#### Basic multisig example
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For a good example of a basic M-of-N multisig between multiple participants using descriptor
|
|
|
|
|
wallets and PSBTs, as well as a signing flow, see [this functional test](/test/functional/wallet_multisig_descriptor_psbt.py).
|
|
|
|
|
The basic steps are:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Every participant generates an xpub. The most straightforward way is to create a new descriptor wallet.
|
|
|
|
|
Avoid reusing this wallet for any other purpose. Hint: extract the wallet's xpubs using `listdescriptors`
|
|
|
|
|
and pick the one from the `pkh` descriptor since it's least likely to be accidentally reused (legacy addresses)
|
|
|
|
|
2. Create a watch-only descriptor wallet (blank, private keys disabled). Now the multisig is created by importing the two descriptors:
|
|
|
|
|
`wsh(sortedmulti(<M>,XPUB1/0/*,XPUB2/0/*,…,XPUBN/0/*))` and `wsh(sortedmulti(<M>,XPUB1/1/*,XPUB2/1/*,…,XPUBN/1/*))`
|
|
|
|
|
(one descriptor w/ `0` for receiving addresses and another w/ `1` for change). Every participant does this
|
|
|
|
|
3. A receiving address is generated for the multisig. As a check to ensure step 2 was done correctly, every participant
|
|
|
|
|
should verify they get the same addresses
|
|
|
|
|
4. Funds are sent to the resulting address
|
|
|
|
|
5. A sending transaction is created using `walletcreatefundedpsbt` (anyone can initiate this). It is simple to do this in
|
|
|
|
|
the GUI by going to the `Send` tab in the multisig wallet and creating an unsigned transaction (PSBT)
|
|
|
|
|
6. At least `M` users check the PSBT with `decodepsbt` and (if OK) signs it with `walletprocesspsbt`. It is simple to do
|
|
|
|
|
this in the GUI by Loading the PSBT from file and signing it
|
|
|
|
|
7. The signed PSBTs are collected with `combinepsbt`, finalized w/ `finalizepsbt`, and
|
|
|
|
|
then the resulting transaction is broadcasted to the network
|
|
|
|
|
8. Checks that balances are correct after the transaction has been included in a block
|
|
|
|
|

|

|
|
[The test](/test/functional/wallet_multisig_descriptor_psbt.py) is meant to be documentation as much as it is a functional test, so
|
|
|
|
|
it is kept as simple and readable as possible.
