What is a Multi-Sig Wallet?
A Multi-Signature (Multi-Sig) wallet requires two or more private keys to approve a transaction. It’s like needing multiple people to unlock a safe.
Why Use a Multi-Sig Wallet?
- Added Security: Prevents a single point of failure (even if one key is lost or compromised).
- Team/Group Use: Ideal for DAOs, companies, or families managing crypto together.
- Reduced Risk: No single person can run away with the funds.
How It Works
Example: A 2-of-3 Multi-Sig Wallet means 3 keys exist, and at least 2 are needed to approve a transaction.
Real-World Analogy
Imagine a bank vault that requires two out of three managers to turn their keys at the same time to open it. No single person can access the funds alone — that’s Multi-Sig in crypto.
