How to sign a multisig transaction with eosio.msig

eosio.msig​

Prerequisites:​

  • eosio.token contract installed to eosio.token account, eosio.msig contract installed on eosio.msig account which is a priviliged account.
  • account 'treasury' is the issuer of SYS token.
  • account 'tester' exists.
  • keys to accounts 'treasury' and 'tester' imported into local wallet, the wallet is unlocked.

One user creates a proposal:​

cleos multisig propose test '[{"actor": "treasury", "permission": "active"}]' '[{"actor": "treasury", "permission": "active"}]' eosio.token issue '{"to": "tester", "quantity": "1000.0000 SYS", "memo": ""}' -p tester

#    eosio.msig <= eosio.msig::propose          {"proposer":"tester","proposal_name":"test","requested":[{"actor":"treasury","permission":"active"}]...

Another user reviews the transaction:​

cleos multisig review tester test
{
  "proposal_name": "test",
  "requested_approvals": [{
      "actor": "treasury",
      "permission": "active"
    }
  ],

      }
    ]
  }
}

And then approves it:​

cleos multisig approve tester test '{"actor": "treasury", "permission": "active"}' -p treasury

First user check account balance before executing the proposed transaction​

cleos get account tester
...
SYS balances:
     liquid:            1.0487 SYS

     unstaking:         0.0000 SYS

First user initiates execution of proposed transaction:​

cleos multisig exec tester test -p tester
executed transaction: 64e5eaceb77362694055f572ae35876111e87b637a55250de315b1b55e56d6c2  248 bytes  109568 cycles
#    eosio.msig <= eosio.msig::exec             {"proposer":"tester","proposal_name":"test","executer":"tester"}

First user can check account balance, it should be increased by 1.0000 SYS​

cleos get account tester
