Recovery can protect a smart account from permanent credential loss. It can also create an alternate path to full account control.

ERC-7947 proposes a shared interface for adding recovery providers, committing account-specific recovery data, submitting recovery proofs and changing an account’s access subject after verification.

A recovery provider does not need the primary wallet key to become security-critical. If it can accept a false proof or authorize the wrong replacement subject, the recovery path can become an account takeover path.

Review:

• Provider address and implementation

• Access control around provider enrollment

• Exact meaning of the recovery data

• Proof binding to the account and intended access change

• Nonce or equivalent replay protection

• Provider removal and cleanup behavior

• Upgrade authority and emergency response

ERC-7947 does not provide one mandatory delay, expiry or provider threshold. Never assume those controls exist without verifying the implementation.
