Is Safe Smart Account safe to connect to an AI agent?
Can trade unattended. Safety 60%
What an AI agent can do
- Live vs paper: live; contracts are deployed on many networks (see Safe's supported-networks list) source
- Order approval: open-source multisig smart account: Safe's AI-agent guide makes the agent one signer with a threshold that needs at least one human approval; an allowance module can give the agent a per-token spending limit that resets on a schedule; guards can check every transaction source
- Markets: EVM chains
- Pricing: open-source contracts (LGPL-3.0); network gas fees apply
Safeguards that exist
- Paper, demo or testnet mode: The agent quickstart runs on the Sepolia testnet (chain ID 11155111) (official docs) source
- Withdrawal permission needed or allowed: Documented setup makes the agent one signer in a 2-of-3 Safe, so it can propose but cannot execute transfers without human approval (official docs) source
- Scoped keys, permission scopes or IP whitelisting: Safe supports adding spending limits, timelocks and whitelists via modules to restrict agents (official docs) source
- Open source or audited: Open source source
