Before setting up multisig
- Decide who needs approval authority and why.
- Verify each signer address through an independent channel.
- Choose a threshold that balances security with the ability to operate when someone is unavailable.
- Document a recovery and signer-replacement process before an emergency occurs.
For every transaction
- Review the recipient, asset, amount, and network in your own wallet.
- Check the purpose with the other signers; do not approve a vague request.
- Confirm you are signing the intended transaction, not a permission change or token approval.
- Keep a record of important treasury and permission actions.
For permission changes
Permission changes can alter the future security of the account. Require independent review from the people affected by the change, and compare the signer addresses, weights, thresholds, and allowed operations against an agreed plan. If anything is unclear, stop rather than using a rushed approval to solve an access problem.
What multisig does not protect against
Multisig cannot make a malicious transaction safe, restore a leaked seed phrase, or compensate for signers who approve without checking details. It is a control mechanism, not a substitute for device security, secure backups, clear communication, and transaction review.
Common questions
Should a multisig signer share a seed phrase with the team?
No. Each signer should keep their own credentials private. A shared seed phrase defeats the independent-control benefit that multisig is intended to create.
What should happen if a signer loses access?
Follow the recovery plan you prepared in advance. Do not improvise by disclosing credentials or approving an unclear permission change.
