Miden Multisig Client
High-level Rust SDK built on top of miden-client for private multisignature workflows on Miden. The crate wraps the on-chain multisig contracts plus Guardian coordination so you can:
- create multisig accounts, register them with a GUARDIAN, and keep state off-chain,
- propose, sign, and execute transactions with threshold enforcement,
- fall back to offline
SwitchGuardianworkflows when connectivity is limited, - export/import proposals as files for sharing using side channels,
How Private Multisigs & GUARDIAN Work
Miden multisig accounts store their authentication logic on-chain, but their state (signers, metadata, proposals) is kept private. GUARDIAN acts as a coordination server:
- A proposer pushes a delta (transaction plan) to Guardian. GUARDIAN tracks who signed and emits an ack signature once the threshold is met.
- Cosigners fetch pending deltas, verify details locally, sign the transaction summary, and push signatures back to GUARDIAN.
- Once ready, any cosigner builds the final transaction using all cosigner signatures + the GUARDIAN ack, executes it on-chain.
Installation
Add the crate to your workspace (already available in this repo). From another project:

Core Workflow Examples
Propose ➜ Sign ➜ Execute
use TransactionType;
use AccountId;
let recipient = from_hex?;
let faucet = from_hex?;
let tx = transfer;
// Proposer creates the delta on GUARDIAN
let proposal = client.propose_transaction.await?;
// Second cosigner lists available proposals and signs the matching one
let proposals = client.list_proposals.await?;
let to_sign = proposals
.iter
.find
.expect;
client.sign_proposal.await?;
// Once threshold is met, any cosigner can execute
client.execute_proposal.await?;
Fallback to Offline (if GUARDIAN unavailable)
If the GUARDIAN endpoint can’t be reached, the SDK can produce an offline proposal only for SwitchGuardian transactions:
use ;
let tx = switch_guardian;
match client.propose_with_fallback.await?
Fully Offline Signing and Execution
use TransactionType;
let tx = switch_guardian;
let mut exported = client.create_proposal_offline.await?;
// Cosigner signs locally
client.sign_imported_proposal.await?;
write?;
// Once enough signatures are collected offline:
client.execute_imported_proposal.await?;
Listing Notes
List all notes that are currently consumable by the loaded account:
let notes = client.list_consumable_notes.await?;
for note in notes
List notes from a specific faucet with a minimum amount filter:
use NoteFilter;
let faucet = from_hex?;
let filter = by_faucet_min_amount;
let spendable = client.list_consumable_notes_filtered.await?;
Custom Proposal Types
GUARDIAN accepts any non-empty proposal_type, so an integration can propose a
transaction the SDK does not model (an agglayer bridge note, an arbitrary dApp
transaction) under its own label. The SDK normalizes the label to lowercase
snake_case (trims and lowercases it, then requires [a-z0-9_]+ — the same
shape as built-in labels like add_signer), so "B2Agg" becomes b2agg and
"add signer" / "add-signer" are rejected. Such a proposal buckets to
TransactionType::Custom and keeps its normalized label in
ProposalMetadata.proposal_type. It can be listed, signed, and
exported/imported through the normal flow, but the generic SDK cannot build its
on-chain transaction — the integration owns that recipe and drives execution.
use Serializable;
use ;
// Producer: build a transaction and propose it under a custom label.
let salt = generate_salt;
let mut request = build_p2id_transaction_request?;
let proposal = client.propose_custom_transaction.await?;
// Cosigners review and sign through the usual list/sign flow.
// Producer (once threshold is met): bind-check the request, fetch the validated
// advice, inject it into the request, and submit. `prepare_custom_execution`
// verifies the request against the signed commitment *before* the GUARDIAN ack.
let advice = client.prepare_custom_execution.await?;
request.advice_map_mut.extend;
client.submit_transaction.await?;
The integration keeps only its own recipe (build inputs + salt) so it can reproduce the exact transaction at execute time — the SDK does not store the serialized request. The binding check guarantees the rebuilt transaction matches the commitment the cosigners signed.
Consume-notes metadata versions
consume_notes proposals come in two metadata shapes. The discriminator
is the consume_notes_metadata_version field on the wire.
- v1 (legacy) —
consume_notes_metadata_versionabsent on the wire. The proposal carries onlynote_ids; the verifier rebuilds the transaction request by fetching each note from its own local Miden store. If the verifier does not have the note locally (cursor advanced past the block, store was wiped, private-note transport pruned the blob), verification fails withMultisigError::LegacyConsumeNotesNoteMissingand the cosigner cannot sign. This is the failure tracked by issue #229. - v2 (self-contained) —
consume_notes_metadata_version: 2plus aconsume_notes_notesarray carrying base64-serializedNotebytes aligned by index withnote_ids. Verification rebuilds the request from the embedded notes alone — no local-store read, no network call. This restores the same "rebuild from signed metadata" invariant every other proposal type already satisfied (and that audit finding M-08 remediated forp2id).
Proposal creation always emits v2 starting with this release; the
proposer is the one party guaranteed to hold the notes locally. The
per-proposal v2 payload is capped at MAX_CONSUME_NOTES_METADATA_BYTES
(256 KiB) and the size is enforced at creation time so the failure
surfaces to the proposer before any signature collection begins.
Error taxonomy
All four errors below carry a stable, cross-SDK string code via
MultisigError::code(). The TS SDK exposes the same identifiers as
Error.code.
| Variant | .code() |
When |
|---|---|---|
NoteBindingMismatch |
consume_notes_note_binding_mismatch |
v2: notes.len() != note_ids.len(), or note.id() != note_ids[i] |
UnsupportedMetadataVersion { found } |
consume_notes_unsupported_metadata_version |
Unrecognized version (including v1 on a cut-over build) |
ConsumeNotesMetadataOversize { limit, actual } |
consume_notes_metadata_oversize |
v2 metadata serialization exceeds 256 KiB at creation |
LegacyConsumeNotesNoteMissing { note_id } |
consume_notes_legacy_note_missing |
v1 path: local store does not contain the referenced note |
Cut-over policy
The legacy-consume-notes Cargo feature (default-on in this transitional
release) gates whether the crate accepts v1 metadata for verification.
A future cut-over release will ship with default = [], at which point
v1 proposals are refused with UnsupportedMetadataVersion { found: None }
on every code path. Deployments should drain or re-propose any v1
consume_notes proposals in flight before upgrading past the cut-over
client version. Tracked by spec
006-consume-notes-metadata.
Demo CLI
Run the Terminal UI demo in examples/demo, which exercises the same APIs for account management, note listing, proposal signing, and offline export/import.
