In an endeavour to enhance security, BNB Chain has unveiled a secure multi-signature wallet service, known as BNB Safe{Wallet}, established on the Gnosis Safe protocol. This service is now accessible on both the Binance Smart Chain (BSC) and opBNB networks.

The Gnosis Safe Multisig Wallet

The BNB Chain has recently launched a multi-signature wallet service, named BNB Safe{Wallet}, which is constructed on the Gnosis Safe protocol. This smart contract wallet is well-regarded for its top-tier security features, robust access control, and intricate execution logic. It stands out due to its capability to allow one or more owners to control multiple wallets, thus adding an extra layer of security.

BNB Chain's Safe multi-signature wallet service offers secure storage of digital assets, featuring user-centric security measures. Users can tailor their security preferences by selecting owner accounts and specifying the minimum number of confirmations required for transactions.

To commence using the BNB Chain multi-signature wallet service, users need to create a Safe. Gnosis Safe is a protocol and platform that facilitates decentralised custody and asset management across various networks, including Ethereum (ETH), zkSync, Arbitrum, BNB Smart Chain, EVM, and Ethereum Mainnet. Its web3-enabled tool, known as Safe Wallet, simplifies interaction with the DeFi and web3 ecosystem, thereby enhancing asset security and encouraging collaborative asset management.

Security Incidents on BNB Chain

Recent years have witnessed several security breaches and attacks on the BNBChain network, raising concerns about the safety of users' assets. Notable incidents include the July 2023 Vyper Copycat Exploit on BSC, where vulnerabilities in the Vyper programming language led to cryptocurrency theft. Additionally, in October 2022, a significant attack on Binance (BNB) saw hackers exploiting weaknesses in the BNB network, resulting in substantial financial losses.

In September 2023, hackers who had previously targeted the Stake casino for $41 million made off with approximately $328,000 million worth of BNB (BNB) and Polygon (MATIC) tokens, further emphasising the need for robust security measures within the ecosystem.

BNB Chain's Objective

According to a blog post by BNB Chain, the introduction of the BNB Safe{Wallet} aims to provide users with a secure and dependable solution for managing their digital assets. This offering is intended to offer peace of mind in an increasingly complex and challenging crypto landscape.
