HQ.xyz is now officially part of the Gnosis ecosystem!

When we started HQ in 2022, the idea was born out of frustration and hope.
Frustration that running a crypto-native business still meant spreadsheets, manual processes, and patchwork finops. It was sometimes a badge of honour for Web3 founders to rant about having banking issues. The very builders of DeFi were often forced to use custodial solutions, or even personal banking rails for their businesses. 

We started with the hope that stablecoins and self-custody could offer something better not just for DeFi, but for real operations.

We imagined a world where companies could easily pay vendors, and close the books all without giving up control of their assets. That became HQ.

Over the past two years, that vision has resonated more than we imagined.
‍
Today,leading Web3 teams like Ocean Protocol, Satlayer, and Pixelmon rely on HQ to run their business finances natively in stablecoins. It’s been humbling and energizing for our team to see what these businesses have built using HQ.

Now, we’re entering a new chapter.

Why Gnosis, Why Now? 

Gnosis has officially acquired HQ.xyz. And we couldn’t think of a more aligned partner to scale with.

Gnosis has spent nearly a decade quietly building the foundational infrastructure that powers some of Web3’s most critical tools:

• Safe, for smart contract wallets securing billions
  
  
• CoW Swap, for MEV-protected trading
  
  
• Polymarket, for decentralized prediction markets
  
  

Now, they’re focused on building the Open Internet where money, identity, and ownership can move freely and securely, without gatekeepers. Together with Gnosis Pay, we’ll be building the financial layer to support this future.

We're especially proud that this partnership brings Gnosis officially into Asia, starting from our home base in Singapore, where adoption of stablecoins is accelerating across industries.

What is next for us?

To be clear — this is not an exit.

We’re not stepping away. We’re stepping deeper in.

This is a chance to build faster, go further, and serve more teams who believe in an open financial future.

To our earliest believers, customers, team, investors and partners, thank you.
Your support has been everything.

This isn’t the end of our journey.It’s the beginning of something much bigger.
