RIF Multisig Architecture - Safe Contracts

There are 3 main contracts involved in RIF Multisig:

Safe contracts overview

They apply the proxy pattern to lower the gas cost by splitting logic (GnosisSafe) and storage (GnosisSafeProxy) into separate contracts.

GnosisSafe

It provides the functionalities required to setup a GnosisSafe and to execute the transactions. It also exposes the methods to add, remove or swap the owners and set a new threshold.

Setup

It sets the initial storage of the contract.

function setup(
    address[] calldata _owners,
    uint256 _threshold,
    address to,
    bytes calldata data,
    address fallbackHandler,
    address paymentToken,
    uint256 payment,
    address payable paymentReceiver
)
    external

Parameters:

  • _owners: List of Safe owners.
  • _threshold: Number of required confirmations for a Safe transaction.
  • to: Contract address for optional delegate call.
  • data: Data payload for optional delegate call.
  • fallbackHandler: Handler for fallback calls to this contract
  • paymentToken: Token that should be used for the payment (0 is ETH)
  • payment: Value that should be paid
  • paymentReceiver: Address that should receive the payment (or 0 if tx.origin)

getTransactionHash

It calculates the hash of a transaction.

function getTransactionHash(
    address to,
    uint256 value,
    bytes memory data,
    Enum.Operation operation,
    uint256 safeTxGas,
    uint256 baseGas,
    uint256 gasPrice,
    address gasToken,
    address refundReceiver,
    uint256 _nonce
)
    public
    view
    returns (bytes32)

Parameters:

  • to: Destination address.
  • value: Ether value.
  • data: Data payload.
  • operation: Operation type.
  • safeTxGas: Gas that should be used for the safe transaction.
  • baseGas: Gas costs for data used to trigger the safe transaction.
  • gasPrice: Maximum gas price that should be used for this transaction.
  • gasToken: Token address (or 0 if ETH) that is used for the payment.
  • refundReceiver: Address of receiver of gas payment (or 0 if tx.origin).
  • _nonce: Transaction nonce.

approveHash

It marks a hash as approved, hence, it can be executed by owners only.

function approveHash(bytes32 hashToApprove)
    external

Parameters:

  • hashToApprove: The hash that should be marked as approved for signatures that are verified by this contract.

execTransaction

It allows to execute a Safe transaction confirmed by the required number of owners (threshold) and then pays the account that submitted the transaction. The fees are always transferred, even if the user transaction fails.

function execTransaction(
    address to,
    uint256 value,
    bytes calldata data,
    Enum.Operation operation,
    uint256 safeTxGas,
    uint256 baseGas,
    uint256 gasPrice,
    address gasToken,
    address payable refundReceiver,
    bytes calldata signatures
)
    external
    payable
    returns (bool success)

Parameters:

  • to: Destination address of Safe transaction.
  • value: Ether value of Safe transaction.
  • data: Data payload of Safe transaction.
  • operation: Operation type of Safe transaction.
  • safeTxGas: Gas that should be used for the Safe transaction.
  • baseGas: Gas costs for that are independent of the transaction execution(e.g. base transaction fee, signature check, payment of the refund)
  • gasPrice: Gas price that should be used for the payment calculation.
  • gasToken: Token address (or 0 if ETH) that is used for the payment.
  • refundReceiver: Address of receiver of gas payment (or 0 if tx.origin).
  • signatures: Packed signature data ({bytes32 r}{bytes32 s}{uint8 v})

nonce

The nonce usage prevents replay attacks. Its value is incremented each time a transaction is executed, hence each transaction should have a different nonce. This mechanism also allows the rejection of a transaction before its execution. Once a transaction is created, it can be rejected by creating and executing a new transaction with the same nonce. In that way, the original transaction cannot be executed anymore.

uint256 public nonce;

GnosisSafeProxy

It is the contract entitled to manage the address and the storage of a Safe. It forwards the requests to the master copy (GnosisSafe). Its master copy can be changed so the Safe logic is also upgradable, even if it requires the creation of a transaction that must be confirmed by all Safe owners.

fallback function

It forwards all transactions and returns all received return data.

function ()
    external
    payable
{
    assembly {
        let masterCopy := and(sload(0), 0xffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff)
        // 0xa619486e == keccak("masterCopy()"). The value is right padded to 32-bytes with 0s
        if eq(calldataload(0), 0xa619486e00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000) {
            mstore(0, masterCopy)
            return(0, 0x20)
        }
        calldatacopy(0, 0, calldatasize())
        let success := delegatecall(gas, masterCopy, 0, calldatasize(), 0, 0)
        returndatacopy(0, 0, returndatasize())
        if eq(success, 0) { revert(0, returndatasize()) }
        return(0, returndatasize())
    }
}

GnosisSafeProxyFactory

It allows the creation and the setup of (GnosisSafeProxy)[#gnosissafeproxy] instances and it emits an event upon successful creation.

createProxy

It allows to create new proxy contact and execute a message call to the new proxy within one transaction.

function createProxy(address masterCopy, bytes memory data)
    public
    returns (GnosisSafeProxy proxy)
{

Parameters:

  • masterCopy: Address of master copy.
  • data: Payload for message call sent to new proxy contract. It allows the creation of new SafeProxy instances and their setup in a single transaction.

ProxyCreation

Event emitted upon successful creation.

event ProxyCreation(GnosisSafeProxy proxy);

The official specs can be found on the Gnosis Safe Developer Portal.
