnosis App provides users with a European IBAN and Visa debit card. Gnosis Business facilitates stablecoin-based corporate banking, while the Circles Protocol enables decentralized peer-to-peer currency systems.

Funding

Gnosis raised $12.5 million through a 2017 ICO by selling 4% of its token supply. In July 2022, the company secured a $100 million late-stage funding round led by 1kx and Tiger Global Management. Today, Gnosis Ltd. manages a DAO treasury valued at over $220 million. The organization has processed over $1 trillion in transaction volume and now actively invests in other Web3 projects, including co-leading a $4.4 million seed round for Sorted Wallet with Tether in 2024. Current estimated annual revenue is approximately $29.6 million.

Recent news

In early June 2026, Gnosis Pay experienced a security exploit targeting its "delay module" smart contract. Gnosis temporarily suspended affected accounts to contain the breach, and leadership pledged that the company would fully reimburse all user losses. By June 4, 2026, Gnosis Pay began safely re-enabling user accounts in phased waves.

Technology

Backend services are built primarily in Go, with an ongoing migration from TypeScript for performance and scalability. The stack includes RESTful APIs, PostgreSQL for transaction data, and integrations with Formance ledger and WorkOS. On the Web3 side, Solidity handles smart contract development alongside Hardhat and Ethers.js frameworks. Transactions execute through secure smart-wallets (Safe) and scale using zkEVM Layer-2 solutions on Gnosis Chain. Docker and Nomad manage containerization and orchestration for Visa-integrated payment flows and B2B2C platforms.

Benefits

Personal development support includes education budgets and conference allowances. Friday afternoons can be dedicated to research or side projects within the ecosystem. The company maintains a flat hierarchy where ideas are valued, flexible working schedules, and a long-standing remote work culture. Employees receive state-of-the-art equipment and tools. Regular team retreats provide in-person collaboration opportunities, with access to coworking spaces in hub locations like Berlin, Lisbon, and Gibraltar. Additional perks include generous time-off policies and a birthday day off. Gnosis is an equal opportunity employer committed to fostering a diverse, inclusive, community-driven culture.
