Trustless Recovery

Definition

Trustless recovery refers to mechanisms that allow users to regain access to their digital assets or accounts without relying on a centralized third party. This typically involves cryptographic techniques, such as multi-signature schemes or social recovery protocols, where designated guardians or a quorum of trusted individuals can collectively authorize access. It removes the need for a single point of failure or an intermediary holding private keys. This method significantly enhances user security and autonomy.
