Selling GNO on exchanges
Selling $100,000 of GNO into each exchange’s resting bids, measured against the mid price:
| Exchange | Lost | Got back | Measured |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kraken GNO/USD | 72.2% | $27,788 | 2026-10-29 |
| Coinbase GNO/USD | the book could not absorb it | 2026-10-29 | |
Exchange figures need an account there (and KYC, a permitted country, the tokens already deposited), are before trading fees, and are never averaged with the on-chain figure. Binance is not included: it refuses requests from the region our servers are in. How this is measured →
Watch this number instead of remembering it. A free account keeps GNO on a list, records where it stood the day you added it, and emails you if selling it on these exchanges gets materially harder — one message, not a series. The measurement itself stays public; the account is for being told when it moves without you looking.
What Gnosis is
Gnosis was founded in 2015 and has grown from a decentralised prediction-market project into a broader ecosystem covering asset management, decentralised trading, and payments. The project describes its mission as expanding financial agency and access through an open, collectively-owned financial system. Under the Gnosis name sit several separate products: Safe, a smart-contract wallet infrastructure; CoW Protocol, a trading protocol; and Gnosis Pay, a crypto-linked card payments service.
The source describes these as distinct but related efforts built around the same underlying mission — moving from prediction markets toward infrastructure for holding assets, executing trades, and making payments. It does not specify how the GNO token itself connects technically to each of these products, only that they form part of the same ecosystem.
GNO was first recorded on 2017-04-18. It is classified across several overlapping categories — decentralised exchange, smart contract platform, Layer 1, DeFi, MEV protection, and ecosystem tokens tied to Gnosis Chain and Arbitrum — which reflects a token used across multiple infrastructure layers rather than one with a single defined function. It is deployed on several networks, including Arbitrum One, Energi, Ethereum, and xDai, so "Gnosis" does not refer to one chain or one contract. The source's figures on assets secured, trades protected, or payments enabled describe the activity of separate products (Safe, CoW Protocol, Gnosis Pay) at a point in time, not a fixed or audited property of the GNO token, and are not reproduced here because they move. Nothing in the source states that GNO accrues protocol revenue or confers a specific claim on these products' earnings; readers should treat governance or utility rights as whatever Gnosis's own documentation specifies, not as implied by the breadth of the ecosystem.
What Gnosis can do
Selling $100,000 through the pools on Ethereum returned 32.4% less than the quoted price. A smaller sale may lose less. The full measurement →
Our own measurement · measured 28 October 2026
GNO earns rewards when it is staked to validate blocks on Gnosis Chain. Holders who do not want to run a validator themselves can use a liquid staking provider.

Gnosis Chain runs the same kind of programs as Ethereum, but GNO does not pay for them. Fees are paid in a second token, xDai, which is kept stable against the dollar. Each app is its own code with its own flaws.

Where GNO lives
On Ethereum, Base and BNB Chain, GoPlus's analysis of each contract is read weekly: whether it has a function to block addresses or pause transfers, and whether an owner holds it. That is GoPlus's reading, not ours. Where a token exists on several chains, one copy's settings say nothing about the original coin.
Always verify a contract address against the project's own site before sending anything. Addresses are shown as published by CoinGecko, not as an endorsement — and identical-looking tokens on other chains are the most common way people lose money here.
