Multisig Explained

How 2-of-2 multisignature actually works in SSP — and why it matters.

Multisig wallets require multiple signatures to authorize a transaction. SSP enforces 2-of-2 on every signed action: the browser extension and the mobile SSP Key app must both approve. This page collects the deep-dives that explain how the model works, what attacks it stops, and where its limits sit.

What is 2-of-2 multisig?

2-of-2 multisig splits the keys to your wallet across two devices so no single seed, screen, or signature can move your coins alone.
