# Create Multisig

{% hint style="warning" %}
Be sure to use `multisigCreateV2`, rather than the deprecated `multisigCreate`
{% endhint %}

This instruction will create a Multisig account with the necessary fields. This instruction requires that both the `creator` of the multisig, and the `createKey` be signers.

## Example

<pre class="language-typescript"><code class="lang-typescript">import * as multisig from "@sqds/multisig";
import { Connection, Keypair } from "@solana/web3.js";

// Defines permissions enum
const { Permission, Permissions } = multisig.types;

async function main() {
<strong>    // Cluster Connection
</strong><strong>    // Required argument if you use the .rpc method
</strong>    const connection = new Connection("&#x3C; your rpc here >");
    
    // Random Public Key that will be used to derive a multisig PDA
    // This will need to be a signer on the transaction
    const createKey = Keypair.generate().publicKey;
    
    // Creator should be a Keypair or a Wallet Adapter wallet
    const creator = Keypair.generate();
    
    // Derive the multisig PDA
    const [multisigPda] = multisig.getMultisigPda({
        createKey,
    });
    
    const programConfigPda = multisig.getProgramConfigPda({})[0];

    const programConfig =
        await multisig.accounts.ProgramConfig.fromAccountAddress(
          connection,
          programConfigPda
        );

    const configTreasury = programConfig.treasury;
    
    const ix = await multisig.instructions.multisigCreateV2({
        // Must sign the transaction, unless the .rpc method is used.
        createKey: createKey.publicKey,
        // The creator &#x26; fee payer
        creator: creator.publicKey,
        // The PDA of the multisig you are creating, derived by a random PublicKey
        multisigPda,
        // Here the config authority will be the system program
        configAuthority: null,
        // Create without any time-lock
        timeLock: 0,
        // List of the members to add to the multisig
        members: [{
                // Members Public Key
                key: creator.publicKey,
                // Granted Proposer, Voter, and Executor permissions
                permissions: Permissions.all(),
            },
            {
                key: secondMember.publicKey,
                // Member can only add votes to proposed transactions
                permissions: Permissions.fromPermissions([Permission.Vote]),
            },
        ],
        // This means that there needs to be 2 votes for a transaction proposal to be approved
        threshold: 2,
        // This is for the program config treasury account
        treasury: configTreasury,
        // Rent reclaim account
        rentCollector: null
    });
    
    console.log("Multisig created: ", signature)
}
</code></pre>

### Notes

* Must specify permissions upfront for each member
* Only specify a `configAuthority` if you want one admin key to be able to override all config
* `createKey` must be a signer if using methods other than `.rpc`
