Episode notes
On-Chain Payments
- Gnosis Pay allows users to hold funds on-chain in their own safe until the moment of payment.
- This enables permissionless innovation around payments, such as automated refills from interest-bearing stablecoins.
Gnosis Pay Mechanics
- Gnosis Pay uses a stablecoin legally considered e-money, enabling SEPA transfers directly from user safes.
- This system acts as a bridge between traditional and on-chain payment rails, similar to how Skype once bridged landlines and VoIP.
Future of On-Chain Payments
- Köppelmann predicts that in 10 years, most transactions will be on-chain due to increased efficiency and innovation.
- On-chain transactions offer instant, low-cost global transfers and currency exchange, outcompeting traditional systems.
