2024 GnosisDAO Year in Review: Bridging Web3 to Everyday Users
2024 marked a transformative year for Gnosis as it successfully bridged the gap between robust infrastructure and everyday user applications. Following years of building foundational Web3 technology, Gnosis emerged with consumer-focused solutions that maintained its core principles of self-custody and decentralization. The launch of gnosis.io in October crystallized this vision, unifying diverse projects under a cohesive brand while showcasing Gnosis’s evolution from prediction markets to a full-stack Web3 ecosystem. With Gnosis Pay processing over 5 million euros in transactions, Metri wallet’s successful launch, and Circles’ reimagined community currencies, Gnosis demonstrated that blockchain technology can deliver familiar user experiences without compromising on decentralization principles.
