🔗 Multisig Wallets Guide
Understanding and using multi-signature wallets for enhanced security.
How Multisig Works
Multisignature (multisig) escrow requires two of three parties — buyer, vendor, and market — to sign a transaction before funds can be released. This eliminates the risk of market exit scams because the market alone cannot steal the escrowed funds. In a standard 2-of-3 multisig setup, the buyer and vendor can complete the transaction without market involvement, while either party can involve the market as a mediator for disputes.
Setup Process
To use multisig on TorZon Market, go to Account Settings → Payment → Enable Multisig. You will need a Bitcoin wallet that supports multisig (Electrum is recommended). During setup, the market generates a multisig address derived from the buyer public key, vendor public key, and market public key. Each order creates a unique multisig address. Deposit the exact order amount to this address and wait for blockchain confirmation.
Using Multisig
When finalizing a multisig order, you sign the release transaction with your private key, and the vendor co-signs with theirs — two of three signatures are met and funds are released. For disputes, you sign a refund transaction and the market moderator co-signs after reviewing evidence. Never share your private key — you only share the signed transaction. Multisig adds complexity but provides the highest level of fund security available on any darknet market.
