### What is Safe?

Safe is the ownership layer of web3 securing >$100B+. It includes Safe{Core} a full stack of account abstraction infrastructure and the industry-standard multi-sig, Safe{Wallet}. The project is focused on making every Ethereum account, a smart account and enabling new use cases like AI, Staking, Gaming, SocialFi, DeFi, and Payments to flourish with  gasless transaction, easy face-ID like logins, onramps, recovery and more. Safe currently has a large ecosystem of 200+ projects including Gnosis Pay and Worldcoin, deployed in over 15 networks, building on the Safe smart account standard. Safe{Wallet} is also used widely by individuals like Vitalik Buterin, Punk6529 as well as web2 giants like Shopify and Reddit for self-custody of assets and high value NFTs.

As of April 2023, over 8M Safe accounts have been created, making >40 million transactions. The open-source contracts are battle-tested and have been formally verified and audited multiple times. There have been no critical security incidents since Safe was deployed in 2018 and Safe remains the benchmark of security in the industry.

### Why use Safe accounts?

Traditional web3 accounts are controlled by a single private key, often derived from a 24-word secret phrase. As long as a user owns this private key, they control the account. However, these private keys regularly get lost or compromised, resulting in the complete loss of the assets associated with the account.

Safe, on the other hand, uses smart accounts that can be individually configured to suit the custody needs of different user groups:

* Authentications using multiple private keys (multi-sig) or community-control (DAOs) as well as newer authentication methods like social login and passkeys.
* Modules to build automations into the account, assign spend limits and roles/heirarchies.
* Recovery and inheritance mechanisms with Safe{RecoveryHub}
* Improved transaction experience (transaction batching, gas abstraction)
* Transaction checks and hybrid-custody.

### What is $SAFE?

$SAFE is the native ERC-20 governance token that stewards infrastructure components of the Safe ecosystem, including:

* Safe Contracts
* Default Interfaces
* On-chain assets
* Tokenomics

Tokenomics: 

* Governance: SafeDAO is governed using the SAFE token (see SafeDAO Constitution). SAFE token holders can vote within the scope of governance of SafeDAO. To find out more about Safe{DAO} governance, visit the resource hub.
* Safe Activity Program: Locking SAFE can boost/multiply the rewards the participants receive from their activity in the Safe ecosystem.
* Future Utilities: As the Safe ecosystem evolves, the design space of utilities for the SAFE token will naturally expand. SafeDAO can vote on the implementation of token utilities and signal the direction of future explorations. The community is encouraged to be part of the exploration and implementation of future SAFE token utilities.

### How many SAFE tokens are there in circulation?

Safe launched on April 20, 2022 with 1 billion SAFE Tokens minted by the Safe Foundation, an independent, non-profit organisation that contributes to the development of the Safe ecosystem. This is the SAFE token’s fixed max supply.

Further details around the initial circulating supply and tokenomics can be found here: https://safe.global/blog/safe-tokenomics

ZetaChain is a novel L1 that has chain-agnostic interoperability built-in (EVM-compatible, Cosmos/IBC, Bitcoin, Dogecoin, Tron, etc.). Developers currently use ZetaChain’s messaging capabilities to send data and native value (without wrapping assets) between any chains.

ZetaChain will also support native smart contracts, which let developers build omnichain dApps that orchestrate funds across chains from a single contract.

Rocket Pool is a decentralized Ethereum staking pool offering up to 4.33% APR for ETH2 staking. Users can join the Rocket Pool with its decentralized node operator network or run their own nodes with only 16 ETH. In the latter case, they can earn a commission from staking ETH and earn additional RPL rewards from providing RPL collateral, amounting to up to 6.36% APR for ETH and the additional RPL rewards.

Rocket Pool provides liquid staking, meaning users benefit from an increasing exchange rate instead of adding on to their initial staked collateral, which would be a taxable event. Furthermore, Rocket Pool offers smart nodes: a custom node software allowing anyone to run a node on its network. With losses from bad nodes distributed across the network, individual users minimize their risk of facing penalties. This is supported by the pool’s open-source and audited smart contracts, which guarantee fully non-custodial staking and a maximum degree of decentralization.

Jito Network is a major contributor to the Solana ecosystem through its JitoSOL liquid staking pool, and its collection of MEV products.

Users can exchange their SOL for JitoSOL. In return, holders maintain SOL’s liquidity and DeFi opportunities while earning yield from staking. JitoSOL uniquely provides its holders with additional rewards from transaction revenue associated with MEV extraction on Solana.

Maximum extractable value (MEV) describes profit opportunities attributable to the specific order of transaction execution. For example, a large swap on Orca can lower the pool’s price below that of Raydium or Serum. Traders will race to profit from that price difference and this arbitrage is considered MEV.

The Jito Foundation was created to minimize the negative impacts of MEV, equitably distribute the profits and increase transparency. Jito published an open source validator client designed to create a competitive market for MEV extraction. The client enables auctions within each block for the opportunity to capture that block’s MEV. Traders submit bids, and the highest bidders within each block can harvest available MEV.

SKALE, described as a modular blockchain network, is designed to bring scalability to Ethereum. SKALE is the only blockchain network capable of running an unlimited number of fast, on-demand, pooled-security Blockchains with zero gas fees to end users. These individual chains are known as SKALE chains and can be dapp-specific or shared.

The project’s website says it wants to enable people to build and run DApps in a “decentralized modular cloud built for real-world needs and configured for your requirements.” This emphasis on decentralization isn’t at the expense of security.

According to SKALE, those who build on this platform can run Solidity smart contracts “thousands of times faster at a fraction of the mainnet cost” — with games and content streaming services among the projects that already take advantage of its infrastructure.
