Abstract: Mimir - Module friendly multisig tool
Product: https://safe.mimir.global/
Docs: https://evm-docs.mimir.global/
Inspired by the article Building the Dream Wallet with Safe, we noticed that while there are a variety of modules available, their usage, installation, and configuration remain inconvenient. Many modules are isolated in separate applications, and those closely integrated with the wallet’s core features, like Spend Limit and Recoverer configurations in Safe, tend to attract the most users.
To address these challenges, Mimir aims to provide a module-friendly multisig wallet where users can easily install and configure a range of practical modules through a Module Market. On a centralized rules page, users can view all available or configured modules, enabling them to equip a Smart Account with a full suite of interactive functions such as quick payments, account recovery, passkey login, and multi-chain interactions.
After configuration, these modules will be seamlessly integrated across various Mimir system functions within the wallet, offering users streamlined and efficient experiences.
Aligned strategy: Which pre-approved strategy is this initiative driving forward?
Strategy 2: Foster module ecosystem
This proposal seeks to create a more convenient and user-friendly platform for module interaction. Users will be able to browse, install, and directly utilize modules within the Mimir platform, eliminating the need to switch to other platforms to access these functionalities.
By centralizing module use, this approach can significantly boost module adoption, enabling more users to discover their capabilities and ease of use.
Funding request: What resources are being requested from SafeDAO in USDC?
$10K
If applicable, upfront funding: Indicate if upfront funding is needed. Refer to 'Payout’ under Get funding from SafeDAO for lump sum payment options.
Not applicable.
Relation to budget: State the requested funding as a percentage of the total initiative budget and remaining budget (e.g. if you ask for 50k from Strategy 1 with remaining budget of 100K - Total Budget: 25%, Remaining Budget: 50%)
Total Budget: 66%
Metrics and KPIs: Which metrics and KPIs will the initiative be measured against?
- Complete the development of the corresponding product and ensure stable service operation.
- Integrate four modules into the Module Market and modify the system-level functions to support these modules.
- Increase the adoption rate of the four integrated modules, aiming for a 50% adoption rate within Mimir (accounts with modules enabled/total accounts).
Initiative description: What is the initiative about?
We believe that the integration of Smart Accounts with modules is the future of the Web3 ecosystem. As Vitalik has mentioned, in the next decade of blockchain development, every user should have their own smart contract account.
We are thrilled to see Safe’s support for the 4337 module in version 1.4.1, enhancing the flexibility of Safe accounts and making them even more attractive to Web2 users.
Our product focuses on simplifying the configuration and usage of modules, helping more users discover their power and ease of use. We have developed a comprehensive wallet solution that makes modules more user-friendly and accessible through the following features:
-
Module Market: A platform where users can explore, install, configure, modify, and remove various modules, making the process as straightforward as picking an extension from the Chrome Store.
-
Account Rules Map: A visual dashboard that showcases the capabilities of a fully configured Smart Account, guiding users toward more secure and efficient account setups.
Once these features are in place, smart contract accounts will offer the same high level of usability as MPC accounts. Users will be able to configure flexible security rules and have greater control over their accounts.
Current status: Does the offering (product/service) already exist or is the funding used to create it?
Currently, Mimir has completed the development of the multisig core functionality and user interface, and has launched on several L1 and L2 networks. We have also developed a basic Rules page for the Recoverer and Spend Limit functionalities.
Tasks to be completed in this proposal include:
-
Development of the Module Market
-
Creation of the Account Rules Map
-
Integration of two additional modules; we are currently leaning towards modules related to 4337 or Keystore.
Risks: What risks does the initiative entail?
- Challenges related to the usability of some desired modules.
- Market volatility and insufficient user education can lead to overall low adoption rates.
- While Mimir is deployed across multiple chains, some chains may lack a rich selection of module resources.
Timeline and milestones: Provide a detailed timeline or roadmap, include key milestones
Sept - Oct: Module research and data base preparation
Oct - Nov: Module Market & Rules Map development
Nov - Dev: 2 Modules integration
