Multisig Wallet

The multisig feature in PAW Wallet offers a sophisticated solution for managing digital assets with enhanced security and collaborative control. By requiring the involvement of 5 to 9 participants, PAW Wallet ensures that high-value transactions are safeguarded against unauthorized access and single points of failure. This feature is particularly beneficial for organizations, businesses, and collaborative projects that require shared management and joint decision-making. Through its flexible configuration and robust approval processes, the multisig feature in PAW Wallet empowers users by allowing greater security, accountability, and control over their digital assets.

Setting Up a Multisig Wallet

Initial Setup: Selection of Participants: To convert a standard wallet to a multisig wallet, the user must select between 5 to 9 trusted individuals who will act as signatories.

       
  • Configuration: The user configures the wallet, specifying the total number of signatories and the minimum number of approvals required for a transaction to be executed (e.g., 3 out of 5, 5 out of 7).
  •    
  • Creation Process: Invitation to Signatories: The selected participants are invited to join the multisig wallet. Each participant must accept the invitation and link their wallet address.
  •    
  • Confirmation: Once all participants have joined, the multisig wallet is activated and ready for use.

Transaction Approval Process

Initiating a Transaction: Proposal: Any signatory can propose a transaction by specifying the details of the transaction, including the amount, recipient, and purpose.

       
  • Notification: All signatories are notified of the proposed transaction and can review the details.
  •    
  • Approval and Execution: Approval Process: The required number of signatories must approve the transaction. Each signatory reviews and signs off on the transaction within the PAW Wallet application.
  •    
  • Threshold Achievement: Once the necessary threshold of approvals is reached (e.g., 4 out of 5), the transaction is executed on the PAW Chain network.
  •    
  • Rejection and Revision: If the transaction does not receive the required approvals, it can be revised and resubmitted or rejected entirely.

Flexibility and Control

       
  • Changing Signatories: Addition/Removal: Signatories can be added or removed as needed, allowing for flexible management of the multisig wallet. Changes must be approved by the existing signatories.
  •    
  • Updating Approval Threshold: The number of required approvals can be adjusted to reflect the current needs and security preferences of the group.

Emergency Protocols

Backup Procedures: In case a signatory becomes unavailable, the wallet can implement backup procedures to ensure continuous operation and control over the funds.
