In a recent tweet, Ripple engineer Mayukha Vadari highlights the major advantage of native multisign on the XRP ledger, which is zero smart contract risk. As multisigning is baked directly into the protocol and not patched together through 3rd-party smart contracts, the attack vector literally doesn't exist for XRPL accounts, Vadari added. Advertisement Vadari was reacting to a recent report by Blockaid, which detected an exploit targeting the SquidRouterModule on Ethereum and Base networks. In this incident, 86 Gnosis Safes were drained for about $3 million in nearly 2 hours. All stolen tokens were swapped to DAI via attacker-controlled Uniswap V3 pools. The advantage of native multisign on the XRPL: zero smart contract risk. Because multisign is baked directly into the protocol, not patched together via 3rd-party smart contracts, this attack vector literally doesn't exist for your accounts.

Multi-signing in the XRP Ledger is a means of authorizing transactions for the XRP Ledger by using a combination of multiple secret keys. Any combination of authorization methods can be enabled for a user address, including multi-signing, a master key pair, and a regular key pair. (The only requirement is that at least one method must be enabled.)
