Building a Fair Financial System Together

When we talk about fairness in finance, what do we really mean? Is it just about equal access to banking services, or is there something deeper at play? At Gnosis, we believe true financial fairness means building systems that work the same way for everyone – no special privileges, no hidden advantages, just transparent rules that apply equally to all. This is what we call credible neutrality, and it's the foundation of everything we build.

The Problem with Traditional Finance

Think about how our current financial system works. Banks can freeze your accounts without warning. Money transfers can take days and cost excessive fees. Communities have little say in their economic destiny. These aren't just inconveniences – they're symptoms of a system that wasn't designed to be fair.

A New Financial Stack for Everyone

We're building something different: a complete financial system that puts you in control. Here's how our products work together to make this possible:

Your Money, Your Control: Metri Wallet

Imagine having complete control over your money without needing a PhD in cryptography. That's Metri. Using modern security features like passkeys (think fingerprint or face recognition), Metri makes self-custody as simple as using your favorite banking app. No seed phrases to memorize, no complex setup – just straightforward access to your assets.

Spend Anywhere: Gnosis Pay

What good is financial sovereignty if you can't use your money in the real world? Gnosis Pay bridges this gap with the world's first truly self-custodial Visa® card. Buy your morning coffee, shop online, or pay bills – anywhere Visa is accepted. Plus, earn up to 5% cashback on purchases. The best part? You maintain control of your assets the entire time.

Community-Powered Money: Circles

Communities shouldn't have to rely on traditional banks to create economic systems that work for them. Circles lets groups design and implement their own currency systems, backed by social trust and community connections. Every day, participants receive 24 Circles, creating a continuous flow of community-owned currency that can be used within local networks.

Join the Movement

Building a fair financial system isn't something any one company can do alone – it requires a community. Here's how you can be part of this change:

1. Start with Metri: Download the wallet and experience self-custody made simple
2. Get Gnosis Pay: Turn your digital assets into everyday spending power
3. Explore Circles: Connect with your community and start building local economic resilience

All powered by the security of Gnosis Chain's network of over 300,000 validators. Think of it as a new kind of bank – one where you're in charge, your community has a voice, and the rules are transparent and unchangeable.

Looking Ahead

As we progress through 2025, the need for credibly neutral financial tools becomes increasingly clear. We're building that better system – one that's fair by design, community-driven by nature, and accessible to everyone.

This isn't just about creating new financial tools; it's about reimagining what money can be. It's about building systems that work for everyone, not just a privileged few. And most importantly, it's about doing this together.
