Send multi-sig transactions in Tron using TronScan
If you don’t have a multi-sig yet you can see this tutorial to create it . This is a step by step guide using Shasta Tron Testnet so you can play around.
If you need a faucet to get TRX in Shasta go to the Tron Developers Discord and in the #faucet channel write
!shasta <your address>to get 5000 TRX
Step 1: Go to TronScan and connect your TronLink wallet by clicking on the Connect Wallet button
Step2: Once you are connected click on your address, you’ll see the following popup, click on Multi-Signature Transfer
Step3: Now you will see a modal window where you have to fill all of the transfer information.
- Accounts under Control: It’s a drop down of the permissioned accounts we can use. We need to complete this first or the other dropdowns won’t show the correct information
- Receiving Account: Account that will receive the tokens
- Token: The token that we will transfer, it can be a TRC10 like TRX or a TRC20 like USDT
- Amount: Amount of tokens that we will transfer
- Permissions: The permission that we are going to use for this operation, it can be owner, active or witness. Most of the times it’s active.
- It will show us the accounts involved (without the owner) and the weight
If we scroll down a bit more we will see
- Expiration Time: After this time the signature will no longer be valid and the other user’s won’t be able to broadcast this transaction
- Add note to this transfer: It’s a note that will be shown to other users when seeing this transaction
Step 4: Once you are ready click on Multisig Transfer. It will show you the TronLink popup to sign the transaction, if everything works correctly it will show a success modal window.
Step 5: Click on your address again, and in the popup click Asset Management
Step 6: Select Multisig Transactions. You will se the transactions of the multisig the current state, who has signed and time remaining before it expires. Inform the other parties that the transaction is ready for them to sign
Step 7: They should enter to the same screen https://shasta.tronscan.io/#/wallet/multiSignature and will see the transaction in status Pending
Step 8: They should sign the transaction. Once they do that you’ll see in your wallet the transaction with status Successful and you can view the details and the On Chain Transaction
The multi-sig transactions will cost 1 TRX and 100 more Bandwith than a regular one, but is a small price to pay to have a permissioned account.
That’s it! hope you liked this tutorial!
