Recover for Wallet Providers is built for wallet providers, custodians, and exchanges who want to offer recovery to their own customers. We hold encrypted recovery material on your behalf, integrated with the wallet platform you already use, and we get your customers back access to their assets when they need it. You stay in control of your day-to-day wallet UX. We sit behind the scenes — invisible until recovery is needed.
Backing up your own wallets rather than your customers’? You want Recover for Businesses, which integrates CoinCover directly over the standard endpoints.

How we integrate

We integrate with each major institutional wallet platform in the way that fits its security model. Some partners use our Partner Key Service API directly; others run an offline key ceremony with our Custody Operations team. Either way, the outcome is the same — encrypted recovery material held by CoinCover, available to your customers when they need it.

If your wallet platform isn’t on the list, talk to us — we add new integrations regularly and the Partner Key Service is designed to be portable.

What we always do

Whichever partner you use, the integration shape is the same:

Hold encrypted recovery material

Every key pair is generated inside an AWS Nitro Enclave. The corresponding private key is then held in our online environment for HOT keys, or in our offline, geo-redundant vault for COLD keys. We can’t read your recovery material in plaintext, and neither can our staff.

Verify identity at recovery time

Every recovery is gated by identity verification through CoinCover Control. The right person gets their assets back, and no-one else.

Work with your wallet platform's tooling

We don’t replace your wallet UX. We sit alongside it, using each partner’s native backup and recovery mechanisms.

Hold the audit trail

Every assignment, every storage operation, every recovery — recorded and retained for the life of the relationship.

Two integration models

How you integrate depends on your wallet platform.

Partner Key Service API

Used by Fireblocks, Utila, and Fordefi. CoinCover provides RSA public keys via a REST API. You — or your wallet platform — encrypt recovery material with the public key. If this is your model, the API integration guide is your starting point.

Key ceremony

Used by Cobo, Copper Unlimited and BitGo. CoinCover’s Custody Operations team coordinates a key ceremony with your wallet platform and the end customer. The resulting key share is stored on a FIPS 140-2 Level 3 device in a secure vault. If this is your model, the partner-specific page is the one to read — there’s no API integration to do on your side. Onboarding runs through your account manager.

What every customer gets

Whichever model you’re on, every customer ends up with the same protections:
  • Encrypted recovery material, with private keys generated inside AWS Nitro Enclaves and stored online (HOT) or in our offline, geo-redundant vault (COLD)
  • CoinCover Control for identity-verified recovery requests
  • A 24/7 on-call line for live recovery incidents
  • Audit logs covering assignment, storage, and recovery for the life of the relationship

Who it’s for

You’ll typically integrate Recover for Wallet Providers if you fit one of these descriptions:
  • A wallet provider (Fireblocks, BitGo, Cobo, Copper, Utila, Fordefi, or similar) offering recovery as a value-add to your customers
  • A custodian holding institutional digital assets and offering a recovery story to the customers whose assets you hold
  • An exchange or fintech providing wallet infrastructure to customers and needing a fallback path if a key is lost or compromised
If you’re backing up your own wallets rather than your customers’, see Recover for Businesses. If you’re building a consumer wallet for end customers, you probably want Recover for Retail.
