Safe (SAFE)

Tokenomics & Utility

Supply and distribution

SAFE is an ERC-20 token on Ethereum with a fixed total supply of one billion tokens. The foundation identifies its Ethereum contract as 0x5aFE3855358E112B5647B952709E6165e1c1eEEe. Safe accounts may operate on multiple networks, but the foundation identifies Ethereum mainnet as the token’s native network. (safefoundation.org)

The foundation’s token allocation divides the supply among several groups. SafeDAO’s treasury receives 40% and GnosisDAO’s treasury 15%. Core contributors receive 15%, strategic backers 8%, and the Safe Foundation 7%. The remaining portions cover user participation, ecosystem contributors and a joint treasury for cooperation between the two DAOs. Different allocations follow different vesting schedules; the SafeDAO treasury’s schedule extends over eight years. Vesting spreads the release of allocated tokens over time instead of making every allocation available at once. (safefoundation.org)

Governance and staking

SAFE holders can take part in SafeDAO governance or delegate voting power. Governance covers matters such as ecosystem funding and changes to the DAO’s framework. In April 2026, SAFE gained a second live role when Safenet Beta began allowing holders to stake tokens with validators. Validators check proposed transactions against defined rules and produce attestations—cryptographic confirmations of their findings. Safenet uses those attestations with a guard on participating Safe accounts. The beta began with a limited set of founding validators and opt-in account checks. (safefoundation.org)

SAFE’s uses therefore center on collective decisions and participation in this security network. The normal transaction costs of a Safe account depend on the blockchain and the method used to submit a transaction, rather than serving as a general SAFE-token payment requirement. (docs.safe.global)
