This guide explains the basic Snow-Fall workflow for Cosmos multisigs.

Before you begin

Make sure you have:

Snow-Fall is non-custodial. Your wallet keeps your keys. The dashboard coordinates the operation.

Step 1: Sign in with your wallet

Open the dashboard and connect your Cosmos wallet from the Cosmos workspace.

Your wallet will ask you to sign a login message. This proves that you control the wallet address. It does not move funds and does not give Snow-Fall access to your private keys.

Step 2: Create or import a multisig

Create a new multisig when you are starting from scratch.

Import an existing multisig when the address already exists and you want to manage it from Snow-Fall.

For both flows, review the chain, threshold, signers, signer public keys, and final multisig address before using it.

Step 3: Create a transaction

Choose the multisig, select the action, and fill in the required fields.

Common Cosmos actions include:

A transaction starts as a draft. Once it is ready, Snow-Fall shows a human-readable review screen.

Step 4: Review before signing

Every signer should review:

The payload hash is a fingerprint of the transaction that helps detect changes. After the first signature, the payload is locked.

Step 5: Collect signatures

Each signer opens the transaction and signs with their wallet.

The signature progress card shows who signed, who is still pending, and whether the threshold has been reached.

Step 6: Finalize

When enough valid signatures are collected, the transaction can be finalized.

Finalization creates the signed transaction bytes. It does not necessarily mean the transaction has been sent to the network yet.

Step 7: Broadcast

Broadcasting submits the finalized transaction to the selected Cosmos chain.

Snow-Fall requires a final confirmation before broadcast. After success, the dashboard stores the transaction hash.

Step 8: Verify the result

Check the transaction status in Snow-Fall. When available, also verify the transaction in a block explorer.

First operation recommendation

For a new multisig, start with a small test transaction before using larger amounts or validator operations.
