Your Gnosis App wallet is a Safe smart account.
A Safe is a smart contract wallet. Instead of being controlled directly by one owned account, the wallet is controlled by a logic inside the smart contract. This allows the wallet to support multiple owners, custom signing methods, recovery logic, modules, guards, and other account-abstraction features.
In practice, your Gnosis App Safe is the onchain account that holds your assets. Assets such as CRC, gCRC, GNO, and the G NFT are held by this Safe address, not by Gnosis App in a custodial account.
When you use Gnosis App, the app gives you a simplified interface for interacting with this Safe smart contract. When you inspect the same address through a tool like the Safe web interface, you see the higher-level smart account configuration.
Owners, signers, and Safe threshold
A Safe smart contract has a list of owner addresses and a signing threshold.
The owner list defines which addresses are authorized to sign Safe transactions.
The threshold defines how many valid owner signatures are required before a transaction can be executed.
For example, a Safe may be configured as a 1-of-6 Safe. This means there are six owner addresses, and one valid owner signature is enough to execute a transaction.
Seeing several owner addresses in the Safe interface does not automatically mean several people control your wallet. Some of these owners may represent technical signing methods used by Gnosis App, passkeys, recovery flows, or external wallets.
The Safe UI shows addresses. It does not always explain what each address represents in the Gnosis App account setup.
What is an External Owner Address?
An External Owner Address is an external wallet address that is added as an owner or signer of your Gnosis App Safe.
This may be an EOA you control through another wallet, such as Zeal, Rabby, MetaMask, or another compatible wallet. If that address is listed as a Safe owner, it can authorize Safe actions according to the Safe threshold.
This means the external owner is part of the Safe’s owner set at the contract level. It is not just a label in the app.
Depending on your setup, the external owner may be used as an additional signing method, recovery path, or wallet-management option.
In the Safe UI, do I see several owner addresses in Safe?
If you open your Gnosis App Safe in the Safe.global web interface, you may see multiple owner addresses.
These can include:
an EOA you connected as an external owner
passkey-related signer addresses
app-managed signer addresses
recovery-related signer addresses
other addresses used by the Gnosis App smart account setup
This is expected for a smart account wallet that supports passkeys and recovery.
A passkey is not displayed in Safe as “your passkey.” At the Safe contract level, passkey-based authorization is represented through signer infrastructure that can appear as one or more owner addresses.
That is why the Safe UI may show owner addresses that you do not immediately recognize, even though they are part of the technical wallet setup used by Gnosis App.
Passkeys and Safe owner addresses
Gnosis App uses passkeys to give you a simpler signing experience.
From the user side, you approve actions with a passkey. From the Safe side, the wallet still needs a valid authorization path that the Safe contract can verify. This means passkey-based signing may appear in Safe tooling as owner or signer addresses.
The important distinction is:
Gnosis App shows the human-friendly account experience.
Safe.global tooling shows the smart contract wallet configuration.
Passkeys may be represented by signer addresses when viewed through Safe tooling.
This can look unfamiliar if you expect every owner address to be a normal EOA controlled through a browser wallet.
Where can I find the private key of my Wallet in Gnosis App?
You cannot find or export a private key for your Gnosis App wallet / Safe in the same way you would for a regular wallet.
In practice:
The Safe does not have one private key to export.
Your passkey is used to authorize actions, but it is not a private key that Gnosis App can show or recover.
If you added an external owner address, that external wallet may have its own private key or recovery method, managed by that wallet provider.
Gnosis App support cannot access, recover, or provide any private key.
If you want to inspect the wallet technically, you can view the Safe address in a Safe interface and check the owner/signature setup.
Does this mean unknown addresses can move my assets?
No. A Safe owner address is part of the wallet’s authorization setup, but whether it can execute a transaction depends on the Safe threshold and the configured account logic.
Any valid owner signer may be sufficient. Gnosis App abstracts this complexity so normal users do not need to manually manage owners, thresholds, or signer infrastructure.
However, if you inspect your Safe directly, you are seeing the underlying smart account configuration. Unknown-looking addresses may represent passkey or app-managed signer infrastructure rather than unknown individuals.
If you see transactions you did not authorize, or an owner change you do not recognize, review the Safe transaction history and wallet activity carefully.
Do I need to change the owner list manually?
Gnosis App is designed so users do not need to manage the Safe owner set directly through the Safe web interface.
Changing owners, thresholds, modules, or recovery-related settings manually can affect your ability to access the wallet through Gnosis App. It may also break expected app behavior.
Unless you know exactly what you are doing, avoid manually changing the Safe configuration outside Gnosis App.
Why the Safe UI may look different from Gnosis App ?
Gnosis App and the Safe.global web interface show the same wallet from different perspectives.
Gnosis App focuses on the product experience: assets, rewards, Rep, CRC, gCRC, GNO, G NFT, Shop, profile, with passkey-based access.
The Safe.global web interface focuses on the smart account: owners, threshold, modules, transactions, signatures, and contract-level configuration.
Both views can be correct. They are just showing different layers of the same wallet.
