Account Update Management

Account Update Management allows authorized users to modify governance, identity, and participant structure of a multisignature (multisig) account. These updates help organizations adapt to operational changes, team restructuring, growth, or enhanced security needs. All updates are securely governed through the multisig approval process, ensuring that no single user can modify account governance unilaterally.


Change Account Name

Purpose

Allows updating the display name of the multisig account.

Details

  • This change is purely cosmetic

  • It does not affect security, signers, approvals, balances, or contract logic

  • Helps clearly identify accounts in environments managing multiple wallets

When Useful

  • Renaming for clarity or organization alignment

  • Reflecting new project names or ownership changes

  • Improving dashboard readability

Result

  • New name appears immediately after execution

  • Account identity becomes easier to recognize

  • No impact on functionality or governance


Change Weightage

Purpose

Modify the approval weight assigned to each signer within the multisig account.

Details

  • This is a critical governance function

  • Directly affects how approvals are counted

  • Changes the level of authority of each signer

  • Can rebalance organizational control

When Useful

  • Governance restructuring

  • Role promotion or responsibility changes

  • Risk management adjustments

  • Compliance and corporate policy evolution

Security Impact

  • Requires multisig approvals

  • Prevents unilateral power shifts

  • Ensures controlled governance realignment

Result

  • Updated weights apply immediately after execution

  • New approval distribution governs future transactions


Add Signer

Purpose

Add a new authorized participant to the multisig account.

Details

  • Expands the group of individuals managing the account

  • New signer may be assigned weight and incorporated into governance rules

Common Use Cases

  • Team expansion

  • New department or partner involvement

  • Organizational scaling

  • Compliance requirements demanding more oversight

Security Behavior

Remove Signer

Purpose

Safely remove an existing signer from the multisig account.

Details

  • Used when a signer should no longer participate in decision-making

Common Scenarios

  • Signer leaves the organization

  • Security risk or compromised wallet detected

  • Role restructuring or reassignment

Safety Enforcement

  • Requires multisig approvals before removal

  • System prevents governance from being weakened to zero or invalid state

Result

  • Signer is removed from the authorization list

  • No longer able to approve or execute transactions


Confirmation & Completion

Every account update must pass through the multisig approval workflow.
