Settings proposals

Change multisig policy through governed proposals instead of ad hoc admin actions.

Settings proposals

Settings proposals modify the multisig itself. They should be treated as governance actions, not routine UI preferences.

Common settings changes

  • Add a member.
  • Remove a member.
  • Change member permissions.
  • Change total threshold.
  • Change post-quantum threshold.
  • Change timelock.
  • Rotate a signer identity.

Review checklist

  • Does the new threshold remain reachable?
  • Does pq_threshold match the number of PQ members?
  • Does removing a member strand pending proposals?
  • Does the change reduce signer diversity?
  • Does the timelock still match the treasury risk?

Logical flow

Settings changes follow the same proposal pattern: propose, approve, execute. The difference is the target state. A settings proposal changes future governance, so operators should review both the immediate action and its downstream effect.

Avoid unreachable policy

A threshold that cannot be satisfied can freeze governance. Check member count, permission count, and post-quantum member count before execution.
