Treasury Multi-Sig
25-of-50. No Exceptions.

  • Every fund movement follows a 5-step process: Forum → Proposal → Snapshot vote → 48h timelock → 25-of-50 execution
Concept

What Is a Multi-Signature Wallet?

A multi-sig wallet replaces a single private key with a policy: M-of-N signatures required. No single party holds enough authority to act alone.

Single-sig wallet (standard)

One private key controls all funds. If that key is compromised, stolen, or the holder acts maliciously, all funds can be moved instantly — with no recourse.

Single point of failure

25-of-50 multi-sig (POTS)

25 independent signers must each approve independently. An attacker would need to simultaneously compromise 25 separate private keys — held by 25 different parties — to move funds.

No single point of failure

POTS uses Safe (formerly Gnosis Safe) — the industry-standard multi-sig wallet trusted by Uniswap, Aave, Compound, and hundreds of other DeFi protocols. All Safe transactions are on-chain and publicly verifiable.

Process

Five Steps Before Any Treasury Movement

No funds move without community consensus. Every treasury transaction follows this exact sequence — no shortcuts, no exceptions.

01
Forum Discussion · Minimum 3 Days

Community Discussion

All proposals begin as informal discussions on the POTS community forum. Minimum 3-day discussion period allows the community to identify issues, suggest improvements, and build consensus before a formal proposal is submitted.

02
Multi-sig Whitelist Required

Draft Proposal

Only addresses on the treasury multi-sig whitelist may submit formal proposals to Snapshot. This prevents governance spam and ensures proposals reaching the vote stage have passed an accountability filter before community voting begins.

03
Snapshot · 3-Day Window · 10% Quorum · >50% Yes

Community Vote

Voting is conducted gaslessly on Snapshot. Any address holding vIBS governance credentials may vote. A proposal passes when: at least 10% of total vIBS participates (quorum) and more than 50% of votes are Yes. Voting weight is proportional to vIBS balance at the snapshot block.

04
48-Hour Security Buffer

Timelock Delay

Passed proposals enter a 48-hour timelock before execution. This security buffer allows the community to identify and respond to any malicious or erroneous proposals that may have passed the vote — a critical last line of defense.

05
25-of-50 Safe Wallet

Multi-sig Execution

Treasury fund movements require 25 of 50 authorized signers to independently approve the transaction on Safe. Each signer acts independently — there is no coordination mechanism that can force or fake a signature. All approvals are recorded on-chain.

Scope

What Treasury Governance Covers

Multi-sig approval is required for three categories of treasury action. Protocol parameter changes and automated contract logic execute separately.

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What is a multi-sig treasury?
A multi-signature treasury requires a minimum number of designated signers to approve any transaction. POTS uses a 25-of-50 threshold: 25 out of 50 authorized signers must independently approve before any treasury fund movement executes. No single party can act alone.
02 Can the POTS team move treasury funds unilaterally?
No. Every treasury movement requires 25-of-50 multi-sig approval. No individual — including the founding team — holds sufficient signing authority to act alone. All treasury transactions are publicly visible on Safe.global before and after execution.
03 What is Safe and why does POTS use it?
Safe (formerly Gnosis Safe) is the industry-standard multi-signature wallet used by leading DeFi protocols including Uniswap, Aave, and Compound. It provides battle-tested multi-sig infrastructure with a transparent on-chain audit trail. POTS uses Safe deployed on BNB Smart Chain for the Safety Treasury.
04 What happens if a governance proposal passes but the multi-sig refuses to execute?
The governance design requires multi-sig signers to execute passed proposals. The community can hold signers accountable via Snapshot governance — including the ability to vote on signer replacement. The multi-sig threshold exists to prevent unilateral action, not to override community governance.
05 How can I verify the POTS treasury?
The Safety Treasury is publicly verifiable at 0x5BB0d5Cb2276a054d933B14D023A2063CF8F28Ce on BNB Smart Chain. View all current signers, pending transactions, and full transaction history directly on Safe.global or BSCScan — no permissions required.
