# Create Proposal

> Create a new proposal for multi-signature approval

Creates a proposal that requires consensus from multiple signers before execution. Proposals enable coordinated multi-party approval for transactions and account settings changes.

<Warning>
  Proposals are an **enterprise-tier feature**. Free and Pro tier accounts will receive a 403
  Forbidden error.
</Warning>

## Proposal Types

### Custom Proposals

Execute arbitrary Solana transactions through your smart account:

```typescript theme={null}
const response = await grid.createProposal(accountAddress, {
    type: "custom",
    transaction: serializedVersionedTransaction,
    signer: creatorPublicKey,
});
```

### Settings Proposals

Modify account configuration with up to 10 actions per proposal:

```typescript theme={null}
const response = await grid.createProposal(accountAddress, {
    type: "settings",
    actions: [
        { type: "AddSigner", newSigner: { address: newKey, mask: 7 } },
        { type: "ChangeThreshold", newThreshold: 2 },
    ],
    signer: creatorPublicKey,
});
```

**Available actions**: `AddSigner`, `RemoveSigner`, `ChangeThreshold`, `SetTimeLock`, `AddSpendingLimit`, `RemoveSpendingLimit`, `SetArchivalAuthority`

### Transfer Proposals

Transfer tokens or SOL from your smart account through a proposal:

```typescript theme={null}
const response = await grid.createProposal(accountAddress, {
    type: "transfer",
    token: "usdc",
    destination: recipientPublicKey,
    rawAmount: 1000000,
    signer: creatorPublicKey,
});
```

**Supported tokens**: `sol`, `usdc`, `usdt`, `pyusd`, `eurc`, or a custom mint

| Parameter      | Type               | Required | Description                                                                |
| -------------- | ------------------ | -------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `token`        | `string \| object` | Yes      | Standard token name or custom mint object                                  |
| `destination`  | `string`           | Yes      | Recipient's Solana address                                                 |
| `rawAmount`    | `number`           | Yes      | Amount in the token's smallest unit (e.g. lamports for SOL, 10^6 for USDC) |
| `mintDecimals` | `number`           | No       | Override decimal precision; validated against on-chain mint data           |
| `signer`       | `string`           | Yes      | Public key of the proposal creator                                         |

## Permission Requirements

The signer must have `CAN_INITIATE` permission (mask includes value 1). The signer address cannot be the smart account address itself.

## Transaction Splitting

Solana transactions have a 1232-byte limit. If your proposal exceeds this, the API returns multiple transactions that must be signed and submitted in order.

## Fee Configuration

By default, the Grid paymaster sponsors fees. Enterprise accounts can specify custom fee handling:

```typescript theme={null}
{
  fee_config: {
    currency: "SOL",
    payer_address: payerPublicKey,
    self_managed_fees: true  // Skip simulation
  }
}
```

## Implementation Flow

<Steps>
  <Step title="Prepare Proposal">Build your transaction or define settings actions.</Step>

  <Step title="Create Proposal">
    Call this endpoint. Returns unsigned transaction(s) and the proposal address.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Sign and Submit">
    Sign all returned transactions and submit to Solana in order.
  </Step>
</Steps>

The proposal is now `Active` and awaiting votes.
