Create a multisig account on Squads in a few minutes. You need a Solana wallet and a small amount of SOL for deployment fees.

​
Prerequisites

  • A Solana wallet (Phantom, Backpack, Solflare, or similar)
  • 0.1 SOL for the deployment fee, plus a small amount of SOL for the initial deposit, network rent, and transaction fees
  • Wallet addresses of your team members (optional; members can be added after creation)

​
Steps

1

Connect your wallet

Go to app.squads.so and select Connect wallet. Choose your wallet from the available options.
2

Select Create a Squad

Select Create a Squad from the home screen.
3

Enter Squad details

Add a name (required, up to 32 characters), a logo (PNG, JPEG, or GIF, up to 1 MB), and a description (optional, up to 64 characters). Uploading a logo requires signing in with your wallet. The name and logo can be changed later in Settings. Select Next.
4

Add members and set threshold

Your connected wallet is the first member and has all permissions. Select Add member for each additional member and enter their Public key. You can also add a Nickname, which is saved only in your browser, and choose the member’s Permissions (Proposer, Voter, Executor).Set the Threshold (the number of approvals required to execute a proposal). The threshold cannot be higher than the number of members with the Voter permission. Then select Next.A 2-of-3 or 3-of-5 threshold is recommended. Avoid a threshold of 1 (single point of failure) or equal to total members (one lost key locks the Squad). A Squad can be created with up to 10 members, including you. More can be added later by proposal.Only add wallets that you fully control. Do not add exchange addresses, as they cannot sign transactions.
5

Review and create

Review the members, threshold, and deploy fee. Select Create and approve the transaction in your wallet. Once the transaction confirms, your new Squad’s dashboard opens.
6

Share with your team

Send the Squad URL to your team. Members connect the wallet that was added to the Squad to access it.
Members and threshold can be adjusted after creation through the standard proposal process.
Connect your Ledger through Phantom or Solflare. Enable Blind Signing on your Ledger device and ensure both Ledger firmware and the Solana app are up to date.The connect dialog also lists WalletConnect (Ledger Live and mobile wallets) and Trezor.

The review screen shows the total as Deploy fee before you create the Squad.
