Multi-Sig Approval Exposure: Hidden Risks in Shared Wallets
Shared wallets reduce single-point failure, but misconfigured roles and approvals can create silent transfer risks.
Multi-signature wallets are safer, yet approval chains can still be abused.
Unclear operator roles and outdated approvals often cause preventable losses.
- -Review signer roles quarterly
- -Limit delegate approvals
- -Track cross-wallet approval chains
Where exposure happens
Delegated signers or old dApps may keep permissions longer than intended.
Attackers target the weakest signer rather than the whole group.
Hardening multi-sig setups
Enforce signer rotation and revoke unused delegate permissions.
Document approval policies and alert on abnormal signer activity.
