Blend’s architecture is built on the principle of Cohesive Isolation. Every user’s assets are held in a personal, dedicated Gnosis Safe smart contract wallet. You, and only you, are the owner of this Safe. This ensures that you always retain full custody of your funds.However, these isolated Safes don’t operate in a vacuum. They are designed to act cohesively, executing sophisticated, automated strategies without ever compromising your custody. This is achieved through a system of permissioned modules and transaction guards.
Per-user Safe: Each account has its own Safe. There are no pooled funds, eliminating the risk of cross-user contamination.
Sole Signer: You are the sole signer on your Safe. Automation is handled by whitelisted, on-chain modules that your Safe explicitly trusts.
Transaction Guards: Every transaction is validated by a RolesGuard contract, which enforces system-wide rules like emergency pauses and role-based access control.
