Gnosis
World Trade Center 6, Bayside Road, Gibraltar, GX11 1AA
Overview
In late 2020, Gnosis announced plans to fully decentralize into a DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization). Today, the GnosisDAO treasury has effective control of over 150K ETH and 8 Million GNO tokens, with the GNO tokens vested over 8 years. A year later, in 2021, the xDAI and GnosisDAO communities voted to combine their vibrant ecosystems to create the Gnosis Chain: An Ethereum forerunner companion that addresses scaling issues through solid engineering. Gnosis Chain is the associated execution-layer EVM chain for stable transactions. It uses the xDai token and includes a wide-ranging group of projects and users. The Gnosis mission has always been centered on experimentation and building decentralized infrastructure for the Ethereum ecosystem. When Gnosis was founded in 2015, it focused on building prediction markets to enable worldwide access to accurate information. While creating the prediction market platform, it became clear that Gnosis needed to build the infrastructure required to support it. As a DAO, Gnosis uses the products that it creates to transparently guide decisions on the development, support, and governance of its ecosystem. Gnosis Safe (multisig and programmable account), Cow Protocol (formerly CowSwap and Gnosis Protocol), Conditional Tokens (prediction markets), Gnosis Auction, and Zodiac (standard and tooling for composable DAOs) are all products incubated by Gnosis. Their success is demonstrated by the recent spin-out of Cow Protocol and the formation of SafeDAO. By combining needs-driven development with deep technical expertise, Gnosis has built the decentralized infrastructure for the Ethereum ecosystem.

- Sorted Wallet
Led · Seed · May 2026
Launched in 2022, Sorted Wallet is a non-custodial crypto wallet optimized for low-resource mobile devices and feature phones, with an app size of about 10MB. The wallet has been downloaded roughly 500,000 times, with fastest growth in Nigeria, Kenya, Tanzania, Bangladesh, Madagascar and some Central American markets including Mexico. Sorted emphasizes mobile-operator integrations and aims to enable stablecoin-based payments and broader crypto adoption in regions with limited smartphone or data access. The company is rolling out a new payment mechanism in May and intends to expand geographically into Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. Financially, Sorted recently raised a $4.4 million seed round comprising $3.4 million in equity led by Tether and Gnosis and $1 million in strategic support from Vox Solutions, with participation from Movement, Angel Invest Group and individual angels.
- Robin Markets
Participated · Seed · Apr 2026
Robin Markets offers a staking product that wraps users’ existing Polymarket positions into yield‑bearing DeFi instruments, enabling holders to earn income before events resolve. The company launched its V1 staking product to the public concurrent with its $475,000 angel raise. It positions itself as a specialist in “Polymarket position yields,” explicitly tying growth to Polymarket’s volumes and open interest. The startup closed the angel round led by Fabric VC with participation from several crypto and institutional investors to support product launch and scaling. Robin’s strategy is a targeted infrastructure bet on prediction‑market primitives within a broader venture environment heavily focused on AI. The company has not disclosed revenue or user metrics in the articles.
- Atrya
Led · Seed · Nov 2025
Founded in 2024 by Lorian Qorraj, Benjamin James and Julia Beermann, Atrya is building a native blockchain network for payment service providers and financial institutions. Its architecture relies on e-money tokens—created in collaboration with Dutch stablecoin issuer Quantoz—and is designed to comply with Europe’s forthcoming MiCAR regulations. The platform supports cross-border payments, agent-to-agent transfers, refinancing and e-commerce settlement, aiming to eliminate legacy intermediaries such as Visa, Mastercard, SEPA and ACH. Early pilots are already running with partners in Europe, the United States, Asia and Latin America. Management believes the market opportunity is large, noting that fewer than 0.5% of international transactions from Germany currently settle in stablecoins. Atrya is actively pursuing a MiCAR electronic-money license to bring its solution fully on-chain. The recent pre-seed financing provides initial capital to refine the product and expand regulatory and commercial partnerships.
- Naptha AI
Participated · Seed · Oct 2024
Naptha AI offers a platform for building and deploying large, decentralized systems of cooperating AI agents, positioning AGI as networks of collaborating entities rather than a single monolith. The product emphasizes multi-agent orchestration, seamless integration with existing agent frameworks, and economic systems for agentic networks (Multi-Agent Universal Intelligence, MAUI). The platform targets use cases across software development, scientific research, predictive analytics, healthcare and other industries that can benefit from coordinated, specialized agents. Founders Mark Schmidt and Richard Blythman bring open-source AI and research backgrounds, with contributors from projects like Nous Research, AutoGPT and LocalAI. Naptha promotes a trustless, scalable architecture intended to let developers build on each other’s work and enable cooperative, remunerated agent ecosystems. The company recently closed a $6 million pre-seed round to advance its roadmap toward large-scale, decentralized multi-agent systems.
