Marcos Nunes

Marcos Nunes is the Co-founder and CEO of Gnosis Pay, a decentralized payment network that aims to bridge the gap between traditional finance and the Web3 economy. Gnosis Pay is developing the "Gnosis Card", which is described as the "world's first officially Visa-certified self-custodied consumer debit card" that is directly connected to the Gnosis Pay network. The goal of Gnosis Pay is to provide a flexible back-end infrastructure that allows consumers to seamlessly transact using both traditional and digital payment methods, without the need for a financial institution. Nunes emphasizes the importance of providing payment optionality and access through a decentralized system, rather than forcing undesirable options on consumers. He believes this will help onboard the "next millions of uninitiated users" into the Web3 economy. Gnosis Pay is built on the Gnosis Chain, which Nunes claims is the second most decentralized network after Ethereum, with over 125,000 validators across 79 countries. This provides a secure and scalable infrastructure for the payment network. Nunes sees Gnosis Pay as a way to bridge the gap between on-chain and off-chain user experiences, allowing self-custodial wallet users to seamlessly spend their digital assets in the traditional economy.
