ZUG, Switzerland, 29 July 2026: Safe Ecosystem Foundation has released its Q2 2026 Quarterly Report.

Monthly active accounts reached 2.73 million in June, while Safenet Beta closed its launch quarter with 54.8 million SAFE staked across 539 stakers.

As of 29 July 2026, Safenet Beta had checked more than 500,000 Safe transactions. The network began with six initial validators: Greenfield, Safe Labs, RockawayX, Blockchain Capital, Gnosis and Core Contributors. During beta, Safenet applies predefined security policies to Safe activity and records attestations onchain, helping bring transaction security closer to execution while users retain full control of their assets.
April was the busiest month in Safe’s history, with 55.4 million transactions. Monthly active accounts rose throughout the quarter, reaching 2.73 million in June, while total Safe accounts reached 63.4 million.
“Q2 matters because it showed Safe becoming more than a place to hold assets,” said Lukas Schor, Co-Founder of the Safe project and President of the Safe Ecosystem Foundation. “Usage kept compounding through a weaker market, teams continued to coordinate serious capital through Safe, and Safenet moved transaction security closer to execution. That is the shift we are building for: self-custody infrastructure that protects ownership, supports coordination and makes onchain activity safer at the moment value moves.”
The quarter also showed the Safe project’s role as coordination infrastructure for high-stakes onchain response. After the Kelp DAO exploit in April, the Aave-led DeFi United group used Safe smart accounts to coordinate approximately $300 million to help restore rsETH backing, with more than 142,000 wallets participating over three weeks.
The Safe project generated $1.98 million in revenue in Q2, up 42 percent year over year. The quarter also brought more repeatable sources of revenue and new paying customers for Safe Labs products. The Foundation’s Ecosystem Alignment Program signed its third long-term partnership, a five-year token swap with Velvet, after earlier deals with World and JOIN.
