A multisig threshold is easy to quote and easy to misunderstand. A 3-of-5 wallet means that three approved owners can authorize an action, but the number alone does not prove that control is well distributed.

Start with signer independence. Five owner addresses controlled by one founder, one device fleet or one shared recovery path do not provide the same resilience as independently managed keys. Check geographic and organizational separation, hardware-wallet use, backup procedures and the plan for replacing an unavailable signer.

Then map the full authority surface. A treasury wallet may hold assets, but it may also control contract upgrades, emergency pauses, emissions, bridges or protocol parameters. Review enabled modules and guards, changes to owners or threshold, and any alternate execution path. A security review that counts only the visible balance can miss the larger blast radius.

Finally, inspect process. High-impact transactions should be decoded and simulated, with the chain, destination, function, value and calldata reviewed before approval. A timelock can create response time, but only if alerts, roles and emergency procedures are ready.
