  Multi sig, short for multi-signature, is a security feature used in digital currencies like Bitcoin. It requires multiple signatures from different parties to authorize a transaction. This adds an extra layer of security, as it prevents a single person or entity from having complete control over the funds. Each party involved in the transaction has their own private key, and a certain number of these keys must be used to sign the transaction before it can be executed. This helps protect against theft or unauthorized use of funds.

  Imagine multi sig as a digital safe deposit box. Instead of one person having the key to the box, multiple people have their own keys. To open the box and access the contents, a certain number of these keys must be used together. This ensures that no single person can access the contents without the cooperation of others. In the context of digital currencies, multi sig provides an additional layer of security by requiring multiple signatures to authorize transactions.
