Pay in Gnosis using Bando

The simple way to use crypto for real-life payments

Start integrating

Gnosis Chain is a secure, EVM-compatible Layer 1 blockchain built for real-world usability, low fees, and decentralization.

Originally developed by GnosisDAO, it offers one of the most affordable environments for onchain activity, with gas fees often well below one cent. As a fully Ethereum-compatible chain, Gnosis supports stablecoins like USDC and xDAI and integrates easily with popular wallets and dApps. Paired with Bando’s crypto payment protocol, Gnosis becomes a powerful network for spending crypto directly from the wallet, no bridges, no off-ramps, no fiat conversions.

Common challenges of Gnosis digital payments

Limited merchant acceptance

Gnosis is built for fast, affordable crypto transactions, but most merchants still don’t accept it directly. This limits its real-world utility for everyday expenses like groceries, transportation, or streaming services.

High costs via traditional Off-Ramps

Gnosis’s blockchain offers near-zero transaction fees, but when users must convert crypto to fiat via centralized exchanges, they face high off-ramp fees, poor conversion rates, and added steps. This reduces the value of each transaction and discourages regular use.

Complex and frictional payment flows

Without native Gnosis payment integrations, spending crypto involves unnecessary friction: token swaps, bridging, and third-party tools. What should be a one-click crypto payment with Gnosis becomes a complicated workflow, creating poor UX and slowing mainstream adoption.

Reduced adoption

Even user-friendly blockchains like Gnosis hit adoption barriers when users can't pay for everyday products and services. If people can’t easily spend crypto on rides, bills, or mobile data, they’ll stop using or holding it, slowing down ecosystem growth.

Increased costs

Gnosis on-chain fees are near-zero, but the real friction is spend. Token swaps, bridges, and fiat off-ramps all add layers of fees and complexity. The result? Users lose value, and merchants lose interest in accepting crypto.

Frustrating user experience

Let’s be real: no one wants a 10-step process to buy mobile data. Complex payment flows kill utility and discourage everyday use. Without simple real-world Gnosis payments, the experience feels broken.
