GnosisDAO Approves $40 Million Ecosystem Venture Fund for RWA, Decentralized Infrastructure, and Payment Rail Projects


GnosisDAO

October 23, 2024


In a move to foster innovation in the blockchain sector, GnosisDAO, the decentralized governance body overseeing the Gnosis Chain, has approved the establishment of a $40 million venture fund aimed at nurturing early-stage blockchain projects. This fund will see GnosisDAO contribute $20 million, while the other half will be raised from external limited partners. The initiative is focused on directing investments towards projects centered on the tokenization of real-world assets (RWAs), decentralized infrastructure development, and advancements in financial payment systems.


The GnosisVC fund aims to implement a more targeted investment strategy aligned with the Gnosis 3.0 thesis, as articulated by co-founder Stefan George. The firm has curated a team with a diverse set of skills, including expertise in investment management, legal structuring, and quantitative modeling, to oversee the fund. As part of this evolution, GnosisDAO is shifting its emphasis toward infrastructure, including nodes, decentralized computing, and payment middleware associated with Gnosis Pay.


At its inception, the fund is already invested in several innovative projects, including Monerium, which offers on-chain fiat infrastructure for Web3 developers; Naptha AI, a platform designed for decentralized AI workflows; and Schuman Financial, which focuses on a MiCA-compliant stablecoin protocol. Since its inception, GnosisVC has made investments in over 60 startups, establishing itself as a key player in the decentralized applications and infrastructure landscape.
