Social recovery is a mechanism designed to help users regain access to their digital asset wallets or accounts through a network of trusted individuals. Instead of a single seed phrase, a user designates a set of “guardians” whose collective approval can initiate a recovery process. This method offers an alternative to traditional recovery phrases, which can be lost or compromised. It aims to enhance security and usability.
