Most recently Gnosis launched, Gnosis Pay, which allows users to spend crypto anywhere through the Gnosis VISA-supported debit card, and more. What role does GNO play in the Gnosis ecosystem? GNO is the staking token of Gnosis Chain and the governance token for the GnosisDAO and an index token for the Gnosis ecosystem. Gnosis Ventures incubates, invests in, and supports projects in all early stages, spinning incubated projects out where appropriate. The relationship between these ventures and the token can take several forms: Either GNO is used as a token directly or the Gnosis token is economically coupled with the project tokens.
