Introduction

Dr. Friederike Ernst is the co-founder of Gnosis and Gnosis Pay.

In this episode, Dr. Ernst shares how Gnosis Pay is working to bridge the gap between on-chain and off-chain payments, and how the upcoming Gnosis Card will allow users to spend their crypto at over 80 million VISA merchants worldwide.
