3,000+ firms sold crypto in Europe before MiCA. About 325 hold a licence today. The ones left are shipping.
We documented 21 live architectures, end to end: the exact article, who runs it, which vendors held up, and the one layer no vendor sells.

"Be comfortable that things will break."
Emma Landriault on what production on public chains asks of a bank: teams ready to fix what goes wrong, and monitoring for risks they aren't used to watching.
Blueprint BP-18 maps out that response under DORA: protofire.io/blueprints/risk…
Multisig signers, meet plain English.
“Call depositETH on WrappedTokenGatewayV3” now reads “Supply on AAVE”.
When your wallet transaction pops out, no more guessing, no decoding skills required.
The second and third signer finally get to read what the first one proposes.
Built on ERC-7730, an evolving Draft standard. Our implementation is in an early phase (beta) and will keep improving as the spec matures.
Treat it as an extra check -> your judgement still signs.
Live on Ethereum today.

Oasis is now on Protofire Multisig.
Teams on Oasis already had an interface of their own for signing off the payments they make.
Oasis now sits in the same app as the other networks we run. A team working across several of them moves from one to another without leaving the app it has open. Same signers, same rules.
Built and maintained by Dew Point Labs, before today and after it. @OasisProtocol

A stablecoin-funded card authorises against a wallet the programme doesn’t hold.
Every tap needs a live on-chain balance check, and every chargeback has to reconcile against that wallet.

Andrei Yurkevich, Protofire’s Co-Founder, is heading to @money2020 USA in Las Vegas next week.
We’ve spent the past 10 years building onchain infrastructure. Andrei will be there to share what we’ve learned and hear how teams across banking and payments are approaching stablecoins and tokenization.
If you’re attending, say hello 👋

Congrats to the @safe team on launching Safenet!
Every Safe user can now get a second opinion on a transaction from independent security teams before signing.
Simple idea, big impact for self-custody.
SAFE holders can also stake to Safenet validators at safenet-staking.protofire.io
🔊 Introducing Safenet Aegis: the first production-ready and fee-generating release of Safenet, secured by $SAFE.
Safenet is a decentralized security protocol for self-custody.
💲 A user submits a transaction to Safenet for a small fee.
👓 Sentinels @OpenCover, @BlockSecTeam, @candidelabs, and @IntentGuard check every transaction and are accountable for their verdicts.
✅ Validators @gnosis_, @greenfield_cap, @SafeLabs_, and Core Contributors attest the verdict onchain.
💂 A formally verified Safenet Guard can enforce the attestation, back on the user @safe , defending against threats.
Safenet is live on @ethereum @arbitrum and @gnosischain and is coming soon to @SafeLabs_ multisigs.

Stablecoins have proven demand.
For fintechs, banks, and enterprises, the next question is strategic: how do wallets, cards, treasury flows, settlement, compliance, and distribution fit together?
The Protocol Roundtable Ep. 6
Stablecoins Go Mainstream: Inside the New Payments Stack
Oct 15, 1 PM UTC

Robinhood Chain is now on Protofire Multisig 🪶
Robinhood built it to bring real-world assets such as Stock Tokens to people anywhere in the world, at any hour. Glad to have you, @RobinhoodCrypto!
From today, a team with funds on Robinhood Chain can approve each payment together, alongside every other network it holds funds on.
app.safe.protofire.io!
Stock Tokens trade on Robinhood Chain 24/7 🌍
It also handles transactions strictly in the order they arrive. Nobody can pay a higher fee to go first.
With trading that never stops, a team's approvals can't wait for office hours. On Multisig they happen from wherever the team is, whenever a payment is ready ⚡
Robinhood Chain joins @RaylsLabs, which keeps banks' client activity private, and @zilliqa, which runs the compliance check before a payment goes through.
If your network belongs here too, dewpointlabs.io is where to find the team.
On a multisig, the first signer knows what the transaction does. The second and third often do not. They see a contract address and a function name, and they approve it anyway.
Protofire Multisig now shows what a transaction actually means before it is signed. "Call depositETH on WrappedTokenGatewayV3" reads as "Supply on AAVE".
Signed messages are covered too, not only transactions - if it exists in the registry, you’ll see it as well.
Less migraine, more understanding of what is actually happening with team funds.
The descriptions come from the ERC-7730 registry hosted by the Ethereum Foundation and mirrored by Protofire, read through the open-source Sourcify clear signing library. Protocols decide how their own actions are described.
Right now, this feature is in BETA: ERC-7730 integration on Protofire Multisig should be treated as an additional check, not a verification. We continuously work towards improvements and new releases.

Tokenized assets are only half the story. The cash leg matters just as much.
In Episode 5, Martin Quensel (@centrifuge) and Emma Laundriault (@jpmorgan Payments) discussed why stablecoins, deposits, and digitally native cash are becoming foundational to onchain finance.
This Thursday, The Protocol Roundtable goes deeper into the payments stack itself.

ADI Chain is now on Protofire Multisig!
Built in Abu Dhabi for institutions, it's the network where DDSC settles: a digital dirham licensed by the UAE Central Bank.
Teams holding funds on ADI Chain can now open the accounts they run together on Multisig, in the same app as the other networks they use.
app.safe.protofire.io
ADI Chain carries regulated money. On Multisig, the team holding it agrees each payment together.
Marhaba, @ADIChain_
Next to @HSKChain, built for global finance, and @RaylsLabs, bringing bank liquidity onto the blockchain.
Networks joining next start at dewpointlabs.io
On @arc, a treasury can hold stablecoins, spend stablecoins and pay for the transfer in the same stablecoins. Nothing else needed.
Arc charges its network fees in USDC. What was left was the people. Until now someone approving a payment had to keep a balance in their own wallet before it could go out, and payments waited when they didn't.
Protofire Multisig now takes that off the signer. The team account settles its own fees, and the people approving hold nothing.
Two pieces of work got us there: our relayer now runs on Arc, and an account can pay a fee in a network's own coin.

New Integration upcoming!
BOT Chain is now on Protofire Multisig 🤖
A network built for AI agents - imagine it as a version of The Matrix, but Mr. Smith is good: software that makes payments and records the results on its own. Glad to have you with us, @BOTChain_ai!
On BOT Chain, a new block, the batch of recorded transactions, lands about every 0.75 seconds. Part of the computing power behind it comes from real machines their owners connect to the network ⚡
Agents work at that pace. A team's own funds are still decided by people, and from today a team on BOT Chain decides together in Multisig, next to the other networks it holds funds on.
Now, every team that opens Multisig, whatever network brought them, now sees BOT Chain in the list.
Other networks there that work with AI and data: @AutonomysNet for AI agents and computing power, @Filecoin for storing data.

New in Protofire Multisig: Swap & Bridge, powered by @lifiprotocol 🌉
Ready on 30+ networks, including @SeiNetwork, @build_on_bob, @Immutable, among many others - and more to come!
A Multisig account can now swap and move its funds to another network without leaving the app.
Protofire Multisig already gives a team one account across many networks, with the same address on each.
Now that account can move funds between them.
LI.FI checks many bridges and exchanges and finds the best route for each transfer.
Give it a go: app.safe.protofire.io
