Multisignature (multisig)

Also known as: multi-sig · M-of-N

Authorization requiring M-of-N keys—improves operational security, not post-quantum math by itself.

Definition

Multisig wallets require multiple signatures before funds move. That raises the bar for classical key compromise of a single device.

If each key is still ECDSA/Ed25519, a CRQC that breaks those schemes can still threaten the set—multisig is not a substitute for PQC algorithms.
