The realm of decentralized apps (dapps) has witnessed a fresh wave of innovation. Leading this charge is Smol, which has recently unveiled MultiSafe – a dapp that promises users the luxury of a single address for their crypto holdings across multiple blockchains.
Building upon the foundational work of Safe (formerly Gnosis Safe) and its flagship product, Safe Wallet, Smol recognized a persistent challenge in the Web3 space: the complication arising from juggling multiple addresses on different chains and layer-2s. Safe Wallet, renowned for its multisig (multiple signers) functionality, paved the way for Smol's new development.
The primary catalyst behind MultiSafe was to declutter the experience of managing assets on various chains. As draper, a core contributor to Smol, puts it, "Our ambition with MultiSafe was simplicity. We wanted users to deploy a Safe on widely-used chains while maintaining the same address, whether setting up a fresh Safe or cloning an existing one."
Announced on Aug. 11, MultiSafe embodies Smol's dedication to developing user-friendly dapps that address the unique challenges of the crypto universe.
In essence, MultiSafe is a dapp that facilitates the rapid deployment of a new Safe across multiple chains, ensuring address consistency. As draper clarifies, users with an existing Safe can effortlessly "clone" it onto other chains, preserving the original address.
The seamless functionality of MultiSafe can be attributed to its utilization of Safe's factory system. This system enables the deployment of Safe-associated contracts to any blockchain. The strategy capitalizes on Safe's deterministic logic, ensuring users receive a consistent address for their Safe accounts on different chains.
Smol's journey in the dapp ecosystem has been nothing short of impressive. With seven distinct dapps to their name and engaging discussions with other teams for potential collaborations, the future looks promising. Draper expresses enthusiasm, revealing, "The traction we're gaining is evident. Numerous projects and protocols are showcasing interest in our integrative solutions."
As the blockchain and crypto domains continue to evolve, innovations like MultiSafe underscore the importance of user-centric design in navigating the complexities of a decentralized world.
