🤖 Product Launch: Safe Watch Agent

AI-Powered Fraud Detection for Safe Wallets

The Gnosis AI team has launched Safe Watch Agent, an intelligent fraud detection agent for Safe wallets on Gnosis Chain and Ethereum. This onchain agent acts as a guardian co-signer, analyzing transactions 24/7 and providing proactive protection against malicious behavior.

Safe Watch Agent monitors queued transactions and can detect suspicious transfers, excessive gas fees, blacklisted addresses, and AI-flagged fraud patterns. When malicious activity is detected, the agent blocks the transaction by submitting a rejection. For legitimate transactions, it can sign and help execute them.

Safe Watch Agent is perfect for DAO treasury protection, prediction markets, streamers, creators, and anyone managing onchain assets who wants intelligent, proactive security without sacrificing self-custody.

Try it now: The agent is open source and includes a live demo. Transactions on Gnosis Chain benefit from sponsored gas fees for seamless UX.

This represents Gnosis's vision of security for the sovereign web—smart, user-aligned protection that empowers rather than controls.
