Centralisation is really scary Friederike Ernst, Co-founder of Gnosis

Founded by Stefan George, Martin Köppelmann, and Friederike Ernst, Gnosis, a web 3.0 company has grown from a shared vision into a leading force in building open, community-driven systems. What began as an experiment in decentralised prediction markets evolved into a foundational ecosystem for coordination and governance. A decade on, Gnosis continues to demonstrate how DAO-governed infrastructure can create systems that are more transparent, resilient, and stable than centralised alternatives. By seamlessly integrating governance, payments, and blockchain infrastructure, Gnosis sets the standard for leadership and innovation in decentralised finance.

I recently caught up with Friederike Ernst to find out more about a decentralised web 3.0. Friederike talks about her background, web 3.0, social media, crypto and more.

More about Gnosis:

As the world’s biggest banks and financial institutions have adopted and invested in blockchain, Gnosis’ renewed strategy and brand is driven by the belief that centralised financial institutions building on blockchain isn’t proof that the technology has value – it’s proof that institutions are trying to contain it. Instead, they plan to activate the new brand in a series of marketing campaigns to highlight that true progress in DeFi means that users, not intermediaries, hold the keys and reap the rewards of blockchain’s role in financial solutions.
