Safe Foundation and World Foundation strengthen economic alignment through 5-Year Token Swap

Safe Foundation and World Foundation strengthen economic alignment through 5-Year Token Swap

The Safe Foundation and World Foundation are doubling down on their shared vision with a five-year token swap – a long-term commitment that signals deep collaboration to advance usable self-custody at scale. This inaugural partnership in our 5M SAFE Ecosystem Alignment Program uses SAFE and WLD tokens to create bilateral economic exposure, positioning both ecosystems to accelerate secure and easy self-custody adoption.

Safe Foundation launches Ecosystem Alignment Program, allocating up to 5M SAFE to scale infrastructure

The Safe Foundation is committing up to 5,000,000 SAFE to accelerate the infrastructure powering secure and easy self-custody across the onchain economy. Through multi-year token swaps, the Safe Foundation is creating genuine, bilateral economic exposure with ecosystem leaders. 

The program operates through standardized, non-exclusive agreements designed to foster open collaboration, not closed ecosystems. As self-custody infrastructure matures from experimental to essential, the Safe Foundation ensures it’s economically positioned alongside the teams making that transition possible. This ensures that technical collaboration becomes economically rational, and long-term ecosystem success becomes mutually reinforcing.

A Collective Commitment to Usable Self-Custody at Scale

World has done more to onboard people around the world to self-custody than anyone else. From the beginning, World chose to build on the Safe smart account. It continues to enable every user to have a secure self-custodial experience, while making use of the flexibility and composability of the tech stack allowing to abstract onboarding and day to day hurdles for users.

Through this, the World ecosystem has created the leading application across Web3, having onboarded more than 37M individuals. The use of smart accounts has been critical for easier onboarding and for enabling the UX of self-custody that can rival that of centralized web2 services. Ultimately, this gives verified humans on World rights and ownership over their identity, data and assets. With their launch of World Chain and ongoing development of the space they are actively bringing and supporting builders which by nature overlaps towards the Safe ecosystem. This includes grant programs for developers and builders that interact with Safe based World accounts. After previous collaborations we are excited to continue and deepen the alignment between both teams. 

World Foundation’s commitment to support open source standards and actively contribute to the open source ecosystem adds another layer of value alignment between the Safe project, including its DAO enforced public good nature of the Safe smart contracts.
