Open Grant Proposal:
Safe (ex-Gnosis Safe Multisig) deployment to Filecoin networkProject Name: Safe (ex-Gnosis Safe) Proposal Category:
IntegrationsIndividual or Entity Name: Protofire DAO Proposer:protofivan(Optional) Filecoin ecosystem affiliations:Do you agree to open source all work you do on behalf of this RFP under the MIT/Apache-2 dual-license?: "Yes"
Project Summary
We propose a turnkey deployment of Safe (formerly Gnosis Safe) to Filecoin. As a result, we will publish and manage a web version of Filecoin Safe at a designated domain/sub-domain associated with Filecoin, supporting both mainnet and testnet networks. In addition to the deployment, we offer a one-year support and maintenance service, extendable upon request. This service includes regular updates, incident resolution, and the introduction of new features such as Safe Apps, Modules and New Wallets Support. The entire codebase will be published in the Filecoin repository, making it accessible to the public.
What is Safe. Safe (https://safe.global/) stands out as the most secure multisig wallet currently available for EVM-compatible blockchains, even earning the trust of notable figures like Vitalik Buterin, who uses it for personal funds across several networks. It is a smart contract wallet that requires a minimum number of signatures to approve a transaction before it can occur. This added layer of security helps to protect against the loss or theft of funds, attract institutional investors and subsequently increase network’s TVL. Due to modular system, Safe functionality can be significantly extended, in accordance with business needs, what makes this solution not just a wallet, but complete financial platform for DAOs, blockchain companies, institutional investors and cautious individuals, managing $Millions of funds.
Impact
We believe that deploying Safe will bring the following benefits to the Filecoin ecosystem: 1) It will make it possible for some significant protocols and dApps to join the Filecoin ecosystem, as they rely on Safe contracts as a part of their infrastructure. 2) Filecoin Safe will enable institutional investors, organizations, and DAOs to manage their funds in a more secure and intelligent manner, ensuring a definite growth in the total number of valuable ecosystem participants. With an increased number of accounts securely holding $1M and more, the entire Filecoin ecosystem will progress towards economic maturity and enterprise readiness. 3) Safe offers fantastic flexibility in terms of functionality for users across all ranges, from individual developers to network governance. It includes Account Abstraction features (social recovery, fee payment relaying, etc.), DAO Tooling (Zodiac), tx building and batching. The mere presence of Safe will enhance the quality of UX, with an indisputable improvement in safety for all participants, especially for Web2 newcomers. That will significantly propel Filecoin ecosystem growth.
Outcomes
Safe utilization by the Filecoin community, DAOs, and protocols is our main success criteria. Such indicators as total TVL, number of active accounts (safes), and average amounts per safe are our main metrics.
Adoption, Reach, and Growth Strategies
Safe is a well-known, intuitive, and standard de-facto multisig solution across EVM networks. To achieve mass adoption and high utilization, we are focusing on raising awareness of the possibility of using Safe on the Filecoin network. Our plan is to help organizations (DAOs, Protocols, dApps) unlock the full potential of Filecoin Safe and support its integration into their daily business operations. For individuals, our focus is enhancing their security by recommending the use of various wallets/devices for transaction signing.
To accomplish these objectives, we intend to initiate a marketing campaign in collaboration with the Filecoin team and deliver ongoing community support.
Development Roadmap
Since the whole deployment is quite straightforward and relatively short process, we don’t have milestones, but stages. Considering that Safe contracts are already deployed, the scope of work is reduced and consists of three parts:
1) Spin Up Infrastructure & Networks Configuration:
Amount of funding: ~10% from the grant amount
2) Safe components deployment on the infrastructure and its configuration:
Amount of funding: ~30% from the total grant amount.
3) Ongoing support and maintenance service, consisting of:
We assume that the infrastructure (AWS account for hosting Safe solution and network RPC endpoints) will be provided by the Filecoin team, so infrastructural costs are not included
Amount of funding: ~60% from the total grant amount.
Total Budget Requested (Updated)
$69k (reduced from $85k)
