Safe Research Explores Self-Managed Transaction Cosigners
Safe has published research on self-managed cosigners - independent agents that review transactions before execution. **Key Points:** - Cosigners act as safety nets, checking transactions before they go through - Unlike existing services from Blockaid and Hypernative Labs Guardian, this approach lets users control the verification logic themselves - Enforcement happens onchain through Safe Guards - Users maintain full control over the rules and checks This builds on Safe's earlier Fiducia research, which introduced onchain trust rules for granular control over account interactions.
