Let’s go 👇
SafeTech Labs – Ready to Revolutionize the Digital World
For SafeTech Labs, the innovative R&D company behind the Safe Haven ecosystem, Q1 of 2023 has been game-changing as well.

SafeKey – A Complete Make Over
Q1 was also when the new SafeKey branding was rolled out.
With the fresh look and feel, we have also launched a new SafeKey website that will serve as the go-to source for information about the device.
The website is designed to provide in-depth but easy-to-understand documentation for all types of audiences, including crypto users, regular internet users, business owners, and enterprises.
Rebranding for #SafeKey is finally live! 🔥 🥳

Introduction SafeKey One and SafeKey Pro
To complement the new website, we have also updated our webshop with the latest brand style and positioning for the SafeKey devices. You can now find the clear names for our two SafeKey models: SafeKey One and SafeKey Pro.
SafeKey One
SafeKey One is a strong two-factor authentication device that uses FIDO2/U2F technology to protect your accounts against password or phishing attacks.
SafeKey One makes you unhackable.
SafeKey Pro
SafeKey Pro, on the other hand, contains both FIDO2/U2F and SSDP technology. This means that SafeKey Pro offers all of the benefits of SafeKey One, but it also has custom internal storage that allows you to store shares of encrypted backups and inheritance plans via Inheriti®.
SafeKey Pro is literally unique in the world.
Comparison: SafeKey One vs SafeKey Pro
These different SafeKey models will help us to explain the different use cases more clearly and guide users more effectively. We believe that the new names and clear explanations will help users to choose the right SafeKey for their needs.
SafeKey Bundles
We noticed in the past that it’s not always clear for people where and how to start with a SafeKey device. There was a lack of information and guidance available about what use cases need which SafeKey model and how many device(s).
We created some simple bundles to remove this barrier:
- SafeKey Starters Kit
- Social Media Protection Pack
- Family Inheritance Packs
- Business Continuity Pack
- Personal Backup Pack

Comet 2.0
Comet Beta Testing Program Started
Comet 2.0 beta testing program started in March, and our beta testers are still diligently testing the Comet wallet browser extension.
Thanks to our incredible beta testers, we have received substantial feedback on the user-friendliness of the interface (UI) and the process of managing tokens and transactions (UX).
We are grateful for the dedication and support of our beta testers, who continue to play an essential role in helping us create a secure and easy-to-use wallet for Web3. We are continually refining our design and user experience, based on the feedback we have received so far.
We are confident that we are well on our way to delivering an exceptional wallet experience.
Comet Website Internally Finished – Temporary Placeholder Online
As the beta testing phase of Comet 2.0 continues and we recently already created a new brand style for Comet, we now also have completed the development of Comet’s new website, which will be launched later together with Comet 2.0, bringing it all together.
The new website represents our commitment to providing a seamless and user-friendly experience for all of Comet’s users. And although it will still be kept behind closed doors for now, we have put a temporary placeholder/landing page on our brand new domain name cometwallet.io already, until we officially launch.
Inheriti®
Ongoing Internal Developments and Testing
We’re currently still conducting internal testing for new Inheriti® features. This includes testing fiat payments, the integration of Comet 2.0 and Venly, payments with SHA and connecting Inheriti® Vault with SafeKey Mobile.
Additionally, we’re working on optimizing the user flow and improving the overall user experience based on these and upcoming new features, which will eventually result in Inheriti 2.0, as mentioned in our roadmap.
https://safehaven.io/2023-roadmap/
We’re excited and look forward to share what we’ve been working on.
Inheriti’s Dead Man Switch
The mail settings of the Dead Man Switch trigger mails is further optimized, to make sure the emails won’t be considered as SPAM by incoming servers.
Patents
The 9-month combatant period for the United State Patent has been completed with zero refutes. This is a major milestone for our company as it demonstrates the strength and validity of our technology and its potential to revolutionize the industry.
According to the latest document on the European Patent Office (EPO) site, there was no notice of opposition to our European patent. This is a significant milestone for us as it validates the uniqueness and value of our invention.
Advisory Board
Just as the end of Q1 was near, we announced that Justin Goldston, Ph.D., has joined our team as an advisor.
Dr. Goldston brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to our organization, including a strong background in education, research, Web3 and blockchain. His main area of focus will be grants.
Dr. Goldston is a Professor at Penn State University where his research is focused on emerging technologies and sustainability to create positive global change.
He is a five-time TEDx speaker discussing technologies such as blockchain and AI, and has published several research papers in prestigious academic journals.

Also, he is an active member of several blockchain and web3 communities!

SHA Token Holders All Time High
Although the market is bearish, the Safe Haven (SHA) token has reached an all-time high of 11,076 holders, as reported by VechainStats website.
This achievement is a clear indication of the growing interest in our ecosystem and trust that our community has placed on us.

SafeNode Statistics
This quarter also marks the milestone of achieving growth in our Harbor Node, which has led to our Harbor staking pool to be expanded by 10%, up to 55M $SHA.
Fellow #SHAman, here's an update on our staking program!
As the staking period for March is about to end, we're happy to announce that the Harbor Pool size will be increased with 10%, up to 55M $SHA, starting tomorrow April 1st! (no joke!) 🧙♂️💜

SafeSwap Statistics
SafeSwap has already surpassed its first milestone of 1000 swaps in the first quarter of 2023 and has now reached over 1300 swaps. Given the current market conditions and the prospect of additional project listings, we are optimistic that SafeSwap’s activity will continue to increase. As a result, the rewards pool for SafeNode holders will likely see a substantial increase in utility rewards.
New DEX added for SHA trading
We’ve added an extra DEX to trade SHA tokens, namely VeRocket.
VeRocket is a VeChain native DEX and it offers the possibility to buy or swap $SHA tokens against VeChain tokens such as $VET, $VeUSD, $WOV, $MVG, $VSEA amongst others.

Paris Blockchain Week
Our CEO Jürgen attented the Paris Blockchain Week, where he was representing Safe Haven and SafeTech together with our partner, Magma.
Magma is an innovative project that has developed an online platform connecting buyers, sellers, and real estate agents in the U.S., offering unique 4-dimensional digital twins of buildings with all architectural and contractual documentation validated by stakeholders.
SafeTech, the development company behind Safe Haven, is working together with Magma, exploring new synergies and integrating Inheriti®, our digital inheritance product, to transfer ownership for the Digital Twins created through Magma.
Jürgen’s attendance at the Paris Blockchain Week was an exciting opportunity to learn from the brightest minds in the industry and share experiences and expertise.

MasterCard255 Conference
Our team member Andrej visited MasterCard’s conference about Web3. With 2 days conference, 300 VIP seats, 20+ internationally acclaimed speakers and 20+ project partners it was the ultimate blend of technology and sports at the “Mastercard 255 to the Moon Conference” in Planica, Slovenia.
This is not your typical conference: it’s a first of-a-kind event that combines talks about innovative technologies with the adrenaline rush of the Ski Jumping World Cup.
Here’s what our team member Andrej wanted to share with the community:
I had a chance to talk to industry leaders from around the globe. We discussed a range of topics, from the use of web3 tools in multiple systems to fintech and advanced payment technologies, all powered by Mastercard.
With confirmed speakers from renowned brands like Binance, Bitfinex Pay, OTP Bank, Revolut, GSIC powered by Microsoft, and the Ministry of Economic Development and Technology of the Republic of Slovenia, I gained valuable insights from experts who are at the forefront of their fields.
I enjoyed in the unique atmosphere of Planica with a direct view of the ski jumping world cup from the heart of the venue. I really enjoyed the competition’s excitement and discover the beauty of the Slovenian landscape.
