Distributed access recovery

LOSE YOUR KEYS.NOT YOUR CRYPTO.

Your wallet access shouldn't depend on a single piece of paper. SHARDX splits recovery into shards held by your devices and trusted guardians. Lose one, and the rest bring you back.

5 RECOVERY SHARDS · 3 REQUIRED
Interactive prototype

Build your recovery network. Then lose your phone.

Choose who or what can help you regain access. No single shard is enough on its own. Everything here is a visual simulation: no real keys, no seed phrases, no wallet connections.

Select a recovery policy

How many shards exist, and how many are needed to restore access

Assign recovery holders

One holder per shard. Click a node or edit a row. Names are just labels in this demo

Generate the network

The core splits into one shard per holder. Each holder receives its own piece

This is a visual simulation. No real wallet key or recovery secret has been generated or stored.

Your phone is gone. Your crypto isn't.

RECOVERY POSSIBLE
Security model

No single point of failure.

Seed phrase

  • 1One recovery secret, stored in one place
  • ✕If lost, access may become unrecoverable
  • ✕If stolen, the wallet may be compromised

Single device

  • ✓Convenient everyday access
  • ✕Lose or break the device and recovery gets hard
  • !Everything rides on one piece of hardware

Threshold recovery

  • ✓Multiple independently held shards
  • ✓A defined threshold is required, never just one
  • ✓Tolerates some unavailable holders
UNDER THE HOOD
Threshold policies

A policy like 3-of-5 means five shards exist and any three can authorize recovery. Fewer than three cannot.

Independent holders

Shards sit with different devices and people, so one compromised or lost holder is not enough to take or lose access.

Cryptographic share distribution

A production system would use an established scheme such as secret sharing or threshold signatures / MPC to create and distribute shards.

Recovery authorization

Each holder would need to authenticate and approve before their shard counts toward the threshold.

Key reconstruction or access restore

Depending on the architecture, the threshold either reconstructs a key in a secure environment or authorizes a new device without ever rebuilding the key.

Rotation and revocation

Holders change over time. Shards should be rotated and old ones revoked without moving funds.

Security auditing

Protocols, implementations and recovery flows need threat modeling and independent audits before handling real assets.

Honest status

This site is an interactive concept. The final cryptographic and wallet architecture still has to be chosen, implemented and independently audited. Nothing here is production security.
