BNBChain Launches BNB SafeWallet for Enhanced Security
BNBChain has introduced its new multi-signature wallet service, BNB SafeWallet. This wallet is built on the Gnosis Safe protocol and operates on the Binance Smart Chain (BSC) network and opBNB. According to BNBChain, the integration of Gnosis Safe Multisig on BSC marks a significant milestone in bolstering security for the BSC network and beyond.
The Gnosis Safe protocol offers advanced execution logic, access management, and high security through its smart contract wallet. It supports multiple wallets controlled by one or multiple owners to enhance wallet security. BNBChain’s SafeWallet, which utilizes the Gnosis Safe protocol, provides users with a secure storage solution for their digital assets.
To ensure security measures, users can define owner accounts and set a threshold number of confirmations required for transactions. Users must create a Safe to access the BNBChain multi-signature wallet service.
Enhancing Asset Security with Gnosis Safe
Gnosis Safe is a decentralized custody protocol and asset management platform available across various networks, including Ethereum, BNB Smart Chain, Optimism, Arbitrum, zkSync, and Polygon. The Safe Wallet, a web3-friendly tool, streamlines interaction with the defi and web3 ecosystem while improving asset security and enabling shared asset management.
Transaction signatures can vary depending on the wallet setup but typically range from two to three signatures. However, users have the flexibility to choose more signatures if desired.
BNBChain’s History of Security Breaches
The BNBChain network has experienced several hacks and attacks recently. In July 2023, there was a Vyper Copycat Exploit on BSC that resulted in the theft of approximately $73,000 worth of cryptocurrencies through three exploits. Another notable incident occurred in October 2022 when hackers exploited a vulnerability in the BNB network, compromising around $570 million. They were able to create 2 million BNB tokens and transfer funds into their wallets due to a bug in the smart contract. Additionally, in September 2023, the hackers responsible for the $41 million Stake casino hack moved an additional $328,000 million worth of Polygon and BNB tokens.

With the launch of BNB SafeWallet, BNBChain aims to provide enhanced security for users’ digital assets. By leveraging the Gnosis Safe protocol, this multi-signature wallet service offers advanced execution logic and access management. Users can define owner accounts and set confirmation thresholds for transactions, ensuring secure and reliable operations.
