Safe_RecoverTokens

Safe_RecoverTokens is a maintenance mandate that recovers ERC20 tokens held by the Powers contract itself and transfers them to the designated Safe Treasury.

Overview

Sometimes, tokens may be accidentally sent to the Powers contract address instead of the Treasury, or accumulate there due to other operations. This mandate provides a mechanism to sweep these assets into the secure Treasury.

It leverages the Safe Allowance Module to identify which tokens are “known” or relevant to the organization and checks the Powers contract’s balance for each.

Configuration

When adopting a Safe_RecoverTokens instance, the following parameters are required:

1. safeTreasury (address): The address of the Gnosis Safe Treasury where tokens should be sent.
2. allowanceModule (address): The address of the Allowance Module, used as a source of truth for which tokens to check.

Usage

Proposing an Action

This mandate does not require any input parameters (mandateCalldata is unused for logic). It automatically scans for balances.

Execution Flow

1. Token Discovery

   • Queries the allowanceModule to get the list of allowed tokens for the Powers contract (acting as a delegate).
   • This acts as a filter to check only relevant tokens.

2. Balance Check

   • Iterates through the list of tokens.
   • Checks the balance of each token held by the Powers contract.

3. Recovery

   • For every token with a positive balance, generates a call to IERC20.transfer.
   • Transfers the entire balance to the safeTreasury.
   • Returns the batch of transfer calls for execution.
