Social Recovery Module Test Harness

WHAT IT DOES

Social Recovery Module Test Harness provides comprehensive testing for social recovery modules in smart accounts, enabling wallet developers and users to verify that recovery mechanisms work correctly before they are needed. It retrieves on-chain social recovery module contract bytecode via eth_getCode and fetches verified source code and ABI from block explorer APIs. The tool analyzes guardian addresses and recovery threshold parameters, validates smart account wallet contract bytecode and state, and simulates the recovery process. It runs a suite of recovery checks including recovery module interface validation, guardian list verification, threshold verification, timelock checks, wallet state validation, and recovery execution simulation. The output includes a recovery status (Ready, Pending, or Failed), count of guardians verified vs. total, estimated recovery gas cost, a detailed check matrix showing each recovery check's result, and actionable recommendations for resolving issues—such as adding more guardians, adjusting the recovery threshold, verifying timelock settings, or ensuring the wallet state is compatible with recovery. This enables wallet developers, recovery module implementers, and end users to verify that social recovery is correctly configured and ready for use.

HOW TO USE

Connect your BGWallet to the target EVM chain. Paste the address of the social recovery module you wish to test. Provide the smart account wallet address that the recovery module is associated with. List the guardian addresses (one per line) that are authorized to initiate recovery. Optionally supply a GitHub repository URL to pull recovery module implementation details and recovery specifications for additional context. The tool fetches the recovery module's bytecode and state, analyzes the wallet state and guardian list, and runs a comprehensive recovery test suite. Review the recovery status, guardian verification count, estimated gas cost, check matrix, and recommendations. Use the results to verify that your social recovery module is correctly configured and that recovery can be successfully executed when needed.

SOCIAL RECOVERY MODULE VALIDATION AND RECOVERY SIMULATION ENGINE

The real technical mechanism is the social recovery module validation and recovery simulation engine that combines module bytecode analysis with recovery process semantics. The tool first retrieves the recovery module contract's bytecode and disassembles it to identify the recovery functions—typically functions like initiateRecovery, confirmRecovery, or executeRecovery that handle the recovery workflow. It then analyzes the wallet contract's state to verify that the recovery module is correctly authorized and that the wallet's security configuration is compatible with recovery. The engine validates the guardian list by checking that each address is properly registered in the module, that the recovery threshold (the minimum number of guardians required to approve recovery) is correctly set, and that the threshold is achievable given the number of guardians. The timelock check verifies that the recovery process has a proper delay period and that the module correctly enforces the timelock before allowing recovery execution. The recovery execution simulation walks through the recovery process—from initiation through guardian confirmations to final execution—validating that each step would succeed and that the recovery module would correctly transfer ownership of the wallet. This approach provides developers with a comprehensive, automated way to test social recovery modules, catching issues that would otherwise only surface during an actual recovery attempt and ensuring that users can recover their accounts when needed.

WHAT IT CANNOT SEE

This tool cannot generate a complete social recovery test without access to recovery module contract bytecode or wallet state. It is limited by your RPC provider's rate limits for data retrieval, which may delay analysis on congested networks. It cannot determine if the recovery module correctly executes recovery without executing the recovery process—simulation provides insights but does not replace full on-chain execution. The detection relies on the completeness of the ABI and source code verification; unverified contracts or incomplete verification data will produce incomplete or inaccurate results. Detection is based on bytecode pattern matching and may miss indirect or obfuscated recovery logic, such as recovery logic hidden in libraries or via delegate calls. The tool cannot assess runtime behavior or security implications of recovery mechanisms, such as how the module handles edge cases or malicious guardian behavior. It may produce false positives for data that appears similar to recovery data but is used for other purposes. The tool does not execute the contract to validate recovery, so it cannot confirm that recovery would succeed in all scenarios. It cannot account for network-specific recovery module implementation differences or future upgrades—different recovery modules may have different workflows, timelock mechanisms, or guardian management patterns. Social recovery module behavior may vary across implementations and wallet types, making testing dependent on accurate metadata.

PLEASE NOTE

This tool works exclusively with EVM-compatible chains that support smart account wallets and social recovery modules. It requires active internet connectivity to access block explorer APIs and RPC endpoints. Some block explorers may require API keys for high-volume bytecode retrieval. The tool is read-only and does not execute any recovery transactions—it only produces test assessments. Social recovery is critical to wallet security; always verify test results against actual recovery module behavior on testnet before relying on it for mainnet wallets. Different social recovery implementations may have different guardian management, timelock, and recovery execution patterns.
