The 2-of-3 mint stays a pass, not a new threshold

Lesson map

Lesson 07. Map, example, EX053.

The mint row is already met. Meeting it does not invite a new design.

Logical drawing

mint row
    source marks it met
    wording in the source: 2-of-3 multisig
    prose nearby: multi-signature arrangement
not in the file
    key holders' names
    a different threshold
    a fresh run

Learning outcomes

After this chapter, you should be able to:

1. Say what the mint row claims.
2. Keep both the prose wording and the 2-of-3 wording.
3. Refuse a new threshold that this file does not contain.

7.1 Two descriptions, one passing row.

A multi-signature arrangement means a privileged action waits for more than one key. The checklist's first row is specific: the mint role is held by a 2-of-3 multisig, and the source marks that row met. Chapter 4's prose says "multi-signature arrangement" and does not restate the numbers. Both descriptions belong to the same pass. Two of three means the mint runs when two of the three designated keys agree. The manuscript never names the people or the devices that hold those keys, so a note cannot fill those names in. Changing the row to one of one, or to three of five, or to any other pair of numbers, would be a different control. The source does not contain that edit, and the print does not list the mint row among the gaps. A pass is evidence about this setup. It is not permission to retune the setup in the margin. The script that reads the row stays unread as a new program.

7.2 Worked example

Keep the threshold that is written. Do not design another one on the answer line.

Synthetic case. The 2-of-3 mint is a synthetic control on a test setup. No key is printed.

Errors and limits

A passing mint row can still sit beside unmet rows. The pass does not close the timelock, the access review, or the monitoring gap.

Apply

• EX053 — Which threshold? Someone proposes rewriting the mint row from 2-of-3 to another threshold because the row already passes. What threshold stays, and what must the note not add?
