# Technical Specifications Our multisig implementation on Zcash is designed to support both **shielded** and **transparent** transaction flows, taking into account the unique cryptographic architecture of the Zcash protocol. #### **Transparent Multisig** Transparent Zcash addresses follow the standard Bitcoin-style UTXO scripting model, enabling familiar M-of-N multisig via P2SH and legacy scripts. This provides full compatibility with existing wallets and infrastructure. #### **Shielded Multisig (Coming soon)** Shielded pools (Sapling and Orchard) do not support on-chain scripts or native M-of-N spending logic. To enable multisig, we use **FROST**, Zcash’s threshold Schnorr signature scheme. FROST allows multiple key holders to collaboratively produce a **single valid shielded spend signature** without reconstructing the spend key or revealing that multisig was used. The resulting signature is indistinguishable from a normal shielded spend, preserving privacy and protocol compatibility. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
