⚔️🦉Gnosis Chain Weekly · 02 January 2024

Happy New Year to our incredible community! We are extremely excited for 2024. Web3 payments will go mainstream this year and we're laser focused on making Gnosis the best payment network available. Dr. Friederike Ernst, Co-Founder of Gnosis and Gnosis Pay, explained the real-world value proposition of Gnosis Pay in an exclusive interview with the Metaverse Post:

“We often forget that while payments work well for users in the global north, the same can not always be said for the global south. More than 40% of adults in developing nations are not using digital payments. By using efficient Web3 rails, we can help close this gap, ensure financial agency, and enable participation in market economies,” explained Gnosis’ Dr. Friederike Ernst.

Improved UX is a key piece to user adoption and 2024 will be the year that seed phrases finally become a thing of the past. Dr. Ernst also expressed that account abstraction will become widely adopted this year in a recent article featured in CoinDesk.

"The idea that the safety of assets meant having 12 words that you can never lose, but no one else can ever access, is outdated and to a large extent has been holding back progress for actual user adoption. As such, blockchain is in a position to deliver on the promise of inclusive finance that’s been so central to our values since the beginning.” Dr. Friederike Ernst, Co-Founder of Gnosis and Gnosis Pay
