Members and permissions

Understand signer identities, member permissions, and safe rotation practices.

Members and permissions

Members are the human or system authorities behind a multisig. Each member has an identity scheme and a set of permissions.

Member identity types

SchemeTypical reason to use
Ed25519Solana-native operators, fee payers, and continuity with existing wallets.
Secp256k1EVM-native council members or cross-chain governance participants.
Falcon-512Repeated compact post-quantum approvals.
WinternitzHash-based post-quantum approval with one-time state discipline.

Permission model

Permissions can separate operational roles:

  • Initiate: create proposals.
  • Vote: approve or reject proposals.
  • Execute: submit approved actions.
  • Settings: participate in governance changes where required by policy.

Rotation practices

Rotate members through settings proposals rather than creating a new vault. The goal is stable governed addresses with changing signer policy.

Non-member viewing

The app may display a multisig to a connected wallet that is not a member. Non-members can inspect public state but should not see action controls that require member authority.
