🦉Gnosis Weekly Recap ~ 26 October 2024

As we embark on the exciting journey of Gnosis 3.0, we're thrilled to shine a spotlight on a crucial component of our ecosystem: GnosisVC. The fund plays a pivotal role in nurturing and supporting the growth of innovative projects that align with our vision for a decentralized future.

The Role of GnosisVC in Gnosis 3.0

In our recent announcement of Gnosis 3.0, we introduced the concept of a collective of aligned projects connected by the GNO token. GnosisVC is at the heart of this collective, serving as the catalyst for innovation and growth for the Gnosis 3.0 roadmap along with early stage projects within the Ethereum ecosystem.

The GnosisVC Investment Philosophy

GnosisVC leverages a deep technical understanding of the Ethereum ecosystem, its opportunities, and challenges. GnosisVC invests in early-stage projects that contribute to the flourishing of the greater whole. Their focus aligns perfectly with the Gnosis 3.0 thesis, targeting verticals such as:

1. Real World Assets (RWAs)

2. Decentralized Infrastructure

3. Financial Payment Rails

By investing in these areas, they're not just supporting individual projects; they're helping to build the foundation for a more accessible, efficient, and user-friendly financial ecosystem.

Featured Investments

The portfolio showcases some of the most promising projects in the web3 space. Here are a few highlights:

Autonolas (2023)

Autonolas is revolutionizing the way external APIs, automation, and AI interact with blockchain technology. Their mission is to provide a foundation for building new types of autonomous services.

NapthaAI (2024)

Naptha is a modular development framework for connecting and scaling next-generation AI apps leveraging the collaborative intelligence of multi-agent systems on the agentic web.

Other Notable Investments

The portfolio also includes groundbreaking projects like Zerion, 1kx, Idex, The Graph, Snapshot, Coinshift, and Parcel. Each of these projects contributes uniquely to the Web3 ecosystem, from DeFi platforms to governance solutions and treasury management tools.

The Impact of GnosisVC

As a distinct entity from Gnosis, all investments made by GnosisVC accrue to the Gnosis Foundation. This structure ensures that the benefits of our investments flow back into the Gnosis ecosystem, fueling further innovation and growth.

By supporting these projects, they're not just investing in individual companies; they're investing in the future of decentralized finance and web3 technology. Each project in the portfolio contributes to the realization of the Gnosis 3.0 vision: bringing blockchain technology into everyday life and making decentralized financial tools accessible to everyone.
