Multisig — "multi-signature" — means a wallet or transaction requires more than one private key to authorize. A typical setup is 2-of-3: three key holders, any two must sign before funds move or a transaction executes. Why it matters Multisig removes the single point of failure. A project treasury, a DAO, or an individual can structure it so no one person can steal or freeze funds and no single lost key locks everyone out. It's the standard way serious protocols secure their treasuries. Related terms wallet · smart contract · governance
