Path to Seedless Recovery

Duration: 00:06:44

Speaker: Stefan George

Type: Breakout

Expertise: Intermediate

Event: Devcon

Date: Jul 2026

Private key management is one of the key issues to be solved on the road to mass adoption of blockchains like Ethereum. Smart contract based wallets like the Gnosis Safe are laying the foundation to solve this problem by allowing different types of access control. The talk gives an overview of the different approaches developed to allow account recovery beyond seed backups and explains how to implement social recovery to ensure recoverability without compromising privacy.
