"<p>Mini guide on multisig with <a href=\"https://interstellar.exchange\" rel=\" nofollow ugc\">Interstellar</a>.</p>\n\n<p>Stellar itself has more advanced multisig features, but this guide is limited to what is possible inside the Interstellar app.</p>\n\n\n<h1>Multisig</h1>\n\n<p><img src=\"https://i.imgur.com/9V1YhbU.png\" alt=\"Multisig Account\"></p>\n\n<p>Multisig is a great way to secure your account from theft and loss, by requiring multiple signatures to approve any transaction.</p>\n\n<p>Multisig accounts on Interstellar follow the <strong>M of N</strong> pattern:</p>\n\n<ul><li><strong>M</strong> represents the minimum number of signers required to validate a transaction.</li>\n<li><strong>N</strong> represents the total number of signers available to validate a transaction.</li></ul>\n\n<p>E.g a 2 of 3 multisig account means you have 3 available signers, but only two are required to validate a transaction. A multisig account doesn't need permission to accept funds 🙂.</p>\n\n<h2>Best Practices</h2>\n\n<p>By default, Interstellar accounts don't have multisig. This might be dangerous for companies or holders of large funds. If your private key gets lost or stolen, you lose all funds.</p> \n\n<p><strong>1 of 2</strong> multisig accounts are not generally recommended. They will reduce the risk of loss, but will unfortunately increase the risk of theft. If one of the signers has his/her key stolen, the attacker can gain control of the account.</p>\n\n<p><strong>2 of 2</strong> multisig accounts are not generally recommended. They will reduce the risk of theft, but will unfortunately also increase the risk of loss. If one of the signers loses his/her key, the account will be locked forever.</p>\n\n<p><strong>2 of 3</strong> multisig accounts are recommended. They will reduce the risk of theft and also reduce the risk of loss. If one of the signers loses his/her key, the other two signers can continue signing and even replace the lost key with a new key.</p>\n\n<p>In general, we recommend (N/2 + 1 ):N multisig accounts. That is, just a little bit above half of the available signers should be required.</p>  \n\n<h2>Setup Multisig Accounts</h2>\n\n<p><img src=\"https://i.imgur.com/j5q19Ua.png\" alt=\"Setup Multisig\"></p>\n\n<p>To set up a multisig account:</p>\n\n<ul><li>Click on the hamburger menu on the top left.</li>\n<li>Select <strong>Multisig</strong></li>\n<li>Select the account you want to transform to multisig.</li>\n<li>Input the number of required signatures.</li>\n<li>Input the number of available signature.</li>\n<li>Input the public keys of the signers.</li>\n<li>And you're done.</li></ul>\n\n\n<h2>Multisig Transactions</h2>\n\n<p><img src=\"https://i.imgur.com/dsCY42J.png\" alt=\"Multisig Transactions\"></p>\n\n\n<p>Transactions on a multisig account are done the same you'd perform any normal operation.</p>\n\n<p>For example, to send funds from a multisig account to any another account, simply go to the send form and input the destination's address.</p>\n\n<p>The difference however, is that your transactions don't confirm immediately. Instead, each of the available signers are notified that they have pending transactions to sign.</p> \n\n<p>Multisig notifications appear in red on the top right corner of the screen. When you click on a multisig notification, you will see the list of pending requests available for you to sign.The signers are then given a choice to either accept or reject the transaction.</p> \n\n<p>Suppose you had a 2 of 3 multisig account. If 1 signer rejected the transaction, and 2 users accepted the transaction, the transaction will still be validated.</p>\n"
