Safenet Beta is the first live deployment of the Safenet protocol. It runs with a permissioned Validator set and focuses on core consensus, transaction attestation, and SAFE token staking.

​
What is live in Beta

  • Validator coordination and threshold signing (FROST)
  • SAFE token staking and open delegation
  • Transaction proposal and attestation flow
  • Static transaction security checks
  • Public explorer for network activity

​
Beta goals

Safenet Beta is designed to validate the protocol’s core assumptions under real-world conditions:
  • Can the Validator network reliably process transaction checks at scale?
  • Can Validator participation be measured and enforced through reward eligibility?
  • Can SAFE staking and delegation bootstrap meaningful economic security?
Beta staking rewards are subsidized for an initial period. Long-term, rewards will be funded by transaction fees paid by users and integrators.

​
Validator set

The Beta Validator set consists of Validators run by independent organizations, selected by the Safe Ecosystem Foundation. All Validators must maintain a minimum self-stake of 3,500,000 SAFE. Validator coordination is handled via contracts on Gnosis Chain. Deployment info:
  • Consensus contract: 0x223624cBF099e5a8f8cD5aF22aFa424a1d1acEE9
  • Coordinator contract: 0xaE27021CEB45316f1efe69D8E362aC07ED3Bd7E4
Safenet Beta uses the following permissioned Validator set: A JSON with validator stats is published at safe-fndn/safebet-beta-data.

​
Transaction checks

In Safenet Beta, Validators attest to a fixed set of static security checks. These checks are fully deterministic: given the same transaction data, every honest Validator reaches the same conclusion. Current checks applied to every proposed Safe transaction:
  • No unexpected delegatecalls
  • Upgrade only to trusted Safe Singletons
  • Only allow adding trusted Safe Modules
  • Only trusted Safe Fallback Handlers can be set
  • Only trusted Safe Guards can be set
Advanced, context-specific checks (transfer volume analysis, allow/deny lists, actively exploited contracts) are planned for later phases. See the Roadmap.

​
Scope and limitations

Safenet Beta is a deliberate starting point:
  • Safe transactions on EVM chains only
  • Permissioned Validator set: Validators are selected by the Safe Ecosystem Foundation
  • Static security checks only: no open Transaction Checker market yet
  • No slashing: stake is not at risk of being slashed in Beta
See the Roadmap for what comes after Beta.

​
Explorer

The Beta Explorer is a public tool for viewing transactions proposed and checked by the Safenet Validator set. See the FAQ for details.
