Controlled Multisigs

Understanding Config Authority with Squads

Using a Controlled Multisig is not recommended for most use-cases. Please understand the tradeoffs of having a valid Config Authority before choosing to use this setup.

What is a Controlled Multisig?

To put it simply, a Controlled Multisig is a multisig with a set Config Authority. This allows the set config authority to manipulate the config of the Squad without being subject to consensus, causing the set key to essentially function as an admin.

Why use a Config Authority?

Any setups that require a single admin for config changes are suited for a Controlled Multisig. If you are an organization that requires a C-level executive to have specific config control, then a controlled multisig may be in order.
