Hive Keychain v3.1 : Multisig
• keychain
Multisig allows accounts to request more than one signature for a transaction to be accepted by the blockchain
v3.1 is bringing multisig to Keychain!
## How it works
Multisig allows accounts to request more than one signature for a transaction to be accepted by the blockchain. It is a powerful tool for security and shared use of accounts, among other things.
Hive Multisig has been created as a way to easily bridge the several potential signers by a system of WebSockets.
Hive Multisig is now available within Keychain, to make multisig transactions even easier.
## Initiating multisig transactions
Keychain detects automatically if a transaction requires additional signatures and disclaims that it will use Hive Multisig for the process. This works both for transactions within the Keychain popup and dApp requests.

## Receiving and signing multisig transactions
To listen to multisig transactions, go to User preferences > Multisig, and enable it for the required authorities.
Accounts listening for the transaction will immediately receive a request to sign the transaction, and will be notified once enough signatures have been collected and the transaction has been successfully broadcasted.

*PS: There is a missing introduction text in the multisig settings, it is fixed already but still under review.*
