Get started with a Squads multisig

Install the package, configure the member, then inspect the multisig and vault. See Need Help for support.

Prerequisites: Node.js with ESM, npm, a Solana RPC endpoint, a deployed Squads multisig, and the seed/path of one of its members. Fund the member for transaction fees and rent before using write operations.

Install the Package

Install the exact package used in these guides:

npm install --save-exact @tetherto/wdk-wallet-multisig-squads@1.0.0-beta.2

Configure the Member

1. Supply the RPC URL and agreed multisig address from application configuration.
2. Load the member seed from secret storage.
3. Derive the member's known Solana path with WalletManagerMultisigSquads.

Save this setup as squads-account.mjs:

import WalletManagerMultisigSquads from '@tetherto/wdk-wallet-multisig-squads'

export function requiredEnv(name) {
  const value = process.env[name]
  if (!value) throw new Error(`Missing ${name}`)
  return value
}

export const config = {
  provider: requiredEnv('SOLANA_RPC_URL'),
  multisigPdaOrCreateKey: requiredEnv('MULTISIG_ADDRESS'),
  commitment: 'confirmed'
}
export const wallet = new WalletManagerMultisigSquads(
  requiredEnv('WDK_SEED_PHRASE'), config
)
export const account = await wallet.getAccountByPath("0'/0'")

This relative path derives m/44'/501'/0'/0'. Change it to the path that actually controls the member address. The Node environment example is not a requirement to store browser secrets in environment files.

Inspect the Multisig and Vault

Use getAddress(), getSignerAddress() and getVaultAddress() to identify all three addresses:

import { account } from './squads-account.mjs'

console.log('Multisig configuration:', await account.getAddress())
console.log('Member signer:', await account.getSignerAddress())
console.log('Vault 0:', await account.getVaultAddress())
console.log('Members and permissions:', await account.getMultisigInfo())
console.log('Vault balance in lamports:', await account.getBalance())

The expected result is your agreed multisig, member and vault. owners and masks from getMultisigInfo() align by array index. Verify the member has the permission required for your next action; deriving a signer does not make it a member. Fund the vault for payments, not the multisig configuration address.
