Overview

The Shared Address Book is a cloud-based feature that allows all members of your Space to access and manage a common set of addresses. When you create or join a Space, you gain access to an address book that's automatically synchronized across all team members.

Key Benefits

Team Collaboration: Share frequently used addresses with your entire organization instantly
Always Up-to-Date: Changes made by any team member with the admin role are immediately visible to everyone
Multi-Chain Support: Store addresses that work across multiple blockchain networks
Better Organization: Keep all your important addresses in one secure, shared location

How It Works

Accessing Your Shared Address Book

Navigate to your Space
Open the Address Book section
All shared addresses will be displayed with their names and associated networks

Adding Addresses

Click "Add Address" in your Space's Address Book
Enter:
- Name: A descriptive label for the address
- Address: The wallet or contract address
- Networks: Select which blockchain networks this address is used on
Save the entry - it's immediately available to all Space members

Editing Addresses

Find the address you want to modify
Click the edit option
Update the name or network associations
Save changes - updates sync instantly across your team

Removing Addresses

Locate the address to remove
Click the delete option
Confirm the deletion
The address is removed for all Space members

Important Limitations

Maximum Addresses: Each Space can store up to 500 address book entries
Rate Limiting: You can add or update a maximum of 500 addresses within any 10-minute period
One Address Book per Space: Each Space has its own dedicated address book that cannot be merged with others

Best Practices

For Teams

Establish Naming Conventions: Agree on clear, consistent names for addresses (e.g., "Treasury Wallet - Mainnet" or "DeFi Operations - Polygon")
Regular Maintenance: Periodically review and remove outdated addresses
Add Descriptions: Use descriptive names that help team members understand the purpose of each address

When Setting Up

Import Existing Addresses: When creating a Space, consider adding addresses from your local storage
Organize by Function: Group related addresses with similar naming patterns
Document Critical Addresses: Mark or name essential addresses clearly (e.g., "CRITICAL: Main Treasury")

Security

Access Control: Only members of your Space can view and modify the shared address book
Secure Storage: All address book data is securely stored in the cloud
Authorization: Changes require proper authentication through your Safe account

🔐 Your organization's address data is protected through encryption at rest and in transit (HTTPS), with access restricted to authenticated Space members.

Our Production databases are secured behind VPN, and automated monitoring detects unauthorized changes.

As always we recommend teams verify addresses before high-value transactions and conduct regular reviews for accuracy. Only Space admins can modify entries, ensuring all changes are authorized and traceable.

Troubleshooting

Confirm you have the necessary permissions(admin) in the Space
