What Safe does

Safe (formerly Gnosis Safe) builds smart contract wallet infrastructure for onchain self-custody, multisig treasury management, and organizational transactions. Its core product, Safe{Wallet}, enforces M-of-N threshold signature logic via formally verified, open-source smart contracts deployed across 25+ EVM networks, securing $60B+ in assets across 61.11M accounts (Q1 2026) with $1T+ in cumulative transaction volume processed. The modular architecture supports extensible modules and guards (spending limits, roles, recovery, transaction builder) and integrates real-time risk detection via partnerships with Blockaid, Tenderly, and Hypernative. Layered products include Safe Shield (enterprise security), Safe{RecoveryHub} (social recovery with Sygnum and CoinCover), Safenet (Beta decentralized security network), and Workspace (team operating environment).

Safe's revenue model is hybrid: the core Safe{Wallet} consumer/DAO product is free to use with 0 AUM fees (differentiated against MPC alternatives), while enterprise monetization flows through Safe Labs GmbH (a wholly-owned subsidiary formed June 2025 and led by CEO Rahul Rumalla) via wallet-as-a-service, Safe Shield enterprise contracts, and quote-based pricing. Reported annualized revenue grew fivefold from ~$2M at end of 2024 to over $10M in 2025, targeting $100M ARR and break-even by 2030. Customer segments span DAOs, protocol treasuries, corporates and enterprises, venture funds, Web3 startups, L1/L2 networks (via the Safe Standard List), and power users/individuals — with named institutional users including the Ethereum Foundation ($650M migrated), Morpho, EigenLayer, Worldcoin, Chainlink Labs, Ledger, Bitpanda, and Circle ($2.5B USDC held).

The corporate structure pairs a nonprofit parent (Safe Ecosystem Foundation) with the operating Safe Labs GmbH (Berlin, HRB 270980), reflecting a community-aligned governance model. The company was founded in 2018 within Gnosis, spun off and rebranded to Safe in July 2022 alongside a $100M funding round led by 1kx and Tiger Global. Safe acquired Multis (April 2024) to accelerate treasury management capabilities and in February 2025 undertook a full infrastructure reset following the Bybit supply chain hack — a notable risk event for an infrastructure layer securing billions in institutional capital.

Revenue model

1. Protocol Revenue (Safe Ecosystem Foundation): Protocol-wide annualized revenue grew fivefold from ~$2M at end of 2024 to over $10M in 2025, with no token subsidies or incentive programs; targeting break-even and $100M ARR by 2030. Specific revenue mechanics not publicly disclosed beyond being tied to the broader smart account ecosystem.
2. Enterprise Services via Safe Labs (Wallet-as-a-Service): Safe Labs GmbH (formed 2025) offers wallet-as-a-service (WaaS) and other products to businesses and institutions adopting smart accounts at scale; specific pricing not publicly disclosed.
3. Free-to-Use Consumer/DAO Self-Serve Model: Core Safe{Wallet} product is free to use with 0 AUM fees — explicitly differentiating from MPC wallets that charge subscription + usage costs; revenue is not generated at the user/transaction level for the public self-serve product.

Product overview

Safe offers a platform-plus-modules architecture built around its core product, Safe{Wallet} — the leading smart account (multisig) infrastructure for secure self-custody, onchain treasury management, and organizational transactions, securing $60B+ across 25+ networks with $1T+ total volume processed. The Safe Mobile companion app extends wallet functionality to iOS and Android with multisig signing and hardware wallet support. Layered on top are several modular security and operations products: Safe Shield (enterprise-grade security with Transaction Guards, Clear Transaction Insights, and a Security Hub, powered by Hypernative), Safe{RecoveryHub} (social recovery via Sygnum and CoinCover), Safenet (a Beta decentralized transaction security network), and Workspace (an onchain operating environment for treasury teams with passwordless email login). Underpinning all of this are Developer APIs and SDKs (smart wallet SDK, multisig UI, Recovery modules, Transaction Builder) that allow builders to integrate Safe smart account infrastructure into their applications. The corporate entity Safe Labs GmbH is a wholly-owned subsidiary focused on enterprise-grade products including wallet-as-a-service (WaaS). Safe also maintains the Safe Standard List, a public registry of networks that have standardized on Safe for foundation treasuries and governance.

Direct peers

• Fireblocks: Fireblocks is the leading institutional MPC custody and wallet infrastructure provider. It directly competes with Safe Labs in the enterprise/treasury custody space, though Fireblocks uses MPC rather than onchain multisig. Both target exchanges, protocols, and institutions moving large digital asset volumes.
• BitGo: BitGo is a major institutional digital asset custodian and wallet infrastructure provider with multisig and qualified custody offerings. It competes with Safe for protocol treasury and institutional wallet business, and is regularly used by similar crypto-native customers.
• Anchorage Digital: Anchorage is a federally chartered digital asset bank offering institutional custody and wallet infrastructure. It targets the same institutional and protocol treasury customers as Safe Labs, with an emphasis on regulated qualified custody.
• Ledger Enterprise: Ledger Enterprise extends Ledger's hardware wallet expertise into institutional self-custody. It competes with Safe Labs in the institutional treasury and corporate digital asset management market, and is itself a Safe customer for certain operations.

Broad incumbents

• Coinbase Prime / Coinbase Custody: Coinbase Prime is the institutional arm of Coinbase offering custody, trading, and financing. It overlaps with Safe's enterprise treasury use case as a broad incumbent with deep regulatory standing, though it is custodial rather than self-custodial.

Emerging players

• Turnkey: Turnkey provides developer-friendly embedded wallet infrastructure and key management APIs. It is an emerging player in the same smart account / account abstraction space as Safe, with overlapping developer and institutional buyers.
• Privy: Privy offers embedded wallet and authentication infrastructure for web3 applications, with a focus on consumer-grade onboarding. It overlaps with Safe's developer SDK and smart account roadmap, though it targets a more app-developer audience.
• ZeroDev: ZeroDev is a smart account infrastructure provider building on ERC-4337 with kernel-based modular accounts. It is an emerging competitor in the same smart account and account abstraction category that Safe operates in.
• Biconomy: Biconomy provides smart account and gasless transaction infrastructure. It targets a similar developer and dApp customer base, and competes for the modular smart account standard alongside Safe.
• Pimlico: Pimlico is a leading bundler and account abstraction infrastructure provider working with the ERC-7579 standard. It is a technology partner of Safe and a partial competitor for developer mindshare in the smart account ecosystem.
