Depends which multisig… The first multisig where the CP has to send money into a quick interim account kinda sucks. Like I said in the footnotes, the tooling isn’t set up for it but the transfer should be quick and highly visible. I think sdk 47 will fix that awkward interim transfer, and 47 is an existing, planned tooling update. It’s definitely a weakness, but I think it’s a very different situation to trust a third party for a single, immediate transfer vs continuing to release funds over like, 6-12 months of a funding period. The vesting multisig being in the hands of the funding recipients vs a small group of other people is a huge change imo. - Third party multisig: Third part (not community, not funding recipients) decide whether funding recipients actually get the promised tokens once released from community pool. Third party (not community) has the direct, non-governance-approved ability to send money anywhere, including back to the community pool. This means that the community is trusting the third party to behave responsibly for the entire funding period, and to be the arbiters of whether the funding recipients continue to receive funding. - Vesting multisig: Community decides that funding recipients get the promised tokens according to vesting schedule and it happens automatically. Everyone in the community has equal power to create a governance proposal to send still-vesting tokens back to community pool. Community does not need to give their power to a third party to decide whether the funding recipients get paid (bc it vests automatically) In both cases, I think it would be an extreme move to claw back tokens directly from the funding recipient’s personal wallets. So what’s interesting/relevant to me is the interim stage in long funding periods between the release from the community pool and the tokens reaching the recipient’s personal wallet. Does that make sense? --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.cosmos.network/t/oversight-committee-spec-for-optimistic-governance/11450)._
