Import and set up a Smart Contract Wallet (Safe{Wallet})

​

Step 1: Import a Safe{Wallet}

​

If your current email address is associated with a Safe{Wallet} in Cobo Argus

1. Log into Cobo Portal.
2. Click > Smart Contract Wallets > .
3. In the pop-up window, select Safe{Wallet}.

4. Click Import to load all Safe{Wallet} instances with Cobo Safe enabled in Cobo Argus that are associated with your current email address.

5. Select the Safe{Wallet} instance you want to import into Cobo Portal. Then, click Import.

6. You have successfully imported a Safe{Wallet}. You may now proceed to Step 2.

​

If your current email address is not associated with any Safe{Wallet} in Cobo Argus

1. Log into Cobo Portal.
2. Click > Smart Contract Wallets > .
3. In the pop-up window, select Safe{Wallet}.

4. Enter the address of the Safe{Wallet} you want to import into Cobo Portal. Your Safe{Wallet} instances will load automatically.

5. Select the Safe{Wallet} instance you want to import. Then, click Import.
6. You have successfully imported a Safe{Wallet}. You may now proceed to Step 2.

​

Step 2: Set up a Delegate Key

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.

1. In the pop-up window, click Set Up.

2. Click Set Up Delegate Key.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. The new Delegate Key will be displayed on the homepage. You may now proceed to Step 3.

​

Step 3: Create an on-chain transaction policy

1. On the Smart Contract Wallets homepage, navigate to Status and click Setup Required > Create next to your Safe{Wallet}.

2. 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.

3. Click Next.
4. Set up an on-chain transaction policy. For step-to-step guides, refer to Create contract call policy.
5. (If applicable) If you imported an instance directly from Safe{Wallet} instead of Cobo Argus, you will be prompted to manually enable Cobo Safe, a smart contract framework that offers delegation and parameter-level access controls. Click Confirm to enable Cobo Safe and submit your policy in a single transaction.

6. Complete the MFA verification.
7. A multi-sig confirmation from Safe{Wallet} signers is required. Please notify the signers to complete the transaction on Safe{Wallet}.
8. Once the multi-sig confirmation is complete, return to the Smart Contract Wallets homepage. The status of your Safe{Wallet} will now be automatically updated to Ready for use.

​

What is a Delegate?

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.
