#### ➱ Configure the Vault Name

Enter a name for your Vault, such as TEST, and click **Next**.&#x20;

{% hint style="warning" %}

* Only alphanumeric characters and hyphens allowed.
* The Vault name cannot be changed after the Vault is created.
  {% endhint %}

#### ➱ Add co-owners

Add the **Zcash transparent addresses** (starting from **t...**) of the co-owners to the wallet configuration. Ensure that each co-owner provides you with their valid Zcash transparent address.&#x20;

Enter the address in the field and click **Save**.&#x20;

Or choose one of previously created contacts from your address book by clicking on the icon.

#### ➱ **Set the confirmation threshold**

Define the minimum number of confirmations required to authorize a transaction and click **Next**.&#x20;

This number should be less than or equal to the total number of co-owners. You can set the policy to 1 of 1, 2 of 3, 3 of 5, or any other combination that fits your needs.

{% hint style="info" %}
It is not recommended setting a threshold that requires all signers. For optimal Vault safety, there should always be at least one signer who is not required to approve every transaction.
{% endhint %}

<figure><img src="https://254144762-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FLmUskow6Yg0G4jQRE0Lf%2Fuploads%2FUAO3rbV09wTuyL7MqfIT%2FScreenshot%202025-12-04%20at%2014.38.40.png?alt=media&amp;token=92911e77-226f-4388-a61f-8e47fd8976a2" alt="" width="375"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

#### ➱  Review and create your Vault

After setting the owners and policy, review your Vault configuration. Once you're satisfied, click **Create** to initialize the multisig creation on the Zcash blockchain. The creation process may take a few moments.&#x20;

{% hint style="warning" %}
Vault owners and the confirmation threshold cannot be changed after the Vault is created.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="danger" %}
**Vault with identical parameters (same number of signers, identical signer addresses, and confirmation threshold) cannot be created.**
{% endhint %}

<figure><img src="https://254144762-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FLmUskow6Yg0G4jQRE0Lf%2Fuploads%2FjxiLEZ83xjSZCWXzPz41%2FScreenshot%202025-12-04%20at%2014.54.37.png?alt=media&amp;token=d825c7d0-007b-48f5-b517-0392adff2edd" alt="" width="375"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

#### ➱ Vault is created

Once your Vault is created, it will appear on the homepage. A newly created Vault can be in ready-to-use or in pending status.&#x20;

<figure><img src="https://254144762-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FLmUskow6Yg0G4jQRE0Lf%2Fuploads%2F8r0fJTawyEmbdZGyV3ly%2FScreenshot%202025-12-04%20at%2015.01.53.png?alt=media&amp;token=f533483b-71b9-4f3c-bc5c-0a0d1c23a40c" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

{% hint style="info" %}

* **Ready-to-use** Vault have all the owners joined. The owner(s) can already manage it, send and receive tokens, create ordinal inscriptions and more.&#x20;
* **Pending** Vault is still waiting owners to join.  All the added owners have to join the Vault to finalize its creation.&#x20;
  {% endhint %}

Once the last co-owner accepts an invitation and joins the Vault, pending status automatically switches to ready-to-use one.

### Joining the Vault

#### ➱ Join the pending Vault

At first locate the pending Vault in the list of **Your Vaults** on the homepage.

{% hint style="info" %}
