Create a multisig

Choose members, thresholds, timelocks, and post-quantum policy for a new Quorum multisig.

Create a multisig

Creating a multisig establishes the governed account, initial members, threshold rules, and optional timelock. The address is intended to remain stable while the membership evolves through later settings proposals.

Creation checklist

  1. Name the multisig for local operator clarity.
  2. Select the fee payer.
  3. Add initial members.
  4. Assign member permissions.
  5. Set threshold.
  6. Set pq_threshold.
  7. Set a timelock if high-value actions should wait before execution.
  8. Review the final member and policy summary.

Member identities

Each member row points to one identity:

  • Ed25519 for Solana-native continuity.
  • Secp256k1 for EVM-compatible signers.
  • Falcon-512 for compact recurring post-quantum approval.
  • Winternitz for hash-based one-time approval.

Thresholds

threshold is the total number of approvals required. pq_threshold is the number of approvals that must come from Falcon or Winternitz members. pq_threshold cannot be greater than the number of available post-quantum members or greater than the total threshold.

Initial policy examples

PolicyGood for
1-of-1 FalconPersonal test vaults and simple devnet demos.
2-of-3 Ed25519/Falcon mixTeams learning PQ approval without losing classical continuity.
3-of-5 including 1 PQTreasuries starting staged migration.
3-of-5 including 2 PQStronger policies after operators are comfortable.
Keep demos separate

Do not use production seed phrases or production custody keys while the app is in devnet mode.
