Title is question.
In this subreddit and on r/cryptocurrency, I've seen many posts about this question with the usual arguments regarding software and hardware wallets. While I can understand these arguments, don't understand why well-established really good smart contract multi-signature wallets such as Gnosis Safe aren't ever recommended.
I mean, they have some unique advantages:
use m/n logic to ensure, that only m signers can make transactions
Signers can be software or hardware wallets ; both are possible, and as long as I use different wallets, it's unlikely that both will be hacked at the same time.
Can be used with multiple keys for yourself to have DIY 2FA and backups. I use 2/4 with one key for laptop, one for smartphone (2FA), and two backup keys at home(+friends) in case I loose my laptop+phone at the same time.
Easy key rolling. Lost laptop or compromised phone? No worries, I just replace the phone key with a new one.
Gnosis Safe smart contract supports all DeFi, because it's literally a smart contract making tx for you. This is in contrast to hardware wallets which are typically last in queue to support DeFi.
Multi-sig is implemented on-chain, instead in software. Some software wallets also have multiple-sig, but a bug in such large software is more likely that in concise smart contracts.
Is heavily used by defi DAOs to manage treasurjes, etc.
No single point of failure. Every wallet should have this, and only multi-sig wallets can actually achieve this.
And so on. As you see, such wallets can have many benefits, so I don't understand why they're rarely mentioned. The only problem I see, is that they're only on smart contract Blockchains. But since I almost only am in Ethereum ecosystem, this is fine.
What do you all think? Do you think multi-sig wallets are rightly underrated in such wallet discussions?
