This article will explain the usage of Safe (formerly known as Gnosis Safe) which has received retroPFG as one of its initial features. @safe #optimismI chose to talk about Safe because it is a dapp that everyone should use, especially on days when there are frequent news about Ledger and hacks. Safe is a dapp that helps us create smart accounts, which are even better than multi-sig.Aave, 1inch, various dapps, and DAOs all use Safe. ✅ The Safe platform has over 1.5 million wallets. ✅ It holds a collective value of over $39 billion. ✅ Additionally, it has raised over $100 million in funding.Start using Safe.Using Safe is simple. For example, you can set it up so that 8 wallet addresses can sign transactions, but at least 5 out of 8 wallets must sign to execute the transaction. By implementing this, if a hacker wants to compromise the transaction, they would need to hack all 5 wallets in order to succeed. This significantly increases the security level. Safe support 12 networks #Ethereum @optimismFND @arbitrum @Binance @CeloOrg @0xPolygon @gnosischain @avax @auroraisnear @BuildOnBaseSafe is also currently expanding its features with account abstraction, which will allow us to create wallets without the need for a seed. With such advancements, the future holds great potential for both existing and new cryptocurrency users.Now, let's talk about how easy it is to use Safe:Go to https://app.safe.global/welcome.Enter the addresses you want to connect with your Safe wallet. You can add as many addresses as you like.Select the number of addresses required to sign transactions.Inside Safe, there are numerous dApps that are integrated with it. For example, you can directly use Uniswap within Safe. If you wish to modify the number of addresses required to sign transactions, you can do so by accessing the settings in the bottom left corner.Great! I hope everyone stays secure while navigating the crypto world. The more assets we possess, the more essential Safe becomes. (Just like having more people helping to store belongings is better than relying on a single person.)Safe also has received approximately 120,000 $OP from retroPGF. The entire fund will be utilized to promote knowledge and encourage people to use Safe. Retroactive Public Goods Funding or RetroPGF is a program that distributes $OP as rewards for projects beneficial to people. (Safe) Note: Safe used to be a criteria for receiving the $OP airdrop as well. Now I think we really should use Safe on every blockchain. lol
