It brings XRPL Labs with it and joins Algorand and Hedera and members of their ecosystems, among others.


DeRec is developing a tool to make Web3 more accessible by providing open-source management for “secrets,” such as digital assets, accounts, keys, passwords, photographs and other digital material, that will not require the high level of user sophistication necessary today. The DeRec app would simplify storage and provide a means of recovering information in case of a lost device. It was invented by Hedera co-founder Leemon Baird and debuted in January.Source: Dagnum P.I. 


The DeRec app allows users to select helpers who will hold encrypted fragments of the user’s secrets held in a library file. It hopes to introduce Helper-as-a-Service in the future. Helpers will not have access to the fragments, although the organization notes that it is liable to 51% attack:“If less than half of Alex’s [a hypothetical “layperson”] helpers were to collude, the helpers would still be unable to access the vault.”


The DeRec app is setting itself up as an alternative to Ethereum’s ERC-4337 smart account standard, known as account abstraction, introduced in March 2023. Polygon, Optimism, Arbitrum, BNB Smart Chain, Avalanche and Gnosis Chain are among the Ethereum Virtual Machine-compatible networks that can use that standard.

Besides being available to other blockchains, the DeRec app claims to be able to hold secrets of any type, whether onchain or offchain. In addition, its use would be undetectable, and the identities of the helpers could not be discovered. RippleX Senior Vice President Markus Infanger commented:“Together, we can revolutionize how users manage their private keys, representing a major step forward for user security and adoption – not just for XRP Ledger users, but for everyone in crypto.”


Ripple joins the Algorand Foundation, Hedera-affiliated Swirlds Labs and Ripple-associated XRPL Labs as founding members of DeRec, giving it a seat on its Technical Oversight Committee. Besides the three major blockchain organizations and their affiliates, blockchain-enabled healthcare network Acoer, industry service providers The Building Blocks and BankSocial, wallet infrastructure provider Blade Labs, the Casper and Constellation blockchain foundations and Key backup and recovery solution provider Revive Labs are members of DeRec.
