Momentum Safe
Moderate risk — solid wallet infrastructure, but multi-sig security is only as strong as the humans holding the keys
Top Risks
1
Multi-sig key management is inherently fragile; social engineering, key theft, or insider collusion can compromise treasuries regardless of smart contract security
2
Momentum Safe is critical infrastructure for Move ecosystem (Sui, Aptos, Movement, IOTA); a major exploit or treasury drain would cascade across all dependent protocols and DAOs
3
Move smart contract ecosystem is less mature than EVM; novel vulnerabilities in Move-based multi-sig logic may not be discovered until exploited in production
Risk Breakdown
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Momentum Safe safe to use?
Momentum Safe receives a C+ risk grade (38/100) from Hindenrank, where lower scores indicate lower risk. Moderate risk — solid wallet infrastructure, but multi-sig security is only as strong as the humans holding the keys A multi-signature wallet for the Move blockchain ecosystem (Sui, Aptos), acting as the primary treasury management tool for protocols and DAOs on these chains. It secures over $100M in assets and raised $5M. Its B- grade reflects the inherent fragility of key management. The smart contracts work, but if enough key-holders are tricked or compromised, the treasury drains regardless.
What are the main risks of using Momentum Safe?
The key risks identified for Momentum Safe are: (1) Multi-sig security depends on human key-holders. If enough signers get phished, hacked, or collude, the treasury is drained. No smart contract can fix compromised people. (2) The Move blockchain ecosystem has fewer security auditors and less battle-tested tooling than Ethereum. Bugs in Momentum Safe's code may go undetected until exploited. (3) The app store lets DAOs interact with third-party DeFi apps through the multi-sig. A malicious app could trick the multi-sig into signing transactions that drain the treasury.
What is Momentum Safe's risk score breakdown?
Momentum Safe scores 38/100 across eight risk dimensions: Mechanism Novelty: 2/15, Interaction Severity: 8/20, Oracle Surface: 0/10, Documentation Gaps: 3/10, Track Record: 6/15, Scale Exposure: 5/10, Regulatory Risk: 4/10, Vitality Risk: 10/10. The highest risk area is Vitality Risk at 10/10.
How does Momentum Safe compare to other DeFi protocols?
