以太坊创始人Vitalik提倡加密货币广泛采用社交恢复型钱包:1月11日消息，以太坊创始人VitalikButerin发布博文章提倡加密货币行业应采用一种社交恢复型钱包（socialrecoverywallets），这种新型智能合约钱包可更好的提升加密货币的安全保护。社交恢复型钱包工作原理主要有两部分，第一，只有一个签名密钥可用于批准交易；第二，至少有3个（或更多）监护人，其中大多数可以配合更改帐户的签名密钥。如果用户丢失了签名密钥，那么社交恢复功能就会启动。用户可以直接与监护人联系，要求他们签署一项特殊交易，以将钱包合同中注册的签名公钥更改为新的签名。目前，已实现社交恢复功能的两个主要钱包是Argent钱包和Loopring钱包。不过，这两个钱包都存在两大问题，分别是依赖中继器来解决交易，以及高交易费，但可以通过将生态系统移至第2层协议解决，例如ZKrollups。[2021/1/11 15:51:02]
