Operational security is becoming the biggest priority in crypto, here’s how top teams protect their onchain treasuries.

Safe is the gold standard for smart contract wallets, securing over $60billion for organizations like the Ethereum Foundation, Optimism, Polygon, Chainlink, Morpho, and ENS.

In this episode, with Shebin John, Research Engineer at Safe Research, we explore how they’re building the next generation of treasury security, bringing approvals, spending limits, and segregation of duties directly into smart contract wallets.
