These milestones were under discussion for the past year and concluded with a DAO vote on April 15.<\/p>\n<p>There are a total of 8.25 million Safes created while total-value locked in its wallets totals almost $100 billion, according to <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/dune.com\/safe\">data<\/a> queried on Dune Analytics.
