2024 marked a watershed moment in Gnosis's evolution, crystallizing our vision of full-stack decentralization through powerful consumer-facing applications built on battle-tested infrastructure. With October's launch of gnosis.io and a bold new brand identity, Gnosis 3.0 emerged as a collective of aligned projects revolutionizing how everyday people interact with digital economies. After years of methodically building Web3's foundations - from Safe's $100B in secured assets to CoW Protocol's revolutionary trading and Gnosis Chain's 300,000-strong validator network - this banner year saw Gnosis deliver applications that rival traditional banking experiences while preserving self-custody and credible neutrality. Through Gnosis Pay's self-custodial Visa cards, the intuitive Metri wallet, and Circles' reimagined community currencies, we demonstrated that open finance can feel as familiar as checking your phone while remaining revolutionary in its impact. As mainstream users and institutions increasingly seek alternatives to traditional financial systems, Gnosis stands uniquely positioned to scale blockchain technology beyond infrastructure, empowering everyone to participate in the next generation of digital economies.
