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:

  1. Off-chain DKG-based Multisig

  2. 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
