### Vault and Multisig Address

When creating a Squad, a Program Derived Address (PDA) is created with specific details such as members, threshold, and more. This PDA's address is the **multisig account address**, owned by the Squad program and used exclusively for Squad detection.

**The Squad Vault** and Sub-accounts are PDAs derived from the multisig account address. Unlike the Squad's PDA, they aren't owned by the program, allowing them to function as classic wallets for sending and receiving funds.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**DO NOT** set the Multisig Account address as an authority of your programs nor send any kind of assets to it.

**ONLY** the Squad Vault address should be set as the owner of your assets/authorities. The Multisig Account address is used solely for CLI settings commands.&#x20;

Sending assets or setting authority to the Multisig Account address will cause irreversible loss of funds/assets.
{% endhint %}

### **Threshold Parameter**

The confirmation threshold is crucial for securing assets within a Squad. It represents the number of Squad members required to confirm before executing a transaction.

When configuring the confirmation threshold for a Squad:

* Avoid setting it at 1/n signatures, as this creates a single point of failure.
* Avoid setting it at maximum capacity (e.g., 2/2, 3/3) to prevent potential loss of access.

To adjust the confirmation threshold:

1. Navigate to the "Settings" tab.
2. Click on the threshold icon, set the new threshold, and launch a transaction.
3. The threshold will change upon transaction execution.

Only members with "Voter" permission count towards the threshold parameter.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Changing the confirmation threshold will cancel all "Active" and "Ready" transactions in a Squad for security reasons. Complete these transactions before changing the threshold to avoid issues.
