Announcing the Gnosis Safe Multisig Launch
The successor to the original Gnosis multi-signature wallet is now available for public use.
First deployed in early 2017, we’re proud that the Gnosis multi-signature wallet became foundational infrastructure for storing funds on Ethereum. Even today, the original Gnosis multi-sig stores more than 1 billion USD equivalent in crypto assets.
Times, however, have changed since 2017. We’ve seen the rise of #DeFi, decentralized finance, and a suite of sovereign economic applications on Ethereum. Secure tools for fund storage, device management, and app interaction are critical to DeFi’s success, which is why today we’re extraordinarily happy to announce the public launch of the Gnosis Safe Multisig — the successor to the original Gnosis multi-sig—as a core component of web 3.0.
New Features
You can set up the Gnosis Safe Multisig in less than 60 seconds, and you can use wallets including Fortmatic, Portis, Torus, and browser wallets like Metamask as signing keys, so that you can manage your crypto collectively and inter-operably.
We believe it offers users the best experience with increased modularity, flexibility, and security, including audited and formally verified smart contracts. After battle-testing it for 6 months internally and externally with over 200 Early Access users, the Gnosis Safe Multisig has all the features of your favorite wallet and more, including:
- Incoming Tx
- Fiat balances
- In-app support chat
- Onboarding tour
- Improved transaction list
- UX improvements
And we have a lot more features planned for you coming up, like:
- Address book
- Transaction comments
- Mobile version
- …and many more!
Best-in-Class Security and UX
As mentioned above, the Gnosis Safe Multisig boasts of audited and formally verified smart contracts to give you peace of mind while managing your funds.
As the Pepo team shared on why they’re building on the Gnosis Safe smart contracts, “Whenever there is a component that already exists outside of our organization that is best-in-class like the Gnosis Safe, we evaluate it and adopt it when there’s a great fit.”
Putting our money where our code is.
As proof of our confidence in the Gnosis Safe, we at Gnosis have moved an additional 10,000 ETH to the Gnosis Safe contracts and will move an additional 10,000 ETH every month until all of our company’s crypto funds are stored there.
Whether you’re looking to try out fund management with your team or prototype a DAO, rest safe and sound when using the Gnosis Safe Multisig.
