A single-key wallet has a single point of failure. Multi-signature changes that: no single key is enough to move your funds, and no single loss or theft is enough to end your security.

This one-hour introductory session covers the principles behind multi-signature wallet design: how quorums work, what tradeoffs different configurations create, and how time-based conditions can add another layer of control to your setup. It is designed for people who want to understand the approach before implementing it, and to know what to look for when they do.

Why you should participate

You will leave with a clear understanding of what multi-signature means in practice, how to think about quorum design for your specific situation, and what the implementation path looks like if you decide to take it further. This is an introduction to Gart's Digital Security Remote Training, a one-on-one service that walks you through the full setup at your own pace.

This is a live session with a Q&A at the end: bring your questions and your specific situation.
