Delay Modifier: Operator Tutorial

Get started

About the Zodiac Delay Modifier

This modifier allows avatars (accounts) to enforce a time delay between when a module initiates a transaction and when it can be executed by an avatar.

This tutorial is for DAO Operators using the Zodiac App interface. For a more technical guide on how to use the Delay Modifier beyond the Zodiac App interface, see the Github repo DAO Developers Setup Guide.

Set Up a Gnosis Safe

If you've already set up a Gnosis Safe you'd like to use for this tutorial, skip to the next step below.

If you have not set up a Gnosis Safe, check out the Gnosis Safe Help Center. The Create a Safe tutorial will walk you through the full process of creating a new Gnosis Safe account in just 60 seconds.

Note that, for the purposes of this tutorial, we'll be using a Gnosis Safe deployed on the Rinkeby test network. You can create a Gnosis Safe on Rinkeby.

Navigate to the Zodiac App

Confirm the transaction with your web3 wallet that is a signer on the Gnosis Safe.
