Participant selection

SafeDAO approves the Safenet Sentinel and Validator sets. SafeDAO approved the launch participant set in SEP 56. The tables below show the current set.

​

Sentinel selection

SafeDAO approves which Sentinel operators are part of the active Sentinel set. The active Sentinel set is configured in the Safenet Oracle on Gnosis Chain. See Sentinels for the Sentinel role and participation requirements.

​

Validator selection

SafeDAO approves which Validators are part of the canonical Validator set. The Validator set is recorded in the staking contract on Ethereum Mainnet. After a Validator-set change is approved and executed onchain, Validators must also adopt the updated set in their local configuration. Safenet uses a two-week transition period for operational adoption, enforced through Validator rewards. See Validators for the Validator role and Rewards for participation requirements.

​

Adding or removing participants

Adding, replacing, or removing a Sentinel or Validator requires a SafeDAO proposal and approval. The named participant list, including applicable conflict disclosures, is published before the SafeDAO vote. Approval does not replace the technical onboarding required to operate as a Sentinel or Validator. See Governance for where each set technically lives and how changes are executed.

​

Sentinels The current Sentinel set includes four Sentinels. Validators The current Validator set includes four Validators from Safenet Beta. The Sentinel set is recorded in the SentinelOracle on Gnosis Chain, and the Validator set in the Staking contract on Ethereum Mainnet. See Contracts and audits for contract addresses.
