Safe Foundation launched Safenet Beta at EthCC in Cannes, allowing SAFE token holders to delegate to validators and earn staking rewards. This marks a shift from a governance token to a network security asset, enhancing transaction security through decentralized validation.
- 01SAFE token holders can now earn staking rewards by participating in network security.
- 02Safenet Beta introduces a decentralized transaction security network that uses cryptographic attestations.
- 03Independent validators evaluate transactions against security rules before execution.
- 04The network can tolerate up to one-third of validators acting dishonestly while maintaining security.
- 05The initiative aims to secure all value processed through the Safe protocol, which has handled over $1 trillion in transactions.

On April 2, 2026, at EthCC in Cannes, France, Safe Foundation unveiled Safenet Beta, a significant development for SAFE token holders. This new platform allows them to delegate tokens to genesis validators and earn staking rewards, transforming SAFE from a governance token into a network security asset. Safenet is designed to enhance transaction security by replacing centralized warning systems with a decentralized network that uses cryptographic attestations verified on-chain. When a transaction is proposed, independent validators assess it against predefined security rules, ensuring that only compliant transactions proceed. The network's Byzantine Fault Tolerance allows it to function correctly even if up to one-third of validators act dishonestly. Safenet Beta launches with six genesis validators, each requiring a minimum stake of 3.5 million SAFE tokens. This initiative represents a crucial step towards securing all value processed through the Safe protocol, which has already facilitated over $1 trillion in transactions. As the ecosystem evolves, SAFE holders can participate in staking through the platform, contributing to a more secure transaction environment.
