We're proud to announce Safe Research - our dedicated R&D team at @safe to push forward the cypherpunk self custody stack. Our mission? Secure, censorship-resistant, and private smart accounts — without compromise. Here’s our manifesto 👇

10 years since Ethereum launched, the industry still relies on single points of failure. 🌋 Offchain trust is everywhere 🚨 Security incidents are routine 👥 Self-custody UX is a nightmare and not yet solved

You cyberpunks already know the pillars: 🛡 Security – protect users from malicious actors and themselves. 📡 Censorship Resistance – reduce centralised UI sugar, innovate onchain 🕵️ Privacy – in a world of AI surveillance, default private is non-negotiable

We're starting at the gateway: smart accounts. Because a user can only benefit from Ethereum’s security, neutrality, and privacy if their wallet also has those properties. Signing, recovery, queuing — needs to be more trustless.

Success for us isn’t measured in papers — it’s in adoption. If our work gets embedded in dApps, wallets, or standards — we’re doing it right. That starts today. We’re excited to share our first output:

📢 ERC: Permissionless Multi-chain Deployment for Contract Factories We propose a standardised way to deterministically deploy permissionless factories across EVM chains. 🧵 →

We believe self-custody should be convenient and accessible. But that requires better primitives, better defaults, and more collaboration with the Ethereum community. That’s why we’re here. And we’re just getting started.
