🦉Gnosis Weekly Recap ~ 02 October 2024

After months of hard work we're thrilled to announce the launch of our new brand identity and website at gnosis.io! 

After years of building Web3 infrastructure, Gnosis is expanding its focus on creating applications that bring real value to everyday users. 

The new website allows us to bring all of our products under one roof while showcasing Gnosis Spinouts and our monumental accomplishments of Gnosis to date:

The Safe project (2018+) custodies $100 billion in assets, while the CoW Swap (2021+) is a cornerstone of decentralized finance and karpatkey's Treasury Network exceeds $2 billion in assets. 🦉 💪

The new brand identity for Gnosis is more than a visual update; it's a reflection of our commitment to making economic participation accessible to all through Web3 technologies. 

6 months ago the main Gnosis website resolved to the current content of gnosischain.com — the whole 'Gnosis' story was equal to the 'Gnosis Chain' story.
NOW things are different with the launch of gnosis.io. The Gnosis Story is a composite of big pieces:

Gnosis Studios — the home for 1st party products like Pay, Metri, Circles and Hashi.

GnosisVC — the home for our past portfolio of ~70 investments and the contact point for future investments.

Gnosis Spinouts — where we celebrate past projects like Safe and CoW.

GnosisDAO — where we communicate how to participate in the decentralized governance of the whole project.

Gnosis Chain — the same original content of Gnosis Chain, with an autonomous brand from 'Gnosis'.

About — where we tell a full brand history.

In the past, we quietly shipped. Now is the time to tell the world about Gnosis and why we're positioned well to scale consumer crypto. Our new site highlights Gnosis' foundational role in products like Polymarket, the staggering AUM of Safe, and our S-tier VC portfolio. This will help us build trust as we launch more consumer applications, especially for folks who've never encountered Gnosis before.

Visit our new website gnosis.io to explore how we're shaping the future of decentralized finance and beyond.

Join us in our mission to create a more inclusive digital economy!

Safe co-founder, Lukas Schor authored a thread about the history of Gnosis after the launch of gnosis.io this week. Grab a cup of coffee and check out the post from a Gnosis alumni and industry leader about our accomplishments to date and path ahead.
