Gnosis

GNO is the governance token of GnosisDAO and the staking token that secures Gnosis Chain.

Gnosis began in 2015 with prediction-market technology and grew into a group of products, including Safe wallets, CoW Protocol for trading and Gnosis Pay, a crypto card for everyday payments. Gnosis Chain is its low-cost blockchain, run on the same software as Ethereum.

GNO has two jobs. It secures Gnosis Chain: anyone can run a validator with 1 GNO and earn variable rewards, and about 295,000 GNO across roughly 52,000 validators were staked in mid-2026. It is also the voting token of GnosisDAO, which controls a large treasury of ETH, bitcoin, stablecoins and stakes in projects such as Safe and CoW.

Total supply is 3 million GNO after large burns; about 1.36 million were in the hands of holders other than the DAO and Gnosis Ltd in June 2026. That month holders approved a one-time option to swap GNO for a share of the treasury, with redeemed tokens taken out of circulation.

In August 2026 GnosisDAO voted to turn Gnosis Chain into a rollup that settles on Ethereum, with the first version targeted around the turn of 2026/27. The plan ends treasury-paid staking rewards, which the proposal says dilute non-stakers by about 2.3% a year, in favour of fees from network activity.
