This document provides instructions for signing and executing transactions on nested safe architectures where child safes (like Foundation, Security Council, or Chain Governor) are owned by a root safe.
For single safe operations (root safe only), please use SINGLE.md instead.
cd superchain-ops/src
git pull
just --justfile ../../justfile clean
just --justfile ../../justfile install
cd tasks/<NETWORK_DIR>/<RUNBOOK_DIR>Your Ledger needs to be connected and unlocked. The Ethereum application needs to be opened on Ledger with the message "Application is ready".
Make sure your ledger is still unlocked and run the following commands depending on which Safe you are signing on behalf of.
Note: The default simulation requires a connected ledger. For development/testing purposes, you can simulate without a ledger by adding SIMULATE_WITHOUT_LEDGER=1 to your command or .env file.
Note: Remember that by default the script will assume the derivation path of your address is m/44'/60'/0'/0/0.
If you wish to use a different account, set the HD_PATH environment variable. For example, HD_PATH=1 will derive the address using m/44'/60'/1'/0/0 instead.
For the Security Council:
just --dotenv-path $(pwd)/.env simulate councilFor the Foundation:
just --dotenv-path $(pwd)/.env simulate foundationFor the Chain Governor:
just --dotenv-path $(pwd)/.env simulate chain-governorThis will generate an op-txverify link with instructions on how to verify the domain and message hashes. Follow and complete the instructions before proceeding.
You will also see a "Simulation link" from the output.
Paste this URL in your browser. A prompt may ask you to choose a project, any project will do. You can create one if necessary.
Click "Simulate Transaction". Please note that in some cases, when the calldata is very large, you may have to complete an additional step. This involves copying and pasting the 'Raw Input data' field from the terminal into the Raw input data field in the Tenderly simulation, then clicking "Simulate Transaction".
We will be performing 3 validations and extract the domain hash and message hash to approve on your Ledger:
- Validate integrity of the simulation.
- Validate correctness of the state diff.
- Validate and extract domain hash and message hash to approve.
Make sure you are on the "Overview" tab of the tenderly simulation, to validate integrity of the simulation, we need to check the following:
- "Network": Check the network is Ethereum mainnet or Sepolia. This must match the
<NETWORK_DIR>from above. - "Timestamp": Check the simulation is performed on a block with a recent timestamp (i.e. close to when you run the script).
- "Sender": Check the address shown is your signer account. If not see the derivation path Note above.
Now click on the "State" tab, and refer to the "State Validations" instructions for the transaction you are signing. Once complete return to this document to complete the signing.
Now that we have verified the transaction performs the right operation, we need to extract the domain hash and the message hash to approve.
Go back to the "Overview" tab, and find the
GnosisSafe.checkSignatures call. This call's data parameter
contains both the domain hash and the message hash that will show up
in your Ledger.
Here is an example screenshot. Note that the hash value may be different:
It will be a concatenation of 0x1901, the domain hash, and the
message hash: 0x1901[domain hash][message hash].
Note down this value. You will need to compare it with the ones displayed on the Ledger screen at signing.
Use op-txverify to confirm the transaction and the message/domain hashes.
- Run the
simulatecommand for your given Superchain Ops task. - Find the
OP-TXVERIFY LINKsection of the Superchain Ops task output. - Copy the link as shown in the output (links to
op-txverify.optimism.io) and send it to another device (phone is easiest). - Run
op-txverify qron your first device. This will open a QR scanner. - Open the link on your second device. This will start flashing a series of QR codes.
- Place your second device in front of the camera of the first device. Once enough QR codes have been scanned, you’ll see a success message.
- Return to the first device and view the output of
op-txverify. - Review the transaction contents and confirm that it matches the transaction that you expect to send, including all addresses and input parameters.
- Review the message hash and domain hash and confirm that it matches the hashes presented in Superchain Ops.
- Return to Superchain Ops to complete signing.
Once the validations are done, it's time to actually sign the transaction. Make sure your ledger is still unlocked and run the following:
For the Security Council:
just --dotenv-path $(pwd)/.env sign councilFor the Foundation:
just --dotenv-path $(pwd)/.env sign foundationFor the Chain Governor:
just --dotenv-path $(pwd)/.env sign chain-governorWarning
This is the most security critical part of the playbook: make sure the domain hash and message hash in the following two places match:
- On your Ledger screen.
- In the Tenderly simulation. You should use the same Tenderly simulation as the one you used to verify the state diffs, instead of opening the new one printed in the console.
There is no need to verify anything printed in the console. There is no need to open the new Tenderly simulation link either.
After verification, sign the transaction. You will see the Data,
Signer and Signature printed in the console. Format should be
something like this:
Data: <DATA>
Signer: <ADDRESS>
Signature: <SIGNATURE>Double check the signer address is the right one.
Nothing has occurred onchain - these are offchain signatures which will be collected by Facilitators for execution. Execution can occur by anyone once a threshold of signatures are collected, so a Facilitator will do the final execution for convenience.
Share the Data, Signer and Signature with the Facilitator, and
congrats, you are done!
- Collect outputs from all participating signers.
- Concatenate all signatures and export it as the
SIGNATURESenvironment variable, i.e.export SIGNATURES="0x[SIGNATURE1][SIGNATURE2]...". - Run the
just approvecommand as described below to approve the transaction in each multisig.
For example, if the quorum is 2 and you get the following outputs:
Data: 0xDEADBEEF
Signer: 0xC0FFEE01
Signature: AAAAData: 0xDEADBEEF
Signer: 0xC0FFEE02
Signature: BBBBThen you should run:
For the Foundation:
export SIGNATURES="0xAAAABBBB"
just --dotenv-path $(pwd)/.env approve foundationFor the Security Council:
export SIGNATURES="0xAAAABBBB"
just --dotenv-path $(pwd)/.env approve councilFor the Chain Governor:
export SIGNATURES="0xAAAABBBB"
just --dotenv-path $(pwd)/.env approve chain-governorOnce the signatures have been submitted approving the transaction for all nested Safes run:
just --dotenv-path $(pwd)/.env execute
