🦉Gnosis Chain Weekly · 07 June 2024
Hello Gnoseers!
DappCon 2024 wrapped up this year with record ticket sales and attendance. Thank you to the Gnosis community, to our sponsors and speakers who made DappCon a standout event on the Ethereum conference circuit. DappCon 2024 emphasized openness and accessibility in digital infrastructure and the internet across seven themed tracks; Infrastructure/Scalability, AI, DeFi, Payments, RWA, Privacy, and User Adoption. DappCon is an important yearly event for the Gnosis community - a diverse group of people dedicated to accelerating the adoption of Ethereum. Berlin, as a significant location for Ethereum's inception, is also an ideal location for our community to convene year after year.
For Gnosis, DappCon was an opportunity to showcase the state of its ecosystem with the official launch of Metri along with keynote presentations about Circles and Gnosis Pay. After years of building resilient and open infrastructure, Gnosis is finally in a position to offer the public highly usable products built on top of its battle tested tech stack.

Built on Gnosis Chain, Metri offers reliable self-custodial management of crypto assets. As an onchain self-custodial wallet operating within the Gnosis ecosystem, Metri allows a wider set of users to access decentralized financial applications.
Metri’s onboarding and transaction authorization processes are streamlined through Passkey integration, leveraging WebAuthn, while Web3 Connectivity enables seamless interaction with decentralized protocols and exchanges.
“The unveiling of Metri signifies a pivotal moment in the Gnosis 3.0 roadmap, marking the transition from infrastructure development to user-centric, onchain application,” Gnosis co-founder Friederike Ernst said. “As the gateway to this new era, Metri embodies our vision of democratizing the benefits of DeFi, serving as a comprehensive mobile-first solution on decentralized and open platforms.
While research and development will always be a primary driving force for Gnosis, the current Gnosis 3.0 roadmap is focused on user adoption and growth. Metri provides a low friction onboarding experience to other core Gnosis products like Gnosis Pay, Circles, and CowSwap. Our community can also register their chosen identity across all of these applications by using GNO domains, a recently launched product from Gnosis called Genome.
Critically, DappCon 2024, as it does every year, allows Gnosis and the wider Ethereum community to convene and discuss the extent to which we've embraced the foundational values of access, privacy and credible neutrality in the infrastructure and products that we're collectively building. Values that are implicit to a world that we're building because we believe that it has something of real substance for everyone, regardless of their identity, economic power or station of birth.
That's a wrap on Dappcon 2024!

🦉DappCon Highlights
Circles 2.0
Martin Koppelmann outlined the vision for Circles 2.0 at DappCon including a proposal for how Gnosis can perform a large scale growth program combining the use of Circles and GNO incentives. Circles is a decentralized social monetary system built on personal currencies and a trust-based social graph.
