Key Recovery & Inheritance
How you can lose money here, and what the ranking scores
  • Control failure (Ledger Recover 0/10): a key or vote changes the rules, freezes or mints.
    Scored by What actually makes the handover happen — code, a contract, or somebody's goodwill? And who can start it without me? · 28%
  • Execution failure (Ledger Recover 7/10): you get a worse price, later, or nothing.
    Scored by If this fails, who is actually on the hook — and can I find their number in a register? · 24%
  • Exit failure (Ledger Recover 3/10): you cannot get out at par, on time, or with what is yours.
    Scored by If this company is gone in twenty years, can the person I chose still move the coins? · 32%
Not assessed by this ranking: Custody failure, Key failure, Information failure. A high place says nothing about these; the Methodology tab says what each means. Also scored, as cost, quality or a summary of several families: What does this cost me every year until I die, and what happens to my heir if I stop paying? (16%).
