Timelock
Waiting gives humans time.
Owner-path and module-path transactions can be announced, wait through a configured delay, then execute as ordinary Safe transactions.
Runtime Lockdown Guard
Safe-native timelock and panic lockdown controls.
Runtime Lockdown Guard is the planned timelock, panic-lockdown, and anti-coercion product for high-value Safes. It is designed for Safe v1.5.0, Ethereum mainnet first, with funds remaining in the Safe.
Panic lockdown
Freeze execution during suspicious conditions.
A pre-registered panic signer can lock down execution paths during a suspicious or coerced situation. The mechanism creates an intervention window; it does not remove the need for drills and operating discipline.
Reviewed fast lane
GREEN can bypass delay when policy allows.
The planned fast lane lets an allowlisted reviewer bypass the timelock for transactions independently reviewed as GREEN and policy-compliant.
Limits
Safe v1.5.0 required.
Lockdown depends on Safe v1.5.0 module guard support. Existing Safes may need an upgrade before full owner-path and module-path coverage is possible.
Lockdown Guard is not a magic anti-coercion promise. It creates delay, visibility, and a lockdown mechanism. It still depends on Safe configuration, panic-signer drills, and humans triggering lockdown in time.
