Today, we mark an important milestone in the Safe ecosystem’s evolution: Safe Labs GmbH, an entity fully owned by the Safe Ecosystem Foundation, will offer its new instance of Safe{Wallet} hosted on app.safe.global. As previously announced, this change reflects both our commitment to our community and the urgent need to meet the challenges of a rapidly changing crypto landscape.

Two Distinct Roles

• Safe Ecosystem Foundation remains the steward of the protocol, core contracts, governance, community resources and the SAFE Token.

• Safe Labs is the dedicated product company, operating at startup speed, accountable for delivering self-sustaining products and building enterprise-grade security rigour in cypherpunk self-custodial paradigms.

Safe Labs embodies both cypherpunk principles and enterprise standards: building without compromise, balancing privacy, self‑custody, and cryptography ideals with the needs of enterprises: uptime, security, compliance, and processes. In this way, the Safe project reinforces its mission to make self-custody easy and secure.

Safe Labs is working on new integrations that extend Safe{Wallet}’s utility across DeFi, institutional custody, and real-world asset management. The coming months will see more product innovations, from upgraded user experience to further increased security, with new initiatives combining automated threat detection, guardians, clear signing and partner integrations. These developments will make self-custody easier for both individual users and enterprises alike, and will set a new standard for onchain safety. 

‘We value safeguarding the sovereignty of our users and upholding the cypherpunk ethos, but we also recognize the need to build enterprise-grade systems’ says Rahul, CEO of Safe Labs. ‘Too often, these two missions are seen as opposing forces. There’s no existing playbook for reconciling them and so we created our own, which we call Cypherprise. Products inevitably mirror the structure and culture of the teams that build them (Conway’s Law). Safe Labs is intentionally designed to embody both security and usability, enabling us to build self-custody products capable of powering a trillion-dollar onchain economy.’

What This Means for Users

The Safe smart contracts are intact, governance is aligned with the Safe DAO, and your experience as a Safe{Wallet} user will only improve:

• Continuous development of Safe{Wallet}

• Industry-leading security standards

• Seamless migration to the new Safe{Wallet} by Safe Labs

From October 15, 2025 onwards, Safe Labs will offer the Safe{Wallet} Web App available at app.safe.global. Users will simply connect and accept terms & privacy policy with no loss of functionality. For more information on how to migrate, read here. 

This marks the beginning of a new chapter, transforming Safe{Wallet} from a ‘cold-storage multisig’ into a world-class self-custody platform that powers the future of the onchain economy.

Looking Forward

This transition doesn’t mark a handover; it marks acceleration. Safe Labs sits at the heart of the Safe ecosystem, architecting the innovation, products, and user experience that define the future of self-custody that is ready for global adoption.

Together, we are embracing the challenge of building a trillion-dollar onchain economy — with no compromise between security, usability and innovation. 

This is the first of two announcements. Tomorrow, we unveil the first next step towards our mission.
