Create and set up a Smart Contract Wallet (Safe{Wallet})
Learn how to create and set up a Smart Contract Wallet (Safe) in Cobo Portal for efficient asset management.
Due to the Bybit security incident, Safe Wallet has suspended third-party delegate call services. As a result, Cobo’s Smart Contract Wallets and related services (including on-chain transaction policies) are temporarily unavailable. However, existing wallets and on-chain transaction policies can still be used. Recovery timeline will be announced later.
In the pop-up window, select a network where your Safe{Wallet} will be based.
Enter a name for your Safe{Wallet}.
Select signer addresses. These addresses will be used to sign multi-sig transactions on the Safe{Wallet}.
My Wallets: Select addresses from your MPC Wallets (Organization-Controlled).
Address Book: Select MPC Wallets (Organization-Controlled) or EOA addresses listed in your Address Book.
Other: Manually enter EOA addresses.
Enter a signing threshold. The threshold in a Safe{Wallet} specifies the number of signers required to sign a multi-sig transaction before it can be executed.
Enter an optional label for your Safe{Wallet}. Please note that your Safe{Wallet} address will only be added to the Address Book if you provide a label in this step.
Select an initiator address from your MPC Wallets (Organization-Controlled). This address will be used to cover the network fee when creating your new Safe{Wallet}.
Click Next.
Review your Safe{Wallet} details, including the signer addresses, signing threshold, and initiator address.
Confirm on your Cobo Guard that you initiated this request.
Your Safe{Wallet} is successfully created. You may now proceed to Step 2 to complete the wallet setup.
After you approve the wallet creation request on your Cobo Guard, a Request Confirmed window will appear. Click OK to begin initiating your Safe{Wallet}.
You will be automatically redirected to the Smart Contract Wallets homepage, where you will see the initialization status of your new Safe{Wallet} listed as Under Review.
Click Under Review > View.
You will be redirected to the Transaction History homepage.
Connect the initiator address you selected when creating this Safe{Wallet} and then sign a message. Do note that this initiator address will be used to cover the network fees associated with creating your Safe{Wallet}.
Your Safe{Wallet} will be successfully initiated once the signing process is complete.
Return to the Smart Contract Wallets homepage, where the status of your Safe{Wallet} will now be automatically updated to Setup Required. You may now proceed to Step 3.
The Delegate Key is used to initiate, but not sign, multi-sig transactions on behalf of Safe{Wallet} signers. It is a dedicated address created and assigned by Cobo.
On the Smart Contract Wallets homepage, click Setup Required > Set Up next to your Safe{Wallet}.
Click Set Up Delegate Key.
If you are not the Safe{Wallet} signer:
Click to copy the link shown in the pop-up window. Then, send it to any of your Safe{Wallet} signers to sign.
Alternatively, click Copy All and Close to copy all information, including the Safe{Wallet} address, Delegate Key, and URL.
If you are the Safe{Wallet} signer:
Navigate to the link provided and connect to your wallet associated with this Safe{Wallet}.
In the pop-up window, review the auto-filled fields and enter a label for this Delegate Key. Then, click Sign Message.
Sign a message in your connected wallet.
The new Delegate Key will be displayed on the homepage. You may now proceed to Step 4.
On the Smart Contract Wallets homepage, click Setup Required > Create next to your Safe{Wallet}.
Select the type of on-chain transaction policy you want to create. Note that creating an on-chain transaction policy requires you to select Delegates. Upon successful creation of this on-chain transaction policy, you authorize these Delegates to perform certain tasks (e.g., token transfers, token approvals, contract calls) using a single-signature.
Delegate can either be an address from your MPC Wallets (Organization-Controlled), Custodial Wallets (Web3 Wallets), or an EOA address. It is pre-authorized by Safe{Wallet} signers to perform single-signature operations, such as transferring funds or interacting with dApps. Importantly, the Delegate is responsible for handling gas fees during the execution of single-signature transactions.On Cobo Portal, you can set up Delegates by creating on-chain transaction policies for Smart Contract Wallets. The addresses entered during setup will automatically be designated as Delegates for performing single-signature operations.
