​
Approving a Proposal

When a proposal is created on-chain, each vault signer receives a notification. Each signer approves independently:
1

Open the proposal

Navigate to Governance → Proposals in the vault and click the pending proposal.
2

Approve on-chain

Click Approve. The app calls POST /api/proposals/:id/approve-onchain. Sign the approval wcTransaction in your wallet.
3

Confirm

After broadcasting, the app calls POST /api/proposals/:id/confirm-approval. Your address is added to the approvals list. When 2 of 3 signers approve, the proposal moves to approved.

​
Executing the Payout

Once the proposal is approved, any of the 2 signers who approved can initiate execution:
1

Initiate execute

Click Execute Payout. The app calls POST /api/proposals/:id/execute. The backend selects the 2-signer pair and returns a wcTransaction with "broadcast": false. Sign but do not broadcast yet — the wallet knows to hold the signed transaction.
2

Submit signature

Call POST /api/proposals/:id/execute-signature with the sessionId and your signedTransaction. The first signer submits their partial signature.
3

Second signer signs

The second required signer opens the same proposal, clicks Execute Payout, and submits their signature via execute-signature.
4

Auto-broadcast

Once the second signature arrives, the backend validates both signatures, broadcasts the fully-signed transaction, and marks the proposal executed. Funds appear in the recipient’s wallet.

​
Rejection

FlowGuard does not have an explicit reject action. If a proposal does not reach 2-of-3 approvals before the voting period ends, it stays pending indefinitely. The proposer can cancel the on-chain covenant and recover the locked funds via a direct P2SH spend.
