Gnosis Ecosystem

Last updated: September 2026

Overview​

The Gnosis ecosystem includes the products built under Gnosis, independent projects that run on Gnosis Chain, and partners who integrate with Gnosis products or standards. This page groups them by relationship, not by category alone, so it is clear how each project sits relative to Gnosis.

For live TVL, validator counts, and transaction metrics, see DeFiLlama and GnosisScan.

Gnosis-Native Products​

Products built and operated under Gnosis, the branded house:

  • Gnosis Chain — community-owned EVM L1. Chain ID 100. Native gas token xDAI (USD-pegged, USDS-backed). Shutterized mempool via Shutter Network. Following GIP-153, Gnosis Chain is transitioning from a standalone L1 into the first EEZ instance, settling natively on Ethereum. Addresses, balances, and contract state carry over; xDAI remains the gas token.
  • Safe — smart-account infrastructure securing $100B+. Independently governed (SafeDAO) but deeply integrated across the Gnosis stack.
  • CoW Protocol — batch-auction DEX with MEV protection. Powers CoW Swap and CoW AMM.
  • Circles — trust-graph community currency. Circles v2 on Gnosis Chain.
  • Gnosis Pay — self-custodial Visa card infrastructure. Over $100M lifetime transaction volume, 2M+ payments processed. Now an enterprise-grade stablecoin card programme manager: V2 is live with its first enterprise client, MiniPay; the V1 consumer programme shuts down by December 2026 with all clients migrating to V2.
  • Gnosis Business — wound down in 2026 (per GIP-154). Was on-chain business banking built on the former HQ.xyz, acquired via GIP-120 (revised).
  • Gnosis Ramp — B2B stablecoin on and off ramp, beta launched March 2026.
  • GnosisVC — $40M ecosystem fund.

Spun out of Gnosis Ltd in 2026:

  • Gnosis App (Metri) — consumer PWA combining Circles and the Gnosis Pay card. Now its own entity, funded through its own GIP.

Ethereum Economic Zone (EEZ)​

The Ethereum Economic Zone is a framework for ZK-proven rollups that settle natively on Ethereum and are synchronously composable with it. It is a credibly neutral public good with no token, governed by a separate non-profit based in Switzerland, co-led by Gnosis and ZisK (Jordi Baylina) and co-funded by the Ethereum Foundation. It is not a Gnosis product: Gnosis Ltd co-develops the framework and, per GIP-153, operates Gnosis Chain as its first instance.

DeFi Protocols on Gnosis Chain​

Lending​

  • Aave v3 — dominant multi-chain lending market
  • Spark — Sky (formerly Maker) lending and stablecoin savings

AMMs and Exchanges​

  • Curve — stablecoin-optimized AMM
  • Balancer — weighted-pool AMM and LST liquidity
  • Uniswap v3 (via Oku) — concentrated liquidity with a pro trading UI
  • SushiSwap — multi-chain AMM and aggregator

Prediction Markets​

  • Polymarket — largest prediction-market venue. Over $7B monthly volume (Feb 2026). Built on the Gnosis-authored Conditional Tokens Framework.
  • Presagio (formerly Omen) — the Gnosis-native prediction market, maintained by SwaprHQ and DXdao (grant-funded via GIP-113)

Autonomous Agents​

  • Autonolas (Olas) — AI-agent protocol. Independent DAO, multi-chain, but on many days over 75% of Gnosis Chain Safe transactions are Olas agents.

Stablecoins, Payments, and RWAs​

  • Monerium — Icelandic regulated EMI (MiCA-authorized). Issues EURe and GBPe. The regulated EUR settlement layer for Gnosis Pay.

Infrastructure and Standards​

Smart Accounts and Modules​

  • Gnosis Guild — DAO-tooling collective behind Zodiac (Reality, Roles, Delay, Exit modules). Zodiac-enabled contracts secure $710M+ and underpin the Gnosis Pay GP Safe.

Standards Originated at Gnosis​

  • Conditional Tokens Framework (CTF) — Gnosis-authored standard powering Polymarket, Presagio, Olas Predict markets, and the Futarchy Labs governance pilot
  • CoW batch auctions — MEV-protected trade settlement, now adopted broadly

Privacy​

  • Shutter Network — threshold-encrypted mempool. Gnosis Chain is its first mainnet deployment.
  • HOPR — incentivized privacy mixnet. Flagship product is Gnosis VPN, funded by GIP-98, GIP-122, and GIP-129.

Bridges and Oracles​

Governance and Treasury Partners​

  • Noca (Noctua) — GnosisDAO treasury manager appointed via GIP-148 (Jan 2026, ranked-choice vote). Non-custodial mandate, $1.5M per year cap.
  • Futarchy Labs — 9-month advisory futarchy pilot contracted via GIP-145. Uses the Conditional Tokens Framework to estimate GNO-price impact of proposals.
  • Karpatkey (kpk) — former GnosisDAO treasury manager. Relationship terminated by GIP-143 (Nov 2025, 88% support).

Gnosis Pay Wallet Partners (Intermediary Programme)​

Chain Metrics​

Snapshot, April 2026. For live figures, see DeFiLlama and GnosisScan.

Note: the validator and staking figures below describe Gnosis Chain as a standalone L1. Under GIP-153 the validator set is sunset and settlement security moves to Ethereum, so these rows will no longer apply once the transition completes.

MetricValue
TVL~$90M (DeFiLlama, April 2026)
Validators>300,000 (August 2025)
Validator distribution~70 countries
Staking requirement1 GNO
Staking APY~8.5% (early 2026)
