Hoskinson said in a statement, “Input | Output has always been committed to open-source principles, cross-industry collaboration, and blockchain interoperability. As an industry seeking to drive wider adoption, we should all be committed to relentlessly pursuing security, accessibility, and improving the user experience.”

Hedera and Algorand initially launched the DeRec Alliance. Its goal is to establish an interoperability recovery standard to promote the widespread adoption of crypto assets. The alliance aims to simplify the recovery of digital assets, similar to how the process works in traditional Web2 finance. The alliance believes that this is a key roadblock preventing newcomers to Web3.

“We co-founded the DeRec Alliance as part of our mission to improve the UX for the entire ecosystem, from regular users to developers, delivering a better, more accessible, and more secure experience for all,” John Woods, CTO of the Algorand Foundation, said regarding the Alliance’s goal. “Streamlined key recovery is vital, as is further decentralization of other important infrastructures.”
