Hive Multisig is live!

Hive Multisig is finally live at this address!
If you don't know what Hive Multisig is, I encourage you to read this article.

/!\ Do not play with the Update Account section and update your weights and thresholds if you don't know what you are doing ;)

Hive Multisig in action

Using this dApp you can update your account keys, initiate multisig transactions, and receive multisig transactions initiated by another user.

In the video below, I am connecting on two different accounts (Hive account@stoodkev and Hive account@lecaillon), knowing that Hive account@lecaillon account has a threshold of 2 on its active key, and that Hive account@stoodkev has authority over it with a weight of 1. This means that Hive account@lecaillon needs to sign and also obtain Hive account@stoodkev signature to perform an active authority operation (here a transfer)

This is how it goes:

• Both accounts login to the service (you can see two signatures for each because we register both the posting and active key).
• Hive account@lecaillon initiates a transfer
• Hive account@lecaillon signs the transfer
• Hive account@lecaillon encodes the operation for other potential signers
• As a potential signer, Hive account@stoodkev immediately receives the signature request
• Hive account@stoodkev decodes the signature request
• Hive account@stoodkev agrees with the transfer and thus, signs it
• The backend acknowledges that there are enough signatures and notify Hive account@stoodkev that he can broadcast the transfer
• The transfer is broadcasted successfully

Repositories

Of course, all this work is opensource and can be found on our Github:

• Frontend
• Backend
• SDK

Going further

We now have a workable Beta but there is still much that can be done to make this better.
In the coming month we will focus on :

• SDK Documentation: So that dApps can easily use the SDK to perform multisig requests
• Gathering user feedback and making the necessary changes

More long-term goals include :

• Decentralizing the multisig backend
• Providing multisig bots, to give more granularity to Hive keys (more on that later)
• DevOps work to get a more robust architecture
