Acceptance Criteria - All Met ✅

1. Multi-sig Wallet (3-of-5) ✅

  • Constant: REQUIRED_SIGNATURES = 3
  • Storage: 5 signers maintained in blockchain storage
  • Logic: Auto-approval when votes_for ≥ 3
  • Tests: test_approval_with_three_votes verifies functionality

2. Proposal System ✅

  • Types: UpdateAdmin, UpdateUnderlyingToken, UpdateParameter
  • Creation: create_proposal() with auto-incrementing IDs

  • Enforcement: Checked in execute_proposal()
  • Tests: test_timelock_prevents_early_execution validates

4. Vote Tracking & Execution ✅

  • Tracking: votes_for, votes_against, signers vector

  • Execution: Permissionless after timelock
  • Tests: Vote and execution paths tested

5. Event Logging ✅

  • Audit Trail: All proposal data stored (proposer, voters, timestamps)

Public Interface

Proposal Creation (Signer-Only)

propose_update_admin(proposer, new_admin) → Result<u64, VaultError>
propose_update_token(proposer, new_token) → Result<u64, VaultError>
propose_parameter_update(proposer, name, value) → Result<u64, VaultError>

Voting (Signer-Only)

vote(voter, proposal_id, approve) → Result<(), VaultError>

Execution (Permissionless)

execute(executor, proposal_id) → Result<(), VaultError>

Query (Public)

proposal_status(proposal_id) → Option<String>

Updated Initialization

initialize(admin, underlying_token, signers) → Result<(), VaultError>
// signers: Vec<Address> with 5 addresses

Security Properties

Enforced Invariants

  1. ✅ Only signers can propose (non-signers → InvalidAddress)
  2. ✅ Only signers can vote (non-signers → InvalidAddress)
  3. ✅ One vote per signer per proposal (double vote → InvalidAddress)
  4. ✅ Minimum 3 approvals required (checked automatically)
  5. ✅ 24-hour delay mandatory (early execution → InvalidAddress)
  6. ✅ Status transitions locked (prevents bypassing Approved)
  7. ✅ Immutable voting records (prevents tampering)

Attack Prevention

  • Sybil: Fixed 5 signers, no registration mechanism
  • Flash Loan: 24-hour timelock, state committed before execution
  • Double Voting: Vote record blocks second vote
  • Unilateral Change: 3-of-5 consensus required
  • Reentrancy: Soroban single-threaded by design

Test Coverage

Governance Tests (8 Tests)

  1. ✅ test_governance_init_with_signers — 5 signers initialized
  2. ✅ test_propose_admin_update — Admin updates work
  3. ✅ test_non_signer_cannot_propose — Authorization enforced
  4. ✅ test_vote_on_proposal — Voting mechanism
  5. ✅ test_approval_with_three_votes — 3-of-5 approval
  6. ✅ test_timelock_prevents_early_execution — 24h delay
  7. ✅ test_parameter_proposal — Parameter updates
  8. ✅ test_cannot_vote_twice — Vote immutability

Existing Tests

  • 14+ vault operation tests (unchanged)
  • All tests pass with mock_all_auths()

  • No emergency bypass mode
  • No time-based proposal expiration
  • No delegation support

Future Enhancements

  1. Weighted voting (different signer powers)

  3. Delegation (signers delegate to others)
  4. Emergency bypass (5/5 signatures)
  5. Proposal cancellation mechanism
  6. Multiple threshold support (1/3, 2/5, 4/5)

Not Required for Current Release

  • Veto power
  • Vote delegation
  • Governance tokens
  • Stake-based voting
