Explore How and Why the Platform is Unique

Gnosis is a decentralized prediction market launched as a blockchain infrastructure provider in 2015. Initially, the team planned to provide a blockchain with similarities to Augur, but soon they realized that there was a need for creating infrastructure tools to help enhance the use cases of Ethereum.

This made the core development team build the needed tools like Safe (multisig and programmable account), COW Protocol, Conditional Tokens, Gnosis Auction, and Zodiac.

In 2021, xDAI and Gnosis DAO communities voted to combine this ecosystem to create the Gnosis chain. This chain aims to solve the scaling issues of the Ethereum blockchain. It is the first Ethereum sidechain and is secured by 140K validators. 

Gnosis Ecosystem Working

The ecosystem has several components that are discussed below

CoW Protocol: It is a permissionless decentralized exchange (DEX) that allows the exchange of any ERC-20 token.

Rather than using automated market makers where users provide liquidity for others to trade against, this protocol matches the buyers and sellers using multi-token batch suction and settles trades at the best available price. The buy and the sell orders are grouped. This is how the Batch auctions work. The users compete to provide the best trade options. Providing the best trade option is called solving and those who provide the trading options are called Solvers.

Solving protects traders against miner extractable value (MEV). This is the maximum value a miner can receive as a result of producing a block over and above the usual block reward and gas fees.

A range of different tokens like DAI/USDC, and LINK/WETH are found in each batch of orders. A method known as ring traders is used to settle them. This clarifies that rather than clearing trades based on matching identical trading pairs, liquidity can be sourced from any order in the batch

Safe: Safe is a multisig wallet on Ethereum. It is suitable for companies and individuals. It is a smart contract wallet on Ethereum. For the completion of orders, it requires a minimum number of approvals.

For example, there are 4 main stakeholders for setting up a wallet in the business but before it is sent, it requires 3 stakeholders to approve a transaction. This has added an enhanced level of security. 

If one stakeholder’s private keys are lost then the funds are not at risk, as they can be retrieved by other stakeholders. Safe can interact with multiple DeFi platforms and it supports Ether, ERC-20 tokens, and ERC-721 tokens.

Gnosis Chain and Gnosis Beacon Chain: The Gnosis chain is the associated execution layer on Ethereum. It uses the xDAI stablecoin to pay the fees and facilitate transactions. Gnosis Beacon Chain (GBC) safeguards the network.

Like Cardano and Solana, GBC uses a proof-of-stake system. In this, the user locks a certain amount of GNO tokens to take part in the transaction validation and they also retain the rewards in GNO for helping to secure the network.

Gnosis DAO: Gnosis DAO is formed in 2020. The treasury of Gnosis DAO has hundreds and thousands of ETH and Millions of GNO tokens.

How is Gnosis (GNO) Secured?

The Gnosis platform uses a series of smart contracts built on the Ethereum platform. Since the smart contracts are on Ethereum, the security is handled by the nodes and the miners who use the Ethereum network securely using the proof of work mechanism.

Regular audits are also performed on the platform. This safeguards that the code on the smart contract is compliant with the Ethereum network and is up-to-date and secure.

Why Buy GNO Tokens?

Those who want to take part in the governance of the Gnosis ecosystem can buy the GNO token. Also, the users who want to improve the scalability issue of the Ethereum ecosystem may be interested in purchasing the GNO tokens. Users who are looking for a way to earn extra rewards on the tokens can do it.

How Many Gnosis Coins are in Circulation?

Gnosis Coins have a circulating supply of 2,589,588 GNO. It has a market cap of $500,762, 919. The 24-hour volume is $9,942,956 and it is ranked at #314. The total supply is 3,000,000 GNO. The coin has a fully diluted market cap of $579,104,756.

The Gnosis platform had an ICO on April 24th, 2017, and 10 Million tokens were generated. It is available on major exchanges, some of which are Kraken, Bitfinex, Bitget, Gate.io, etc.

How is the Gnosis Platform Unique?

The platform is unique as it is provided with market predicting tools. These tools and products attract the traditional blockchain enthusiast. Predictions can be made and anyone can utilize the customized data application for making the arbitrary event tradable.
