Gnosis Pay

This week Gnosis co-founder Martin Koppelmann announced the launch of Gnosis Pay and the release of the Gnosis Card at EthCC, generating a huge buzz.

Gnosis Pay is the first decentralized payment network allowing web3 developers to integrate with a range of traditional payment schemes including Visa. Gnosis Pay allows users to spend their digital assets anywhere Visa is accepted with the same quick, seamless transactions they expect from a traditional debit card. Gnosis Card is the world’s first officially Visa-certified self-custodied consumer debit card directly connected to an onchain wallet instead of a traditional bank account, built on the Gnosis Pay decentralized payment network.

Check out Martin's talk at EthCC where he delves into the specifics of Gnosis Pay and walks through a live demo of the Gnosis Card.
