Circuit

When systems break, keys disappear, or wallets are compromised, Circuit keeps your assets recoverable, your operations intact, and your reputation protected.

Circuit is a digital asset recovery platform. When keys are lost, custodians fail, wallet infrastructure is down, or malicious actors compromise wallets, Circuit ensures you always have access to your assets.

Instead of reconstituting private keys for disaster recovery - a slow, manual, and risky operation - Circuit's Automatic Asset Extraction (AAE) offers transaction-level security that doesn't involve trusting a third party or using a master private key.

When institutions solely rely on backup private keys, payments take days or weeks to resume. With Circuit, payment settlement is never disrupted.

Use Cases

Lost Private Keys

Losing private keys is one of the most critical and overlooked risks in digital asset custody: a lost key can mean frozen funds, disrupted operations, and loss of customer trust. Circuit addresses this challenge through a secure recovery architecture that is auditable, scalable, and able to be continually tested. Traditionally, when keys are lost companies rely on pre-funded backup wallets since their backup private key will take hours or days to regain wallet access. Circuit enables automatic, verifiable asset recovery that preserves operational continuity, protects client assets, and reduces regulatory exposure.

Custodian Failure

Custodian failure represents one of the greatest operational risks for institutions holding digital assets. Whether due to insolvency, technical outage, or security breach, a custodian failure can halt access to assets, disrupt settlements, and expose businesses to regulatory and reputational damage. Circuit eliminates the risk of failure by storing and managing pre-signed transactions that allows assets to be securely transferred or recovered without relying on any one custodian. Circuit’s architecture ensures that recovery processes are automated, verifiable, and policy-driven, enabling institutions to maintain access to their holdings even in the event of custodian compromise or collapse. By ensuring continuity of custody and control, Circuit protects client assets, strengthens counterparty resilience, and helps digital asset ecosystem participants operate with confidence no matter what happens to their primary custodian.

Wallet Infrastructure Outage

Outages in wallet infrastructure can instantly disrupt access to digital asset holdings and stall payment settlement. Circuit prevents downtime through a redundant, verifiable asset recovery framework that ensures assets remain accessible even when wallet infrastructure fails. Even when wallets aren't available, Circuit enables you to transfer assets to a safe backup wallet without relying on technical intervention or external providers. By enabling continuous access and transaction resilience, Circuit helps companies maintain business continuity, protect client assets, and meet compliance obligations even in the face of unexpected infrastructure outages.
