Episode 37|Force Web3 Weekly Investment and Financing Events July7–14, 2022.
Gnosis Safe, which secured $100 million in funding this week, has been described as the most trusted digital asset management platform for Ethereum. With different solutions for teams and individuals, Gnosis Safe supports ETH, ERC20 (tokens) and ERC721 (collectibles).
For teams, if they need to completely customize how the company’s crypto assets are managed, there is an option to require a predefined number of signatures to confirm transactions. Multiple team members are required to confirm each transaction to execute, which helps prevent unauthorized access to the company’s cryptocurrency.
For individuals, if they want to completely customize how you manage their personal crypto assets, they can choose to require multiple devices to confirm transactions (hardware wallets, EOA-based wallets, paper wallets, or a combination of these). Transactions can be signed using different wallets, including mobile wallets, browser extensions, and hardware wallets. In addition to this, Gnosis Safe brings multi-signature security to DeFi, allowing users to invest, borrow and lend directly from Gnosis Safe. This is an advantage that hardware wallets or centralized exchanges cannot match. However, its development center is too dependent on the Ethereum ecosystem, which is also risky. In the cryptocurrency market, countless projects have become rivals of Ethereum, and the ultimate winner is still unknown.
