Its own documentation says Gnosis Pay accounts use a Delay Module and a Roles Module to support card payments while keeping users in control of their accounts.</p><p>The Delay Module is designed to place a short wait before outgoing transactions can execute. In normal use, that gives users time to react before certain transfers are completed.</p><h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="strong-gnosis-moves-to-contain-damage-strong"><strong>Gnosis moves to contain damage</strong></h2><p>“We are doing various measures to contain the damage like asking bridge validators to pause,” Köppelmann said.</p><p>The statement shows that Gnosis is working with outside infrastructure providers while it responds to the exploit.
