# Create committees

1.Connect your wallet to [BoolScan's Dashboard](https://dashboard.boolscan.com/?network=testnet).

2.Click `+` button on the "Committee" section to start creating a committee.

3\. One can configure the number of MPC nodes (which is labelled as "`Member`") to control a committee. In general, the number of committee members is positively correlated to the security level while it conversely delays the average time for processing cross-chain messages.&#x20;

By clicking on `Submit`, a user is required to send a transaction to create a committee and record the committee information on the Bool chain.&#x20;

{% hint style="warning" %}
NOTE that the current Bool testnet only supports a small size of committee members, such as 3 or 5. A higher configuration of the committee members may raise the warning of <mark style="color:red;">`Insufficient devices`</mark>!
{% endhint %}

4\. When the preceding transaction has been submitted, a user should be able to view his newly created committee in his Dashboard.

Primary information for a committee has been provided once the creation transaction is completed.   The name of each committee is initially given as `default` while the committee creator can change the name to a meaningful one, such as "the prospective bridge/application name" + "the blockchain id". &#x20;

5\. **Configurations!** You have mastered how to create an ECDSA-type committee in Bool Network. However, please note that a committee can only be used once in Bool Network which means that **at least two committees** are required to be created before building a bridge.&#x20;

* Just created one committee? Why not go above and try the creation process again?
* Have owned more than two committees? Forward to the next page and build an AMT bridge!

{% hint style="info" %}
Remind that each committee manages a private key in Bool Network. At the creation stage of a committee, a unique private key will be assigned to it and instantly distributed into fragments that are stored in the TEE hardware of its MPC-based members. The number of fragments equals the number of committee members.&#x20;
