Gnosis (GNO) is a cryptocurrency and blockchain project that aims to create a decentralized platform for prediction markets and decentralized applications (DApps).
Prediction markets enable users to speculate on the outcome of various events, such as elections, sports events, and more, while also providing valuable insights into crowd sentiment. Gnosis seeks to harness the wisdom of the crowd and enhance the efficiency of decision-making by allowing users to trade and create prediction markets.Â
Gnosis provides a platform for creating and participating in prediction markets, where users can trade on the outcome of real-world events by buying and selling shares in different outcomes.
Prediction markets are known for aggregating information from a diverse group of participants, potentially leading to more accurate predictions and insights.
Moreover, Gnosis aims to serve as a platform for developers to build DApps that utilize prediction markets for various use cases, such as insurance, finance, and more.
It first launched in 2015, and was founded by Martin Köppelmann and Stefan George.Â
Conditional tokens and GNO
Gnosis introduced a concept called “conditional tokens,” which enable users to create complex prediction market scenarios with multiple conditions and outcomes.
GNO is the native utility token of the Gnosis platform. It is used for governance decisions, participating in the development of the protocol, and determining the parameters of prediction markets.
