Not sure who to address this to but –

Is smart wallet-style guardian account recovery on the roadmap for Valora? (e.g. [Argent](https://support.argent.xyz/hc/en-us/articles/360022631412-About-wallet-recovery))

Currently doing some ground research in Curacao for a Celo implementation and this is the number one issue that keeps popping up (folks just _do not_ write down their seed phrase).

If Valora does not support this, is there another smart wallet in Celo’s ecosystem that does and simultaneously supports the Celo identity protocol (phone numbers)?

Hi @Lamhaf - I’ve responded over [here](https://forum.celo.org/t/about-the-valora-discussion-category/30/3).

@papa_raw This is tricky since we are decentralized! We are serious about account recovery and working on solutions but do not have one implemented quite yet.

Do you have a spec you can share?

I do not. Have you seen this [conversation](https://discord.com/channels/600834479145353243/600834479145353245/893589840015282236) over on Celo’s Discord? that conversation links over to Github [about the Celo Wallet Council Call 3](https://github.com/celo-org/celo-proposals/issues/288#issuecomment-926984338).

That may be of interest to you!
