Enter the shared wallet name, then enter the names of the copayers and their corresponding public keys to their wallets (the minimum of copayers is 2 and the maximum is 12).
Set the transaction rules for the shared wallet. This example has three participants, and two of them are required to make a transaction.
After you’ve created your shared wallet, the wallet home page will show information including the wallet address, ONT and ONG asset balance and the ONT balance price in USD, the shared wallet rule, the name of the participants and their individual wallet addresses, pending transaction information, completed transaction information, as well as send and receive functions for MainNet ONT.

Select the shared wallet sponsor and drag to adjust the signature confirmation order. Please note that once the signature is confirmed, it cannot be changed. The sponsor is the first to confirm the signature, and the subsequent signatures must be signed in order. (In this example there are three wallet participants. After the first and second participants sign the confirmation the transfer is successful).
Confirm the signature sequence.
After the shared transaction is initiated it enters a pending state. After all required participants have signed the confirmation, the transaction can be completed and the balance and complated transactions will update.
