Social Recovery Wallet
noutita.com#TECH
A smart contract wallet design that allows account recovery via trusted guardians rather than relying on vulnerable paper seed phrases.
How this mechanic works
Promoted by Vitalik Buterin, social recovery empowers account holders to assign trusted entities (devices, friends, or institutions) who can reach an on-chain quorum (e.g., 3-of-5) to approve a new signing key if access is lost.
