Multi-signature wallets are digital asset wallets that require more than one private key to authorize a transaction. This security feature means that multiple individuals or devices must approve a transaction before it can be executed, providing enhanced security against single points of failure. For example, a “2 of 3” multi-sig wallet requires two out of three designated keys to sign off on a transaction. These wallets are commonly used by organizations, for joint accounts, or by individuals seeking additional security layers for their digital holdings.
Context

The ongoing development focuses on improving user experience and integrating multi-sig capabilities more seamlessly into various blockchain platforms. Their adoption is growing as security concerns for large digital asset holdings increase.
