Using Evervault Enclaves saves us weeks of engineering time compared to building and maintaining enclaves ourselves.

— Mike Hudack, CEO

Challenge

User experience is a core focus for Morse. Users own their currency directly, which means normally they would have to be responsible for safeguarding their wallet private key. This is optimal from a security perspective, but would put a significant burden on Morse users. Wallet keys are easily lost or stolen, and backing them up adds a lot of friction to an onboarding flow. Morse needed a way for users to own their wallets and keys while still giving them an easy way to recover them in case they lose their phone or their key backups — without Morse having to store any of their users' wallets in plaintext.

Solution

Using Evervault Enclaves, the Morse team was able to implement a non-custodial wallet recovery flow where users generate wallets and sign transactions on their own device — and key recovery happens directly between a consumer’s mobile device and an Evervault Enclave. This way, Morse never has access to any of the wallet keys — even during key recovery.
