Smart Execution for
Smart Accounts
Zodiac Pilot is a powerful execution interface for Safe accounts
Build multi-dapp transactions with modular batching, programmable permissions, and an industry-first sandbox environment — all from an intuitive browser side panel. Reduce risk, cut costs, and streamline treasury, governance, and DeFi workflows in one seamless interface.
Feature
Seamless Dapp Interactions
Pilot integrates Safe workflows directly into dapp interactions, eliminating the need for external approvals and custom integrations.
- One interface, no extra windows
- Pilot’s browser-native side panel embeds Safe execution into dapps.
- Test and execute transactions in one place
- Minimize coordination overhead for multisig signers.
- Seamless execution across protocols
- Move assets, execute swaps, and rebalance liquidity without leaving the workflow.
Feature
Smart Execution for Safe Accounts
Pilot enables scalable, programmable execution for Safe accounts — supporting both individual users and large-scale on-chain operations.
- Move beyond single-step approvals
- Automate multi-dapp execution paths and reduce manual coordination overhead.
- Reduce transaction costs
- Batch interactions across dapps to minimize gas fees.
- Trusted at scale
- Pilot facilitates secure, non-custodial execution for over $2B in DAO treasuries, including kpk (formerly karpatkey), ENS DAO, Balancer, and GnosisDAO.
Feature
Maximize Efficiency, Minimize Risk
Pilot eliminates transaction uncertainty with its advanced batching capabilities and industry-first simulation forks, providing a secure environment to test workflows before execution and maximizing capital efficiency.
- Group transactions into a single batch
- Execute multi-dapp workflows in one transaction to minimize gas costs and operational overhead.
- Simulate transactions in a dedicated sandbox
- Detect and fix errors in DeFi strategies, treasury operations, and DAO proposals before committing onchain.
- Validate smart contract interactions before execution
- Test transaction flows in a secure, off-chain environment to minimize risk and prevent costly failures.
Feature
Delegate with Advanced Permissions
Pilot enables secure delegation with fine-grained permissions using Zodiac Roles Modifier, allowing accounts to define precise, programmable execution rules.
- Assign tightly scoped permissions
- Avoid unnecessary signer fatigue while enforcing security controls.
- Limit execution risk
- Specify which transactions can be executed, by whom, and under what conditions.
- Reduce governance bottlenecks
- Teams can batch, delegate, and execute workflows without manual approvals at every step.
Manage Accounts & Execution Routes
In addition to the side panel, Pilot makes it easy to track assets across multiple Safe accounts and customize transaction routing — ensuring smooth, efficient onchain operations.
Multi-Account Management
View balances, switch between Safe accounts, and transfer tokens — streamlining treasury operations.
Route Customization & Sharing
Construct, edit, and share execution routes for flexible, repeatable workflows across teams.
Automated Pathfinding
Pilot surfaces all viable routes between accounts so you can choose the most efficient path.

Why Organizations Trust Pilot
Pilot and its underlying Zodiac modules for Safe have been instrumental in helping kpk manage funds securely, without taking custody of partner assets. The improved operational efficiency and security it affords have helped us grow our DAO treasury network to over $1.8B in assets.
Marcelo Ruiz de OlanoCEO at kpk (formerly karpatkey)
Pilot extends the power of Safe with streamlined transaction building and seamless dapp compatibility — no custom setup is needed. It makes connecting Safes to web3 apps as easy as using an EOA, helping DAOs and treasury teams operate and scale efficiently.
Lukas SchorCo-Founder Safe
With smart contracts, developers can permissionlessly compose modular building blocks together to create new functionality. But surfacing that functionality to people is much harder. Pilot makes this so much easier, and as a result will unlock thousands of net new user-facing possibilities.

Frequently Asked Questions
Have a different question and can’t find the answer you’re looking for? Join the Gnosis Guild Discord and drop a note in our support channel.
- Who built Pilot?
Pilot was built by Gnosis Guild, a web3-native venture builder incubated in GnosisDAO alongside Safe before spinning out as an independent entity.
- What is Zodiac?
In addition to Pilot, Gnosis Guild is the creator of Zodiac, an open standard for smart accounts that has led to a suite of open-source modules for Safe. Pilot itself isn't a Zodiac module, but integrates directly with the Zodiac ecosystem (specifically Zodiac Roles for role-based permissions).
- Do I need custom smart contracts or Safe modules to use Pilot?
No. Pilot works with your existing Safe setup — no additional contracts or modules required.
- Does Pilot work with all dapps?
Yes. Pilot enables multi-dapp execution without requiring custom integrations. Users can interact with Aave, Uniswap, Balancer, and more directly from the side panel.
- Is Pilot secure?
Yes. Pilot extends Safe’s execution capabilities without modifying its security model. Transactions remain non-custodial, signed by Safe’s multisig permissions, and fully transparent.
- Is Pilot available on mobile or non-Chromium browsers?
Not currently. Pilot is a desktop-only tool, compatible exclusively with Chromium-based browsers like Chrome, Brave, and Opera. Mobile support is not available at this time.
- Does Pilot work for individual users, or just teams?
Both. While treasury teams and DAOs benefit from batching and role-based execution, individual users can use Pilot to:
- Automate frequent interactions and reduce signer fatigue;
- Batch approvals across dapps for a smoother user experience; and
- Test transactions before signing to prevent failed transactions and unexpected costs.
- Are there fees associated with using Pilot?
Yes, but only for certain actions. See the Pilot fees table for details.
