Safe launches Safenet Aegis, first production-ready Safenet release

Safe launched Safenet Aegis on 15 October: the first production-ready and fee-generating release of Safenet, its decentralized security protocol for self-custody, secured by $SAFE. The network is live on Ethereum, Arbitrum, and Gnosis Chain — users submit a transaction to Safenet for a small fee (about 0.40 USDC per check at launch), and Sentinels including @OpenCover and @BlockSecTeam verify it, with every verdict attested onchain and an optional Guard that can prevent immediate execution without a security attestation.

• Safe announced Aegis via its official X account, with SafeLabs amplifying the post; SEP-56's Safe{DAO} approval had previously funded the release.
• Safe co-founder @tschubotz framed it against single-point transaction checkers, which the protocol aims to improve upon.
• Safe also announced changes to the Safenet validator set with the beta-to-Aegis transition: the @RockawayX and @bcap validators are no longer active, so stakers who delegated to them will not receive rewards under the rewards rules and should re-delegate to another validator.
• Aegis is coming (very) soon to Safe{Wallet}, per SafeLabs, and supports SAFE staking rewards for network participants.
