The Safe Research team has introduced the Policy Engine, a powerful new guard framework that brings modular, fine-grained control to Safe smart wallets.
What it is
A new on-chain Policy Guard system that lets you define transaction-level rules via standalone “policies.”
Each policy handles specific types of calls (like token transfers, DeFi interactions, or module actions), making it easy to audit, extend, and compose your security setup.
Why it matters
-
Deny-by-default: only explicitly approved actions go through.
-
Modular & transparent: policies are separate smart contracts.
-
Advanced access control: tailor your Safe to your team or DAO’s operational needs.
Example use case
A DAO could use:
-
A transfer policy for daily payments
-
A DeFi policy for whitelisted protocols
-
A fallback policy requiring cosigner review
This brings structured, programmable trust rules to Safe — a major step toward safer, more autonomous treasury operations.
