Recovery Mechanisms

Recovery options depend on your chosen MPC provider:
  • MPC (Sodot) Recovery
  • dMPC (Ika) Recovery

Backup System

  • Cryptographic backups automatically generated for new vaults
  • Backup shares distributed to designated team members
  • Recovery possible even if Aeon’s infrastructure is unavailable

Emergency Recovery Process

In the unlikely event that Aeon becomes unreachable, you can recover your private key material using:
  • The backup shares you configured
  • The seed phrases from backup users
  • Aeon’s open-source recovery tool

Best Practices

Backup Security

  • Store backup materials in secure, offline locations
  • Use multiple geographic locations for redundancy
  • Regularly verify backup integrity
  • Maintain updated documentation of recovery procedures

Recovery Planning

  • Designate multiple team members for backup responsibilities
  • Establish clear communication protocols for emergency situations
  • Practice recovery procedures periodically
  • Keep recovery tools and documentation easily accessible
Never store backup materials in the same location as your primary systems. Ensure backup shares are distributed among trusted team members who understand their responsibilities.
