Future of Multisigs

on YouTube ↗21m

" summary

Safe traces its roots to Gnosis and evolves into a modular smart-account platform that secures $100B in assets across 7 million accounts with about 1 million monthly active users, ranked just behind the ETH staking contract. Architecture uses modules and guards, supports ERC-4337 as plugin, and targets compatibility with competing standards ERC-6900 and ERC-7579 via adapters. Roadmap shows cross-chain work (keystore rollup concept), a live Signum bank-assisted recovery demo, and upcoming passkey integration and formal verification.
