Blockstream(@Blockstream):Today, losing your hardware wallet is fine. Your recovery phrase gets you back in. In a post-quantum signing setup, the device also holds state: a running count of how many times it has signed. That state matters for security. SHRINCS is designed so that if the device is lost, the recovery phrase loads into a new one and falls back to a path that needs no state at all.
