Metadata & Labels

Metadata makes a Private Multisig easier to recognize and manage. It does not grant access or change on-chain authority.

Vault metadata

A vault may include:

• A name
• A short description
• An image

Keep names and descriptions concise. Do not place secrets, recovery phrases, private keys, or sensitive member information in metadata.

Member labels

Member labels are private, human-readable names shown to authorized vault members when locally available.

Founder
Treasury manager
Operations signer

Labels help members understand roles, but they are convenience metadata only.

Metadata and permissions

Item	Purpose	Grants authority?
Vault name or description	Identifies the vault	No
Member label	Describes a member’s role	No
Vault membership	Identifies an authorized participant	Yes
Approval threshold	Sets how many approvals are required	Yes

Access and signing authority come from the vault’s membership and authorization records. Changing a label never adds a member, removes a member, or changes the approval threshold.

Privacy

Treat all metadata as potentially sensitive. Only add information that other authorized vault members need, and verify the current app behavior before assuming any field is private.
