CoinCover cold storage

Secure offline wallet recovery for institutional crypto storage.

CoinCover Recover for Institutions adds a controlled, non-custodial offline wallet security path to your crypto recovery, so you can regain access fast after loss of credentials, key-person events, or operational disruption.

cold storage for digital asset protection

Offline key storage

Authorised recovery only with identity checks

Rapid recovery outcomes

Cold storage supports treasury, reserves, and long-horizon holdings.

Cold storage keeps private keys offline away from internet-based threats and lost access. Institutions use secure offline wallets as a foundational control for safeguarding high-value assets because it reduces the most common attack paths.

Cold storage delivers:

Reduce your online attack surface by keeping keys fully offline
Strengthen protection against theft from phishing, malware, and remote intrusions
Apply clear operational controls with defined access, approval, and handling procedures
Recover fast and confidently after operational disruption

How cold storage works

Secure offline recovery for your institution

Secure offline wallet recovery requires strict operational controls to ensure private keys never interact with internet-connected systems.

CoinCover enables institutions to initiate recovery through CoinCover Control, reconstruct keys on air-gapped infrastructure, and securely download encrypted recovery data.

The benefits of cold storage

Ultra-secure generation:
  • Every private key is generated, sharded, and encrypted in pairs using AES-256, one of the strongest encryption standards available.
Offline storage in certified devices:
  • Private keys held offline in FIPS 140-2 Level 3 certified tamper-proof devices helping to prevent hardware security modules (HSMs) exposure to online attacks and remote breaches.
Physical security:
  • Keys are stored across strategically located, high-security vaults protected by round-the-clock physical security and surveillance, adding a further layer of defence beyond digital protection.
Multi-party access controls:
  • Access is restricted to multiple approved and vetted staff members, helping to remove any single point of failure or compromise.

CoinCover Recover FAQs

1
What is CoinCover Recover?

CoinCover Recover is a white-labelled recovery solution that lets wallet providers offer their customers a secure way to regain access to crypto assets if they lose their keys, without compromising security or exposing key material.

1
How does the recovery process work?

Keys are sharded into fragments and distributed across independent parties, so no single provider ever holds a complete key. To restore access, a customer goes through identity verification, and once checks pass, the required number of fragments are released to restore the wallet.

1
Who is CoinCover Recover built for?

It's built for wallet providers who want to offer their retail customers a built-in recovery option, handling everything from onboarding to identity verification to support, so providers don't need to build this infrastructure themselves.

1
Does adding recovery affect our support workload?

It's designed to reduce it. Turnkey onboarding, automated identity verification, and 24/7 expert support handle most recovery cases, cutting the volume of complex support requests that would otherwise land with the wallet provider's own team.

1
Is CoinCover Recover suitable for large-scale, high-volume wallet platforms?

Yes. It's built for retail scale, with automated onboarding and verification designed to work without manual intervention, unlike recovery approaches that only work for a small number of institutional wallets.

1
How does CoinCover already work with wallets?

CoinCover has powered Ledger Recover since 2023, using the same sharded, multi-party model to restore access to Ledger customers' seed phrases when needed.
