- Hedera and Algorand ecosystems have formed the DeRec Alliance, which aims to develop a decentralized recovery system for cryptocurrencies.
- The alliance seeks collaborations beyond the two ecosystems, onboarding across the industry involving banks, credit unions, and wallet software projects.
In a joint panel at the Crypto Finance Conference in St. Moritz, Hedera, Algorand ecosystems and some key players have announced the formation of the DeRec Alliance. The Alliance aims to develop a decentralized recovery system for cryptocurrencies.
This game-changing system will go a long way to make digital asset recovery painless and secure across wallets. In addition, it helps bring conventional web2 practices into the Web3 applications that are increasingly becoming mainstream. Dr. Leemon Baird, co-founder of Hedera expounded on this, stating;
The DeRec Alliance is a group of individuals and organizations committed to making the process of securing and recovering digital assets, accounts, passwords, and other secrets as simple as existing Web2 experiences,
He further called on every blockchain and every industry player to work together to create the standards and the open-source code needed to bring safety to the promise of Web3. John Woods, CTO of Algorand Foundation highlighted the need for a seamless experience to maximize ease of use. He also pointed out its interoperability that ensures complete access across the industry.
DeRec is an ambitious effort to solve one of the biggest Web3 UX issues, key ownership. And best of all, it’s been done in a way that is project agnostic, meaning it’s completely interoperable across the industry. Algorand is excited to be a part of this story.

The blockchain industry has since its adoption been a cut-throat industry with different platforms trying to outperform each other. However, in recent years there have been efforts to work together and bring interoperability for the benefit of developers and users alike. DeRec is a product of such efforts, which sets it up for long-term success. The organization is now calling on other interested parties to join the alliance through the official website t https://derecalliance.org/.
Hedera’s HBAR and ALGO Fail to Rally
Following this development, Hedera’s native token HBAR has recorded a drop of 1.5%. This is part of a wider market decline influenced by Bitcoin (BTC). On the weekly chart, the digital asset is down by nearly 4% and is trading for $0.0832.
Algorand’s ALGO on the other hand is up by down by nearly 2% and is exchanging for $0.1996. Investors are, however, enjoying gains of nearly 1% on the weekly chart.
Despite mirroring BTC in the short term, investors remain confident that in the long term, the two altcoins will lead the bull market. The bullish investors base their argument on network developments and growth, as well as its committed and resilient community backing.
