Multisig clarification [SOLVED]

Tech Support
#1

I read in one of the nem docs (unable to dig up the link) where it mentioned that an account can be a signatory to maximum of 5 multisig accounts. Is this true?

If not, is there a maximum limit, or can an account be a signatory to unlimited multisig accounts?

Thanks.

It’s not true, I know address that is cosigner of over 70 accounts. @nevermined, @BloodyRookie do you know maximum limit?

#3

Only the number of cosignatories for a multisig account is limited in NIS:

MAX_ALLOWED_COSIGNATORIES_PER_ACCOUNT = 32

In catapult, you can configure it. Default values are rather low:

maxCosignersPerAccount = 10
maxCosignedAccountsPerAccount = 5

#4

Thanks for the information. I am looking at the maxCosignedAccountsPerAccount property - this is important for our project. Is there a maximum limit to this number or can we set it to anything we want?

#5

No limit enforced, though i think you should set it to a reasonable value. Just as a reminder, this is for Catapult only.

#6

Thanks @BloodyRookie. If we are using the current production Blockchain (and not Catapult), then the value of maxCosignedAccountsPerAccount is hardcoded to 5 and cannot be changed?

#7

no, max cosigner per account is hardcoded to 32:

MAX_ALLOWED_COSIGNATORIES_PER_ACCOUNT = 32

#8

And no limit for the number of accounts that a given account is cosignatory of.
