GnosisDAO Governance Summary ~ 21 July 2023
This week Gnosis co-founder Martin Koppelmann announced the launch of Gnosis Pay and the release of the Gnosis Card at EthCC, generating a huge buzz.
Gnosis Pay is the first decentralized payment network allowing web3 developers to integrate with a range of traditional payment schemes including Visa. Gnosis Pay allows users to spend their digital assets anywhere Visa is accepted with the same quick, seamless transactions they expect from a traditional debit card. Gnosis Card is the world’s first officially Visa-certified self-custodied consumer debit card directly connected to an onchain wallet instead of a traditional bank account, built on the Gnosis Pay decentralized payment network.
Check out Martin's talk at EthCC where he delves into the specifics of Gnosis Pay and walks through a live demo of the Gnosis Card.

GIP-88: Should Gnosis Chain provide liquidity for Circles Group Currencies in collaboration w/Proof of Humanity? 🔴 Failed Quorum on July 17, 2023
CirclesUBI is a dapp running on Gnosis Chain which distributes a Universal Basic Income (UBI) via a P2P mesh credit protocol. Recently, a secondary issuance mechanism has been developed, called Group Currencies, as a way to bridge Circles to state money systems and crypto-assets. We propose that Gnosis Chain provides liquidity to two specific group currencies: the BER group currency administered by the Circles Coop e.G. and the Proof of Humanity (POH) group currency administered by the POH Origin team. By partnering with projects like Monerium, the goal is to pave the way to position Circles as a leading real world payment application that provides a UBI to people worldwide, strengthening the Gnosis ecosystem. The total costs of the project are 1,700,000 EUR for a period of one year from the moment the proposal gets accepted by the Gnosis DAO.
