Roadmap

Safenet’s development from Beta toward a more open, resilient, and sustainable transaction-security network. Future milestones are directional. Timing and implementation may change.

​

Q2 2026 - Safenet Beta and SAFE staking

Safenet Beta established the network’s core architecture:

• Launched following SafeDAO approval.
• Established the initial Validator set and consensus and attestation infrastructure.
• Introduced SAFE staking and open delegation.
• Completed the staking-provider RFP, selecting operators to support independent staking interfaces and integrations, improving resilience and access.

This phase established the foundation for Validator coordination, SAFE staking, and decentralized transaction attestations.

​

Q4 2026 - Safenet Aegis and Safe Wallet integration

The production release expands transaction security and introduces onchain enforcement. Protocol

• Introduce Sentinels that check transactions against the Safenet Charter.
• Expand transaction-security coverage beyond the Beta checks.
• Add onchain enforcement through the Safenet Guard.
• Introduce transaction-check fees for Sentinels and continue SAFE-denominated rewards for Validators and Delegators.
• Keep SAFE staking and open delegation as part of the Validator participation model.
• Keep key protocol parameters and participant sets under SafeDAO governance.
• Improve network resilience by separating transaction checking, attestation, enforcement, and governance roles.

Wallet integration

• Integrate Safenet checks into Safe Wallet and surface results during transaction review.
• Add Guard enforcement as a subsequent Safe Wallet integration stage.
• Support integration by other wallets built on Safe smart accounts.
• Expand real-world usage of Safenet checks and transaction fees.

Protocol launch, Wallet rollout, and reward accrual are separate milestones. This phase develops Safenet into a more permissionless and resilient security network with clearer economic incentives, decentralized governance, and real-world wallet usage. Safenet is permissionless and is not limited to Safe Wallet. Compatible wallet providers can integrate Safenet independently. See Wallet integration for details.

​

Q1 2027 - Validate and strengthen network operations

• Ensure arbitration and other network processes scale as usage increases.
• Validate the scope and completeness of the Safenet Charter against operational experience, and update it where needed through the applicable governance process.
• Revisit Sentinel bond slashing after the 2026 dry run, as set out in SEP 56.

​

2027+ - Scale, broader participation, and security coverage

• Integrate additional wallets and compatible smart-account infrastructure.
• Support additional networks.
• Evolve transaction fees beyond the initial flat-fee model.
• Strengthen economic accountability for Sentinels and Validators.
• Expand Sentinel and Validator participation.
• Explore specialized Sentinel security services.
• Extend Safenet and its Charter to cover additional transaction-security risks beyond the initial scope.

Exact mechanisms and timing remain subject to further design and SafeDAO governance.
