What Is A Multi-Sig Wallet? A Beginner’S Guide

Decrypt’s Art, Fashion, and Entertainment Hub. Discover SCENEImagine managing a million-dollar investment fund stored in a cryptocurrency wallet. Everything runs smoothly until a single mistake—clicking a phishing link, visiting a malicious website, or falling victim to an undiscovered exploit—allows hackers to drain the wallet. Just like that, the assets are gone forever.This nightmare scenario has played out in several high-profile crypto thefts, including the Japan-based exchange Coincheck in 2018, the Ronin Network in 2022, and most recently, the Bybit exchange in February 2025. While the causes of these breaches varied—ranging from private key compromises to smart contract exploits—they all underscore the importance of multiple security layers in Web3.One of these protections is the so-called “multi-sig wallet,” which requires more than one person’s signature, via their private key, to authorize a crypto transaction.A cryptocurrency wallet lets users store, send, and receive crypto by managing their private and public keys. When making a transaction, the user, via the wallet, signs it with a private key, proving ownership before broadcasting it to the blockchain for validation
