In episode 178, we’re excited to welcome Dr. Friederike Ernst, Co-Founder of Gnosis and Gnosis Pay, to dive into how Gnosis has evolved from its early days to where it is now. We’ll explore how Gnosis is building practical Web3 solutions, the challenges of making cryptocurrency tools accessible to everyone, Gnosis’ unique approach to decentralized governance, designing practical crypto user interfaces, and what the future holds for decentralized applications in real-world use cases.

--Key Takeaways--

For Web3 to succeed, the tools being created need to be better than their Web2 alternatives. When building decentralized tools, it’s important to ask yourself what legacy tools exist, and if they could be made better if they were built in a decentralized manner.
We need to “put up the drywall to hide the pipes” behind Web3 applications. This includes implementing gas abstraction so users don’t have to pay gas for each transaction, improving user flows and minimizing the number of approvals that need to happen, and displaying readable text when signing transactions, among other things.
To make large scale changes to the global financial systems, the most practical approach is to chip away at it over time, decentralizing parts of the system one at a time, until the system as a whole has been decentralized.
Don’t start by trying to onboard the next billion, start by focusing on onboarding one, and then go from there.
