Multisig links: How to self host: Link Live alternate UI for Akash: Link Video of the multisig: Link

You can now manage multisigs for any Cosmos chain in one place, all hosted on Akash and with Akash used by default. You have the ability to IBC transfer, send, track transactions, one click swaps, and even add multisig functionality within other dApps (using the Cosmos Metamask Provider called snapper + window.cosmos.createMultisig).

You can also self-host the multisig (using mysticlabss/multisig:v0.1.0 ) on Akash (including the dependency Appwrite instance) if you are a business that prefers to do such and don't want to use our deployment.

Deliverable for Akash:

(Pulled from prior proposal) This project aims to integrate into the Cosmos Snap for Akash, thereby enabling MetaMask users to access the Akash Marketplace. This will facilitate the buying and selling of decentralized cloud computing infrastructure for Ethereum-based users. Additionally, it will increase user exposure to testing advanced AI models once the Akash AI rollout is completed.

In-wallet notifications will significantly improve the user experience for those using the Cosmos Snap. These notifications include low balance warnings, instance renewals, and more, which are crucial for Akash users. An alternate wallet UI hosted on Akash will further showcase Akash's capabilities.

Multi-sig support adds another layer of utility, benefiting not just Akash users but the entire Cosmos ecosystem due to the current lack of a well-established, Cosmos-native multi-sig option.

Benefits of This Proposal for Akash

1. Direct connection to the 30M+ monthly active MetaMask users
2. In-wallet notification support for essential functions
3. Multi-sig support directly in-wallet
4. An alternate wallet UI hosted on an Akash-based server
5. Access to Akash's decentralized cloud-computing for Ethereum-based users
6. Enhance Akash chain security through staking AKT tokens from a larger user base
7. Potential increase in Akash Marketplace sales volume
8. Further strengthen the link between Akash, Cosmos, and Ethereum
