Quorums and policies
All sensitive operations—such as withdrawing assets or changing account settings—require approval from multiple members of your Anchorage organization. Each vault operates under a vault policy, which defines the user access configuration for that vault. A vault policy may be assigned to multiple vaults, ensuring that the same permission level and rules for operation approval are consistently applied across all of them.Vault members
Each vault must have a minimum of 3 members.
Quorum approvers
Each vault must have a minimum quorum of 2 approvers.
