Summary
In traditional business, «key person risk» refers to when a company relies too much on one
individual. Cryptocurrency businesses are prone to a very literal version of this risk when
handling funds.
To solve this issue MultiSig cryptocurrency wallets offer a built-in way to manage this sort of
risk. Therefore, we propose to create a MultiSig wallet for the Azuro DAO treasury which will
require 4-of-7 signatures to approve a transaction unless other rules and regulations are set and
voted on by the DAO members (for example several categories of transactions or contracts).
Abstract
A MultiSig wallet is a digital wallet that operates with multisignature addresses. This means that
it requires more than one private key to sign and authorize a crypto transaction or, in some cases,
that several different keys can be used to generate a signature.
The Azuro DAO will have its own funds which should be distributed and used in the interest of
the DAO and voted on by its members. To ensure the safety and transparency of the received
funds the best way to control this process would be by setting up a MultiSig cryptocurrency
wallet for the Azuro DAO treasury where its funds are going to be located.
It is possible to choose how many keys are allowed to open the vault as well as the minimum
number of keys needed to unlock it (e.g., you could have a 2-of-3 Multisig where two out of
three assigned private keys are needed, 3-of-5, 5-of-7, etc.)
In our opinion the most optimal would be 4-of-7 signatures required to unlock the funds located
on the wallet. Other rules and signatures for specific transfers can be set and voted on by the
DAO members in separate proposals (for example setting 1-of-7 for certain transactions).
