Recently, the SAFE Foundation announced that the Anwang (SAFE) 4.0 mainnet has passed an audit by an international authoritative organization and officially launched on April 25, 2025.
Anwang (SAFE) is one of the earliest public chains in China, with its earliest version SAFE1 launched in 2014, and the previous version SAFE3 launched in the autumn of 2018. SAFE4 has been completed after more than four years of development.
It is understood that the Anwang (SAFE) upgrade has brought three key technological breakthroughs - cross-chain interoperability, asset custody, and ultra-low transaction costs, aiming to build the next generation of blockchain financial infrastructure for global users, developers, and institutions.
1. Cross-chain interoperability, breaking the ecological islands of public chains, enabling the circulation market for encrypted assets.
Breaking through the ecological islands between mainstream public chains worldwide and achieving cross-chain interoperability is a major feature of Anwang 4.0.
It is understood that after the launch of Anwang 4.0, the SafeSwap protocol will be launched simultaneously, aiming to break the ecological islands and enable the free flow of encrypted assets. For example, supporting one-click cross-chain interoperability of mainstream assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum to enhance asset allocation flexibility.
Before the launch of cross-chain services in Anwang 4.0, various encrypted assets belonging to different public chains could only achieve cross-chain circulation through two methods: one is to transfer through centralized trading platforms; the other is to achieve it through specialized third-party cross-chain tools; the former has complex and cumbersome processes, while the latter are mostly centralized third-party tools with very limited varieties and functions of cross-chain encrypted assets.
The cross-chain service launched by Anwang 4.0 directly realizes cross-chain functionality on the public chain, with a simple process that avoids centralized operations while accommodating the cross-chain circulation needs of most mainstream public chain assets.
2. Decentralized asset custody, providing new ideas for wealth inheritance.
It is understood that after the launch of Anwang 4.0, a decentralized multi-chain asset custody solution will be introduced, leveraging smart contracts to achieve intergenerational wealth management. This solution adopts a zero-trust architecture design, achieving automated management and intergenerational inheritance of encrypted assets. Users can customize locking conditions based on their needs to adapt to diverse application scenarios.
For example, in scenarios such as children's education funds and retirement savings, it can be realized through Anwang 4's exclusive public chain locking technology.
This means that Anwang 4 has successfully resolved the traditional Chinese belief that 'wealth does not last beyond three generations' with its decentralized secrets, addressing traditional social pain points and difficulties regarding wealth creation, preservation, and transmission.
It is understood that the Anwang 4.0 launched the exclusive linear encryption asset locking technology.
For example, users can lock up 1200 ETH or other encrypted assets linearly for a maximum of 100 years, thus automatically releasing 1 token (12 tokens per year) for user use every month during the first 100 years of locking.
This ensures that every month, at the specified time, users and their descendants can use a released encrypted asset token on time for the next 100 years. Those that have not reached the unlocking height cannot be used.
This is a very meaningful solution, and people in the crypto circle should feel it more profoundly. Because buying encrypted assets is easy, but holding them is difficult. It completely solves the problem of crypto users being unable to 'hold' or 'guard' their assets.
For example, Bitcoin holding and locking for passive appreciation.
Industry insiders believe that Anwang 4's linear locking solution effectively avoids the moral and operational risks that may exist in traditional centralized custody institutions, providing 'perpetual custody' services for assets, and is expected to become the preferred solution for wealth appreciation management.
3. Ultra-low transaction costs, directly empowering developers and high-frequency trading users.
The high transaction costs of BTC and ETH public chains have long been criticized by users.
In Anwang 4.0, whether using cross-chain services or regular transactions, the transaction fees (costs) are so low they can be almost ignored.
For example, compared to the Ethereum (ETH) public chain, the transaction fees (costs) of Anwang 4.0 are only 1/1000 of ETH's.
Such low transaction fees (costs) have a huge and absolute cost advantage, whether in cross-chain services or in other public chains globally.
This means that users completing small payments and high-frequency trading through Anwang 4.0 will face almost zero pressure in transaction fees (costs);
It is worth noting that Anwang 4.0 is also 100% compatible with EVM. Thousands of developers can seamlessly migrate DApps to the Anwang public chain, seizing new public chain dividends. For example, enjoying more powerful public chain basic services and saving more R&D costs (transaction fees), etc.
Therefore, based on the SafeSwap protocol, institutional users can complete cross-chain asset allocation at low costs, optimizing the efficiency of fund usage; ordinary users can enjoy an upgraded experience in small payments, in-game purchases, and other scenarios; developers can quickly reuse existing smart contracts, reduce migration costs, and accelerate the implementation of innovative applications.
According to the SAFE Foundation in Singapore, after the launch of Anwang 4.0, it will actively promote cooperation with global top exchanges, fully opening cross-chain interoperability features with BTC, ETH, and other public chains, and building an open ecosystem. At the same time, integrating trusts and insurance funds to achieve deep integration of traditional finance and the encrypted world.
"Anwang 4.0 is a revolution in the infrastructure of digital asset custody and cross-chain finance! We will create an open-source, secure, and inclusive blockchain network that empowers the global crypto economy!" said a spokesperson for the SAFE Foundation.
