The world's leading multisig now comes with built-in threat detection and policy enforcement, delivering institutional-grade protection for more than $65B in assets
The world’s leading multisig just got safer. Safe and Hypernative announced a strategic partnership that embeds Hypernative real-time threat detection and policy enforcement engine directly into Safe’s multisig experience, enabling teams to automatically detect, explain, and prevent malicious or non-compliant transactions before they execute onchain.
The collaboration, announced at Devconnect Buenos Aires, marks the industry’s first natively-integrated transaction security layer, combining Safe’s battle tested multisig infrastructure with Hypernative Guardian, the company’s pre-transaction simulation and policy-enforcement engine that delivers real-time, AI-driven risk detection and automated protection for every transaction.
The partnership arrives at a critical moment for Web3. As digital assets move from early adopters to mainstream institutions, the ecosystem faces mounting losses from exploits, phishing, and operational errors with more than $9.3B last year alone. With billions now flowing through programmable smart accounts, organizations are demanding stronger, more automated safeguards that match the pace and complexity of modern digital-asset operations. The Safe-Hypernative collaboration answers that call, evolving multisig security from shared access control to continuous, intelligent protection built directly into transaction execution.
Embedding Hypernative directly into Safe marks the next era of onchain asset protection. For years, Safe has set the standard for transparent, secure digital ownership. Now, with Guardian built into every transaction flow, we’re elevating that standard, giving every organization the ability to operate with institutional security by default.

Hypernative Guardian is now accessible directly within the Safe interface, giving treasury, compliance, and security teams deep visibility into every transaction before signing. The integration delivers four core capabilities:
Real-time risk assessment screens every transaction in your Safe queue against over 300 risk types, including contract exploits, phishing, fraud, and compliance violations, before any signer approves it.
Automatic simulation and risk explanation shows exactly what will happen when a transaction executes. No more blind signing of complex DeFi interactions. Guardian breaks down the intent, outcome, and risks in plain language.
Custom enforcement policies let teams encode their complete risk framework into automated rules. Treasury teams can restrict deposits to whitelisted protocols and cap swap slippage. Asset managers can screen for sanctioned addresses and pool toxicity thresholds. Protocol teams can require manual approval for contract upgrades.
Interactive approval flow surfaces all risk assessments directly in Safe's interface, powered by Hypernative's AI-based detection engines. When Guardian flags a transaction, signers see clear explanations and can make informed decisions without leaving Safe.
This isn't security bolted onto Safe. It's security embedded into every transaction flow.
Safe redefined how organizations coordinate onchain. Together, we’re redefining how they protect their assets. With Guardian built into Safe workflow, teams no longer have to choose between speed, usability, and security.
Gal Sagie, Co-Founder and CEO @ Hypernative
The integration serves the specific needs of organizations managing serious digital asset operations:
DAO and protocol treasuries managing community funds get automated threat detection with custom policies that balance protection and governance velocity. Define your spending limits, whitelisted protocols, and counterparty restrictions once. Guardian enforces them automatically.
Asset managers and institutional funds securing client capital across complex DeFi strategies get compliance-ready audit trails, real-time risk visibility, and the enterprise-grade security that institutional LPs demand. Every transaction includes documentation of the risks assessed and policies applied.
Exchanges and market makers protecting large asset vaults get predictive threat detection that often identifies exploits minutes before the first malicious transaction. Cross-chain coverage spans 70+ blockchain networks with 99.8% detection accuracy and just 0.001% false positives.
Organizations like Ethena have been using both Guardian and Safe to protect their operations, but as separate systems. With this integration, teams that previously had to manage security alongside their multisig workflow now get both in a unified experience without sacrificing Safe's non-custodial benefits or requiring teams to learn new tools.
We integrated Guardian to protect billions in transactions across our $10B ecosystem. Having that same protection now embedded directly in Safe means teams don't have to choose between security and operational velocity. This is what institutional-grade Web3 infrastructure looks like: security native to the workflow, not bolted onto it.
