🦉Gnosis Weekly Recap ~ 04 December 2024

What if we could redesign money from the ground up to be truly equitable? Circles is doing exactly that with their groundbreaking v2 release. By allowing every participant to mint their own currency and introducing innovative Circles Groups - where communities can create and manage their own currencies - Circles is revolutionizing how we think about financial systems. With personal Circles as ERC1155 tokens and Group Circles as ERC20 tokens, the technical foundation is now stronger than ever.

As we prepare for the public launch of Circles v2, complete with the new Metri wallet and Gnosis Pay integration, you have the chance to be among the first 10,000 users shaping this financial revolution.
