# A Fedimint guardian disappears: does the federation still have a recovery quorum?

A concrete threshold-backup matrix for federations using multisignature Bitcoin custody. It clarifies the difference between having enough guardian keys, having usable database state, and remembering the encryption password. A pre-disaster audit—not a recipe for reconstructing missing keys.

The unlock includes a dated technical reference, task-specific decision steps, and a reusable record template. It does not claim to perform the work or guarantee the outcome.
