Security Layer Integration
Multi-signature (Multisig)
Multi-signature (Multisig) is a security measure where multiple parties must approve a transaction or action before it is executed. This enhances the security and trustworthiness of transactions within the network.
The Smart Node Network implements two distinct types of multi-signature (multisig) mechanisms to ensure security, decentralization, and efficient network operation:
Off-chain DKG-based Multisig
On-chain Hashgraph Native Multisig
Dual-Layer Security Model (Overview)
The Smart Node Network implements a unique dual-layer security approach:
Primary Security Layer (DKG)
Off-chain DKG consensus must be reached first
Requires threshold signature from DKG participants
Acts as a preliminary security gate
Secondary Security Layer (Hashgraph)
On-chain Hashgraph multisig executes only after DKG threshold is met
Provides additional security verification
Ensures network-level consensus
