Recovery
Lose the card.
Not the assets.
Security should scale with portfolio value.
Five recovery tiers from Daily Card to legal/estate process. Bounded by integration. Legal review required for succession.

Recovery is only as strong as the wallet or custody integration. Keyra cannot recover a private key it never possessed. Finding a revoked card does not restore authority.
Five tiers
Security should scale with portfolio value
Tier 1 — Daily Card
Ordinary transactional authority for everyday use.
Tier 2 — Vault Card
Recovery and elevated authority—distinct and policy-governed, never an unrestricted duplicate.
Tier 3 — Approved Recovery Factors
Identity re-establishment with policy and waiting period.
Tier 4 — Threshold / Institutional Recovery
Multiple independent parties for high-value portfolios.
Tier 5 — Legal / Estate Process
Executor or trustee authority where selected and legally valid. Legal review required by jurisdiction.
Keyra cannot recover a private key it never possessed. Finding a revoked card does not restore authority. Legal/estate processes require counsel by jurisdiction.
