Safe FAQ
Yes. Safe is a smart wallet with multisig capabilities built in that make it robust and secure. A user can still choose not to use multiple signer and just use one.
The Safe smart account is much larger than the Safe (wallet) interface. It is the core infrastructure used to embed smart accounts into any product. Worldcoin most notably uses it to deploy all their user wallets on the world app.
There are many reasons but the biggest one is security. Multiple signers to authenticate an account gives users the security like an onchain multi-factor authentication.
Aside from this, many advantages like transaction batching, gas efficiency and using several Safe (Apps) can be enjoyed by users.
Dive deeper into Safe
Safe (previously Gnosis Safe) is the ownership layer of web3 securing >$100B+. It includes Safe (Core), a full stack of account abstraction infrastructure, and the industry-standard multi-sig, Safe (Wallet). The project is focused on making every Ethereum account a smart account and enabling new use cases like AI, Staking, Gaming, SocialFi, DeFi, and Payments to flourish with gasless transactions, easy face-ID like logins, onramps, recovery, and more. Safe has a large ecosystem of 200+ projects, including Gnosis Pay and Worldcoin, deployed in over 15 networks, building on the Safe smart account standard. Safe (Wallet) is also widely used by individuals like Vitalik Buterin, Punk6529, and web2 giants like Shopify and Reddit for self-custody of assets and high-value NFTs.
How Does Safe Work
Safe is the smart account standard used for multi-sig security and used by the whole industry for protocol operations and treasury management, mostly to add an extra layer of onchain MFA. The Safe smart account contracts are part of Safe (Core), which is an account abstraction infrastructure to build apps using this same battle-tested account standard. This comes with a full SDK and API services so developers can easily integrate Safe into their apps.
As of April 2023, over 8M Safe accounts have been created, making >40 million transactions. The open-source contracts are battle-tested and have been formally verified and audited multiple times. There have been no critical security incidents since Safe was deployed in 2018, and Safe is known for its security in the industry.
