Non-Custodial Recovery Flows

Non-custodial recovery flows are the methods by which a user can regain access to their funds if they lose their primary authentication method, without relying on a centralized entity. These flows often utilize multisig wallets or social recovery schemes where a set of trusted guardians or devices can approve a new key for the account.

This provides a safety net that is missing from traditional seed-phrase-only setups. The design of these flows must be simple enough for the average user to execute while being secure enough to prevent unauthorized account takeovers.

It represents a significant advancement in balancing self-sovereignty with practical usability. These mechanisms are vital for protecting assets against accidental loss.
