June 05, 2025

The Bitpie wallet is widely popular in the blockchain and cryptocurrency field, especially for its multi-signature function, which enhances the security and flexibility of asset management. Multi-signature, or multisig, is a way of requiring multiple keys to authorize a transaction, thereby increasing the security level of the wallet. However, the process of revoking multisig authorization may not be clear to many users. This article will explore in detail how to revoke multisig authorization in the Bitpie wallet, helping users to better understand and manage their assets.

I. The Basic Concept of Bitpie Wallet Multi-signature

  • What is multisignature?
  • Multi-signature technology allows a transaction to require multiple signatures to be executed. This mechanism is primarily used to enhance the security of transactions, especially when it involves important assets or fund management. Compared to single-signature wallets, multi-signature wallets add an additional layer of security.

  • How multisignature works
  • In a multi-signature wallet, each private key is a separate control tool. For example, a multi-signature wallet set to "2/3" means that before any transaction can be executed, it requires the agreement of at least two out of three signers. This setup can effectively reduce the risk of asset loss due to a single point of failure.

    How to Revoke Multi-Signature Authorization in Bitpie Wallet: A Comprehensive and In-Depth Guide

  • Use multi-signature
  • The reasons for using multi-signature include:

  • High securityEven if a private key is compromised, attackers cannot easily conduct transactions.
  • Shared ManagementSuitable for team or family use, control can be distributed to multiple users.
  • Reduce errorsReduce financial losses caused by individual errors through multi-person approval.
  • 2. How to Set Up Bitpie Wallet

  • Create a multi-signature wallet
  • In the Bitpie wallet, users can create a multi-signature wallet in the following ways:

  • Enter the wallet settings interface.
  • Select the option to create a new multi-signature wallet.
  • Set the number of required private keys and the required threshold (e.g. 2/3).
  • Add the addresses of the participants and generate a multi-signature contract.
  • Adding and Managing Multi-Signature Authorization
  • After creating a multi-signature wallet, users can choose which accounts to add to the wallet. These accounts will have the authority to initiate transactions, but each transaction will also require the signature of other co-signers to be executed.

    The necessity of revoking multi-signature authorization

    Revoking multi-signature authorization refers to a user wishing to stop certain addresses or accounts from accessing their multi-signature wallet. This may be due to the following reasons:

  • Transfer of controlThe user wishes to transfer ownership of the wallet to someone else.
  • Security considerationsIf a participant's private key is compromised, revoking their permissions can protect the wallet's assets.
  • Unused accountSometimes users may remove addresses they no longer use.
  • The detailed process of revoking multi-signature authorization in the Bitpie wallet.

  • Log in to wallet
  • Users first need to open the Bitpie wallet and log in using their private key or mnemonic phrase.

  • Enter the multi-signature management interface
  • Find the "Multisig Management" or "Multisig Wallet" option on the main interface and enter that page.

  • View authorized accounts
  • In the multi-signature management interface, users can view the current list of authorized accounts, including their corresponding addresses and permissions.

  • Select the account you want to revoke.
  • Find the account that needs to have its permissions revoked in the authorized account list, and select it.

  • Initiate a revocation request
  • After selecting the target account, the user will see an option for "revoke authorization" or similar. Clicking on this option will prompt the user to confirm.

  • Signature and Confirmation
  • As this is a multi-signature operation, it requires signatures from other parties to complete the revocation. After the request is made, the revocation will be completed once all necessary signatures are obtained.

  • Check authorization status
  • Users can revisit the multi-signature management interface to confirm whether the authorization status of the selected account has been successfully revoked.

    Precautions when revoking authorization

    Revoking multi-signature authorization is not just a technical operation, but also involves the user's asset management strategy.

  • Verified account
  • Before revoking, make sure that the account's administrative privileges are no longer needed to avoid impacting future transactions.

  • How do I back up my private key?
  • It is recommended that users back up all relevant private keys before performing similar operations to prevent unnecessary loss of assets.

  • Be cautious of contract updates.
  • Always pay attention to the version updates of the Bitpie wallet, as sometimes the new version's features may change the original management method.

    Frequently Asked Questions

  • How long does it take to revoke authorization?
  • The time it takes to revoke authorization typically depends on the congestion of the network and the speed of participant responses. In most cases, it can be completed within a few minutes, but it may take longer during peak periods.

  • Is it possible to revoke authorization for all participants?
  • Users can choose to revoke authorization for all participants in the management interface, but this should be done carefully, as once revoked, new participants will need to be added again in order to continue using the multi-signature function.

  • Is the fund safe after revoking authorization?
  • The security of funds after revoking authorization depends on the signature security of the remaining participants. Ensure that only trusted participants are still in control.

  • Why was my withdrawal request unsuccessful?
  • The reason the withdrawal request was unsuccessful may be due to a lack of necessary signatures, or your multi-signature wallet not functioning properly. It is recommended to check the network connection and wallet status.

  • 4. Is it necessary to pay a handling fee?
  • Usually, revoking authorization also requires paying network transaction fees, just like regular blockchain operations.

    By understanding the above content, users can more effectively manage the multi-signature authorization of the Bitpie wallet, ensuring the security and flexibility of assets, and achieving efficient digital asset management.
