Migrating from Squads multisig

This guide demostrates how to migrate from Squads multisig.

​
Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have the following installed:
  • Bun (latest version)
  • The PublicKey of the Multisig
  • A Member of the multisig with some SOL for transaction fees

​
Setup

First, clone the swig-ts repository and navigate to the migrate-from-squads example: 
git clone https://github.com/anagrambuild/swig-ts.git
cd swig-ts/examples/migrate-from-squads
bun install
The example already includes all necessary dependencies:
  • @sqds/multisig for Squads Multisig functionality
  • @swig-wallet/classic for Swig wallet functionality
  • @solana/web3.js for Solana interactions
  • chalk for colorful console output

​
Understanding the Code

The example demonstrates several key concepts:
  1. Extrating data from the Squads multisig account
  2. Creating a Swig with multiple authorities in a single transaction
  3. Updating Swig roles
Let’s break down the main components:

​
1. Decode the multisig account

Before swapping, we need to ensure the Swig account has the necessary token accounts: 
const squadsRawAccountInfo = await connection.getAccountInfo(squadAddress);
if (!squadsRawAccountInfo)
	throw new Error(
		`No squad multisig found for address ${squadAddress.toBase58()}`
	);

const squads =
	multisig.accounts.Multisig.fromAccountInfo(squadsRawAccountInfo)[0];

​
2. Extract data needed to create a Swig

// we use the same seeds for creating the squads mulitsig to create the swig
const swigId = squads.createKey.toBytes();

// we check if the keypair is a member on the squads multisig
if (
	!squads.members.find(
		(member) =>
			member.key.toBase58() === squadsMemberKeypair.publicKey.toBase58()
	)
) {
	throw new Error(
		`The provided keypair ${squadsMemberKeypair.publicKey.toBase58()} is not a member on the multisig.`
	);
}

// we make sure we the config authority excluded from the members' list to eliminate duplicate when adding authorities
const otherMembers = squads.members
	.map((s) => s.key)
	.filter((key) => key.toBase58() !== squadsMemberKeypair.publicKey.toBase58());

​
3. Create a Swig including all the members as authorities

The most critical part is properly separating and handling instructions: 
const swigAddress = findSwigPda(swigId);

const createIxBuilder = getCreateSwigInstructionBuilder({
	payer: squadsMemberKeypair.publicKey,
	// we set the action of the config authority on swig to `All`
	// to grant it root access as it has on the multisig
	actions: Actions.set().all().get(),
	authorityInfo: createEd25519AuthorityInfo(squads.configAuthority),
	id: swigId,
	swigAddress,
	options: {},
});

// we include instructions for adding the other members as authorites on the swig
otherMembers.forEach((authority) =>
	createIxBuilder.addAuthority(
		createEd25519AuthorityInfo(authority),
		// we limit the actions on these authorites,
		// these authorities can be updated as needed the config authority (root authority)
		Actions.set().programCurated().get()
	)
);

const createIxs = await createIxBuilder.getInstructions();

const tx = new Transaction().add(...createIxs);
tx.feePayer = squadsMemberKeypair.publicKey;
tx.recentBlockhash = (await connection.getLatestBlockhash()).blockhash;
tx.sign(squadsMemberKeypair);

const sig = await connection.sendRawTransaction(tx.serialize());
await connection.confirmTransaction(sig);

​
Next steps

  1. Asset Transfer:
  • Transfer of assets can be done from the Squads multisig dashboard.
  • Assets should be transferred to the wallet address of the newly created Swig.

​
Running the Example

  1. Prepare a member keypair file of the squad mulitig. (This will also be the transaction fee payer).
  2. Get the address of the squads multisig.
  3. Run the example:
bun run index.ts path/to/squads/member/keypair.json SQUADS_ADDRESS [optional-swig-id]
The example will:
  • Get all the members of the squads multisig
  • Include all members of the squads multisig as authorities in a newly created swig.

​
Production Considerations

  1. Security:
    • Securely manage keypairs and private keys
    • Implement proper error recovery mechanisms
    • Add transaction timeout handling
  2. Performance:
    • Consider using RPC endpoints with higher rate limits
    • Implement proper retry mechanisms
  3. User Experience:
    • Add progress indicators for multi-step operations
