Carapace is a decentralized social recovery protocol that provides a backup plan if private keys are lost. The protocol builds an abstraction between users and smart contract programming, allowing the user to shape a specific use case with a combination of rules, which can be applied to backup wallets, inheritance, DAOs, etc. Carapace is a blockchain native solution, designed for web3 users to protect their assets forever, with a simple step UI, backed by a hard-shell security mechanism.
