# Multi-Signature DAO (Multi-sig)

## Creating a Multi-Signature DAO <a href="#creating-a-multi-signature-dao" id="creating-a-multi-signature-dao"></a>

Multi-sig DAOs are ideal for **small teams**, **treasuries**, or situations where you need a specific group of **trusted individuals** to approve all decisions.

### Prerequisites <a href="#prerequisites" id="prerequisites"></a>

Before creating your Multi-Signature DAO:

* **Solana wallet** with at least **2 SOL (or 2.5 SOL for initial DAO metadata)** + network fees
* **List of signers** with their wallet addresses
* **Clear agreement** on signing thresholds and responsibilities

{% step %}

### Start Multi-Sig Creation <a href="#step-1---start-multi-sig-creation" id="step-1---start-multi-sig-creation"></a>

Navigate to [**Realms**](https://v2.realms.today/) and click **Create DAO**, then select **Create Multisig**.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Basic Configuration <a href="#step-2---basic-configuration" id="step-2---basic-configuration"></a>

Enter your multi-sig DAO details:

* **DAO Name**: Choose a descriptive name for your organization
* **Description**: Explain the purpose and scope of the multi-sig
* **DAO Image**: 1mb Max 512x512px
* **DAO Banner**: 2mb Max 1200x400px
* **Category**: DeFi, Social, Web3, NFT, Gaming, Legal, Other
* **Socials Links**: Website, Twitter, Discord
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Signer Setup <a href="#step-3---signer-setup" id="step-3---signer-setup"></a>

Add the wallet addresses that will be signers:

* **Primary Signers**: Core team members who can approve transactions
* **Verification**: Double-check all wallet addresses are correct
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Review Settings <a href="#step-7---review-settings" id="step-7---review-settings"></a>

Review all your DAO configuration before deployment:

* Verify all parameters are correct
* Ensure treasury settings are appropriate
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Advanced Configuration (Optional) <a href="#step-4---voting-configuration" id="step-4---voting-configuration"></a>

Custom set up voting parameters:

* **Max Voting Time**: How long members have to vote
* **Cool-off Period**: Duration after the voting ends during which the vote can only be removed or voted *NO*
* **Approval Quorum**: Percentage of total supply needed to pass proposals
* **Treasury**: Amount of initial treasuries upon creation
  {% endstep %}
  {% endstepper %}

{% hint style="danger" %}
**Critical**: Losing access to enough signer wallets can permanently lock your multi-sig.\
\
Always maintain secure backups and recovery procedures.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Security Note**: Never store all signing keys in the same location or with the same person.\
\
Distribute risk across multiple trusted parties.
{% endhint %}
