PROVEN PROCESS
Our Recovery Methodology
A structured, multi-layered approach designed for institutional-grade security and operational resilience, minimizing downtime and eliminating single points of failure.
01
Multi-Signature Protocol Design
We architect and implement custom multi-signature schemes (e.g., Gnosis Safe, custom MPC) with configurable quorums. This ensures no single individual can access funds, enforcing governance policies and mitigating insider threats.
3-7
Signer Thresholds
Zero-Trust
Access Model
02
Geographically Distributed Key Sharding
Private keys are cryptographically split into shards stored in secure, geographically disparate locations (HSMs, secure enclaves). Recovery requires assembling a pre-defined threshold of shards from independent custodians.

Geo Zones
FIPS 140-2 L3
HSM Standard
03
Deterministic & Verifiable Procedures
Every recovery step is documented in a runbook and encoded into automated checks where possible. We provide cryptographic proof of shard integrity and transaction signing authority throughout the process.

Why Institutional-Grade Recovery Demands a Professional Service
Professional Recovery vs. Ad-Hoc Response
Comparing the structured, secure approach of a dedicated recovery service against the risks and hidden costs of improvised solutions.
| Recovery Factor | Ad-Hoc / DIY Response | Chainscore Professional Service |
|---|---|---|
Response Time Guarantee | Unpredictable (hours to days) | SLA-Backed (< 4 hours) |
Security & Audit Trail | Manual, prone to error | Fully automated, cryptographically verifiable |
Multi-Sig Coordination | Manual key gathering via chat/email | Automated, non-custodial ceremony orchestration |
Compliance & Reporting | None or manually compiled | Full audit log for regulators & internal audit |
Team Expertise | Internal team (variable skill) | Dedicated crypto security engineers |
Failure Risk | High (single point of failure) | Low (redundant, tested processes) |
Post-Incident Analysis | Ad-hoc review | Formal root-cause and process hardening report |
Total Cost of Ownership (Annual) | $50K+ in engineering time + risk | Predictable retainer ($75K-$200K) |

PROVEN METHODOLOGY
Our Recovery Process
A structured, auditable, and secure process designed to restore access to institutional assets with zero loss of funds. We combine cryptographic expertise with institutional-grade operational security.
01
1. Secure Intake & Verification
We initiate a multi-signature verification protocol to authenticate your identity and ownership claims before any technical work begins. All communication is encrypted and logged for audit trails.
3-Factor
Identity Verification
Zero-Trust

2. Forensic Analysis & Strategy
Our engineers analyze the wallet architecture, key sharding scheme, and failure mode. We develop a bespoke recovery plan detailing cryptographic techniques, tools, and contingency procedures.

3. Isolated Execution Environment
Recovery operations are performed in a physically and digitally isolated, air-gapped environment. We use hardware security modules (HSMs) and dedicated, non-networked machines to eliminate remote attack vectors.

4. Cryptographic Reconstruction
Leveraging techniques like Shamir's Secret Sharing (SSS), Multi-Party Computation (MPC), or brute-force parameter search, we reconstruct the private key or seed phrase without ever exposing complete secrets.

Institutional Wallet Recovery FAQs
Get clear, specific answers to the most common questions CTOs and security leads ask when evaluating institutional-grade wallet recovery services.
Standard deployment for a multi-signature hot/cold wallet recovery system is 2-4 weeks from kickoff to production. This includes architecture design, smart contract development, security audit integration, and team onboarding. Complex setups with custom governance or cross-chain requirements may extend to 6-8 weeks.
