The difference between Gnosis and Augur August 19, 2017 at 11:57PM



We are often asked what the difference is between Gnosis and Augur. First of all, this is an indicator of the excellent marketing our friends at Augur have accomplished. However, it also supports our thesis that Augur is not our competitor.

Gnosis is a platform. Network effects provide users of the platform with value, and ensure stickiness. As more people and projects build on Gnosis, the liquidity in markets will increase. Higher liquidity means greater platform utility for all users.

Miners do not pay for the capacity, all users do, and only miners get paid. This is a fundamental problem with all public goods — the cost is born by all, but the benefits only go to the miners. Users and users alone get to decide the amount of transaction capacity they are willing to accept.
