# About

## Onchain
- The last cosigner confirms the transaction (txn) that executes on-chain.
- The on-chain txn pays the network fee and is recorded in the cosigner's address history.
- If the cosigner does not have enough funds for the txn fee the txn can fail with txn fees lost.

## Limits and queue
- There are no time limits to sign txns.
- [Transaction queue](https://help.safe.global/en/articles/4987205-transaction-queue)
- No other txn can be executed until the current txn is executed, canceled, or replaced.
- First in first out (FIFO)

## Security features
- Transaction simulation
- [How Safe Integrates TX Simulations to Bring Multisig Users Security and Peace of Mind](https://blog.tenderly.co/case-studies/safe/) *by tenderly*
- DeFirewall by Redefine
- Identifies the risks of using the contract(s) involved in making a transaction(s)
- Displays the proposed asset balance changes
- E.g. Is the contract on a known block list, is there little to no contract activity, etc.
- *See [Redefine security with new Safe{Wallet} transaction risk scanner](https://safe.mirror.xyz/rInLWZwD_sf7enjoFerj6FIzCYmVMGrrV8Nhg4THdwI) by Safe*

# Steps
1. Create the transaction (Txn): Safe > Submit *New Transaction*
- a. If verifying a txn: Follow the [off and on-chain steps](https://hackmd.io/@safe/oi/https%3A%2F%2Fhackmd.io%2F%40safe%2Fverify-transactions#Verify-Off-chain-transaction-with-the-safeTxHash) to check that the data matches
- b. Approve the txn on the account
- c. Partially approved txns show in *Transactions* > *Queue*
2. Complete the txn with the required threshold of approvers: Safe > *Transactions*
- a. *Confirm*
- b. *Cancel*
- [Why do I need to pay for canceling a transaction?](https://help.safe.global/en/articles/4738501-why-do-i-need-to-pay-for-cancelling-a-transaction)
- c. Ask other approvers to approve if needed
- Simple instructions to share with someone
1. Open Safe: [app.safe.global](https://app.safe.global/welcome)
2. Connect your account, E.g. MetaMask, Ledger device, etc. > Select the account in Safe E.g."...1234" > "Transactions" > Select "Confirm"
3. "Would you like to execute the transaction immediately?": "No, later" > Approve in MetaMask (You pay 0 gas)
- d. [Speed up an approved and pending transaction.](https://hackmd.io/@safe/og/https%3A%2F%2Fhackmd.io%2F%40safe%2Fopportunities#Transaction-management-P2)
3. Check the account's [token approval amounts](https://docs.google.com/document/u/0/d/1uPMUppk7BZ5ZLmLx0ht0RPrneDTyiXKAfr2kV9YK_C4/edit) to make sure they're as expected

# Features

## Advanced options
- Go to Safe > *Transactions > Queue > Confirm> Advanced options > Edit*
- *Owner Transaction (Execution) > Nonce*: Use the same nonce on the signer's address as originally used if overwriting or canceling a pending transaction.
- *Gas limit*: Auto-generated, do not adjust.
- *Gas price (GWEI)*: Auto-generated, can use [Ethereum Gas Tracker](https://etherscan.io/gastracker#historicaldata) to verify.

## Bundle multiple transactions
- *See [Transaction Builder](https://help.safe.global/en/articles/40841-transaction-builder)*
- Approve multiple transactions with one set of signatures.
- Convert to [Uint256 format](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1pfGXa-DCOBQ6Ed7w1Q_XNaTtiUwuWRQSLgJ6vZ4v85I/edit#heading=h.ohamhurjxbk)

## Sell multiple assets
- [dump.services](https://dump.services)
- Built by CoW Swap and Yearn.
- Features
- Sell multiple assets in an account at a selected quantity
- Choose which account to receive the sale proceeds
- *See [@CoWSwap Tweet 2023-05-03](https://twitter.com/CoWSwap/status/1653761691442872330)*
- Research: Is it possible to execute CoW Swap trades with the Safe Transaction Builder using [CoW Swap's settlement](https://etherscan.io/address/0x9008D19f58AAbD9eD0D60971565AA8510560ab41#events) contract?
- The settlement contract has a `swap` method
- This could be hard to do with the Transaction Builder since you'd likely need to input a static gas price and token prices, rather than taking the real time gas price and token market prices.

# Troubleshoot
- If using a Ledger: [Enable smart contract data](https://hackmd.io/fNvoR6H4RjCygPVIn7-Fzw#2-Add-ETH-addresses-as-signers)
- Ensure the cosigner has enough funds to execute the on-chain txn.
- Txn not showing in Safe
- Check Etherscan in a few minutes.
- If showing in Etherscan and not in Safe
- Restart Safe and cosigner wallet.
- Check the Safe UI in a few minutes.
