Jeff Horseman got into journalism because he liked to write and stunk at math. He grew up in Vermont and he honed his interviewing skills as a supermarket cashier by asking Bernie Sanders “Paper or plastic?” After graduating from Syracuse University in 1999, Jeff began his journalistic odyssey at The Watertown Daily Times in upstate New York, where he impressed then-U.S. Senate candidate Hillary Clinton so much she called him “John” at the end of an interview. From there, he went to Annapolis, Maryland, where he covered city, county and state government at The Capital newspaper. Today, Jeff writes about anything and everything. Along the way, Jeff has covered wildfires, a tropical storm, 9/11 and the Dec. 2 terror attack in San Bernardino. If you have a question or story idea about politics or the inner workings of government, please let Jeff know. He’ll do his best to answer, even if it involves a little math.
  • Initially, it will be marketed in the UK, the European Union, and the European Economic Area.
  • Gnosis Pay is the result of a partnership between Gnosis and the payment processor SaltPay.

Blockchain industry frontrunner Gnosis has introduced Gnosis Pay and Gnosis Card, the first fully decentralized payment network and self-custodial debit card. This was announced during the biggest annual European Ethereum 04-days event, The Ethereum Community Conference (EthCC).

Using a Visa-certified consumer debit card linked to an on-chain self-custodial wallet, the Ethereum-based sidechain Gnosis offers Gnosis Pay and Gnosis Card, a first in the integration of decentralized payment networks with conventional processors.

Boosting Crypto Adoption

Initially, it will be marketed in the United Kingdom, the European Union, and the European Economic Area. The United States, Brazil, Mexico, Singapore, and Hong Kong are all on the list of target markets for Q4 expansion. This new service stands out from similar Web3 payment cards and is expected to boost crypto adoption.

These novel services allow customers to utilize stablecoins and the Visa payment system to make transactions online. Working as a layer 2 solution on the chain, Gnosis Pay is the result of a partnership between Gnosis and the payment processor SaltPay.

The Gnosis Card will support EURe, a stablecoin tied to the Euro, upon launch. The developers behind Gnosis Pay are hard at work adding support for MakerDAO’s decentralized stablecoin, DAI. Gnosis Pay will first provide a physical card and a web application; a mobile app is in development.  The $30 EURe registration fee ushers in a new age of cryptocurrency transactions, thus boosting adoption.

Despite Gnosis’s separation from Safe in July, the two companies remain closely connected, as seen by the inclusion of Safe wallets in Gnosis’s most recent product offerings.
