Multisignature
Multisignature (also multi-signature or multisig) is a digital signature scheme which allows a group of users to sign a single document. Usually, a multisignature algorithm produces a joint signature that is more compact than a collection of distinct signatures from all users.[1]
Multisignature adds additional security for cryptocurrency transactions. Multisig crypto wallets require all parties involved in the creation of this type of wallet to agree before any transaction can occur.
