I also wanted to follow up with responses to all unanswered questions. I’m sorry that I didn’t get to this sooner. We’ll do better next time.
What is the status of Cash Back?
There have been several changes to adoption incentives in recent months.
Gnosis has tightened the incentive structure and shifted to empowering Gnosis Pay’s wallet partners to design their own schemes to optimize on chain activity and usage.
Pic Nic is the first to adopt their own program. This included stabilising fx for a Real → USD payment corridor and adding insurance. The new scheme led them to bring more of their savings products to Gnosis Chain and they have discontinued the previous cash back program.
Rebind and Zeal have extended their cash back schemes until March 31st while they finalise their own approaches.
Gnosis Pay users will continue to receive cash back as normal until March 31st. After that we encourage everyone to migrate to Gnosis App to participate in the new CRC cash back scheme.
Gnosis App is running it’s own cash back scheme based on CRC.
Will the Gnosis Pay OG NFT be of value and still add 1% in Gnosis App?
Gnosis App will have its own NFT and our long term supporters will have a chance to participate but we are still working out the details.
Gnosis App is offering an extra 1% to community contributors for specific tasks (so far it’s : attending events, testing products/thoughtful product feedback, or by helping to secure user interviews with the target audience in Ireland).
Gnosis seems to no longer be a priority at Cowswap, which suggests a multichain future. Isn't this a double-edged sword that could make the Gnosis Chain itself more irrelevant?
Gnosis and CowSwap continue to work closely together. There has been no change in this regard. If there is a specific concern please let us know and we’ll investigate it fully.
You are one of the few European actors in the ecosystem; does the European Union support you in any way, directly or indirectly?
Gnosis receives no direct or indirect support from the European Union.
Will Gnosis leadership commit to supporting security researchers and expanding the bug bounties to cover gnosis specific code that is stewarded by Gnosis developers / affiliates?
This definitely makes a lot of sense and we’re supportive of it. But there’s nothing concrete to share right now.
Are subscription models planned for Gnosis Pay/Gnosis App? If not, how is the long-term economic sustainability of Gnosis Pay planned?
Gnosis Pay has transitioned to a B2B product that enables FinTech builders. They pay us for plug-and-play card infrastructure, compliance tooling, and aggregated on and off ramps.
Gnosis App does not intend to implement the Revolut model of subscription fees, but is looking at value-added products / services and will make reasonable fees on transactions as the product evolves. For now we are focused on user acquisition.
What is the current overall view of incentives for the Gnosis Chain? Are there any specific plans to boost the use of the chain beyond Gnosis Pay?
We will continue to incentivize the use of Gnosis Chain, which is monetizable in the long term. This includes Gnosis Pay, xDAI as a savings account, and trading on FX pairs (EURe).
Regarding the Gnosis App, I was a bit blocked by the fact that I could only log into it via "Passkey" - is there any plan to support other ways to log in?
Other log in methods are not on the current roadmap for Gnosis App. We would revisit that if we saw significant demand for this from end users. Our priority for Gnosis App is to create an intuitive user experience for mainstream consumers and passkeys play a role in this since they are much simpler to manage than private keys and don’t require technical knowledge to understand and use.
How long will the price of CRC be supported by Gnosis? If there is no timeframe for this, what are the framework conditions that will be used for the decision?
We still have conviction that Circles and CRC have high potential as a project, but we will not support it indefinitely. If the project can’t demonstrate a level of product-market fit within the next 12-18 months we will re-evaluate it.
What is the priority for developing the native Gnosis app? This is a missing piece of the puzzle for onboarding the masses.
Gnosis App as a native iOS/Android app is on our roadmap. For now, Gnosis App as a PWA gives us great flexibility and iteration speed to quickly improve UX and introduce new features, while also avoiding the hassle that is dealing with Google’s and Apple’s stores.
What developments (roadmap) can we expect for 2026? What’s the expected growth of Gnosis for this year?
Gnosis App released on iOS/Android app stores. Gnosis Pay expanded to more countries and currencies, as well as new chains.
Many thanks again to all those who participated!
