Dependencies

Installation

via ape

You can install using the ape built-in plugin manager:

$ ape plugins install safe

via pip

You can install the latest release via pip:

$ pip install ape-safe

via setuptools

You can clone the repository and use setuptools for the most up-to-date version:

$ git clone https://github.com/ApeWorX/ape-safe.git
$ cd ape-safe
$ python3 setup.py install

Quick Usage

To use the plugin, first use the Ape CLI extension to add a safe you want to control:

# ape safe add ADDRESS ALIAS
ape safe add --network ethereum:mainnet my-safe.eth my-safe

If you made a mistake or just need to remove the safe, use the remove command:

# ape safe remove ALIAS
ape safe remove my-safe --yes

Note

--yes is a way to skip the prompt.

If you only have one safe, you will not have to specify which safe to use other commands. Otherwise, for most pending commands, you specify the safe to use (by alias) via the --safe option.

Additionally, you can configure a safe to use as the default when no --safe argument is present by configuring the following in your ape-config.yaml file:

safe:
  default_safe: my-safe

or via pyproject.toml:

[tool.ape.safe]
default_safe = "my-safe"

or specify via environment variable:

export APE_SAFE_DEFAULT_SAFE="my-safe"

Note

To avoid always needing to specify --network, you can set a default ecosystem, network, and provider in your config file. The rest of the guide will not specify --network on each command but assume it matches the network your Safe is on.

Once you have a safe, you can view pending transactions:

ape safe pending list

Note

You must specify the environment variable APE_SAFE_GATEWAY_API_KEY= to use the Safe Gateway API. Get an API key at the Safe Developer Portal.

It should show transactions like this:

Transaction 8 rejection (1/2) safe_tx_hash=0x09ab...a9a7
Transaction 8 transfer  (1/2) safe_tx_hash=0xed43...0a5b

Use the --verbose flag to see more information about each transaction:

ape safe pending list --verbose

There are several operations you can do on a pending transaction:

# Add more signatures using locally-configured Ape signer(s)
# NOTE: can specify either SafeTxID or Nonce
ape safe pending approve 0x09ab...a9a7

# Add remaining signatures and execute transction w/ account alias `submitter`
# NOTE: can specify either SafeTxID or Nonce
ape safe pending approve 2 --execute submitter

# Execute an already-signed transaction using `submitter`
ape safe pending execute 2 --account submitter

# Create an on-chain rejection for an existing transaction queue item
ape safe pending reject 2

MultiSend Support

Ape Safe allows sending “batched transactions” using the MultiSend module:

from ape import accounts
from ape_safe import multisend
from ape_tokens import tokens

me = accounts.load("my-key")
safe = accounts.load("my-safe")

# Load some contracts using ape-tokens
dai = tokens["DAI"]
vault = tokens["yvDAI"]
amount = dai.balanceOf(safe)  # How much we want to deposit

# Create a multisend batch transaction
batch = safe.create_batch()
batch.add(dai.approve, vault, amount)
batch.add(vault.deposit, amount)

# Fetch signatures from local signer(s)
# NOTE: will broadcast unless `submit=False`
batch(submitter=me)
# OR add to the Safe Gateway for later execution
batch.propose()

Cloud Environment

To use this plugin in a cloud environment, such as with the Silverback Platform, you will need to make sure that you have configured your Safe to exist within the environment. The easiest way to do this is to use the require configuration item. To specify a required Safe in your ape-config.yaml (which adds it into your ~/.ape/safe folder if it doesn’t exist), use:

safe:
  require:
    my-safe:
      address: "0x1234...AbCd"
      deployed_chain_ids: [1, 10] # Add all deployed chains here

or in pyproject.toml:

[tool.ape.safe.require."my-safe"]
address = "0x1234...AbCd"
deployed_chain_ids = [1, 10] # Add all deployed chains here

To specify via environment variable, do:

APE_SAFE_REQUIRE='{"my-safe":{"address":"0x1234...AbCd","deployed_chain_ids":[1,...]}}'

Note

If a safe with the same alias as an entry in require exists in your local environment, this will skip adding it, even if the existing alias points to a different address than the one in the config item.
