Case-specific assessment
We evaluate the wallet state, affected accounts, and chain context to determine whether PAPI Rescue fits the case.
A recovery product for compromised wallets.
PAPI Rescue is built for Polkadot-based chains and for cases where private keys have been compromised but funds remain recoverable. The polkadot-api team adapts the product to each eligible case and operates the recovery workflow.
What PAPI Rescue is built to do
A recovery product for a narrow class of incidents.
PAPI Rescue is not generic wallet support. It is a recovery product designed for compromised-wallet cases on Polkadot-based chains where assets remain technically recoverable.
Lock-aware recovery planning
The product is built to account for wallet constraints, chain-specific behavior, and locks that shape how recovery can be executed.
Technical recovery execution
We operate PAPI Rescue on Polkadot-based chains, including the infrastructure and execution required to return funds safely.
Who this is for
Not every wallet incident is recoverable.
PAPI Rescue is intentionally narrow in scope. If your situation falls within these boundaries, PAPI Rescue may be the right fit.
This is a fit when
Private keys may have been exposed, the wallet is compromised, and the assets have not yet left the wallet or are still recoverable because chain-level locks cannot be unlocked immediately.
This is not a fit when
Funds have already left the wallet, been transferred away, or otherwise moved beyond the wallet itself. PAPI Rescue does not handle post-transfer tracing or recovery once assets are no longer recoverable in place.
Recovery process
A clear path from first assessment to recovery execution.
The process stays direct: review the situation, reply with an assessment, and handle the technical execution if the case is viable.
01
Case intake
Submit a short description of the wallet issue, the chain involved, and what you believe happened.
02
Fit and recovery assessment
The team reviews whether PAPI Rescue fits the case and whether the assets appear technically recoverable.
03
Recovery execution
If the case is viable, we handle the technical recovery process with minimal user involvement during execution.
Recovery impact
Proof grounded in real recoveries and public identity.
PAPI Rescue is built by the polkadot-api team. The product is rooted in technical work within the Polkadot ecosystem, not anonymous recovery claims.

FAQ
Questions that matter before you submit a case.
The goal is to define product fit clearly and remove ambiguity about how PAPI Rescue works.
What kind of cases does PAPI Rescue handle?
PAPI Rescue is built for compromised wallets on Polkadot-based chains where private keys may have been exposed but the assets are still in the wallet or otherwise still recoverable.
Can you recover funds that already left the wallet?
No. The product is limited to cases where funds have not yet left the wallet. If assets have already been transferred away, that is outside the scope of PAPI Rescue.
Which chains do you support?
PAPI Rescue is built for Polkadot-based chains, including networks such as Polkadot, Polkadot Asset Hub, Hydration, Acala, and other chains in the Polkadot ecosystem.
Do I need to do anything technical during the recovery?
No. Once the case is understood and PAPI Rescue fits it, the recovery process is handled by the team, with minimal user interaction during execution.
What happens after I submit a case?
The team reviews the case details, evaluates whether PAPI Rescue fits the case and whether the assets appear recoverable, and then replies with an assessment.
Who is behind PAPI Rescue?
PAPI Rescue is built by the polkadot-api team. The product is grounded in direct technical experience within the Polkadot ecosystem.
Why should I trust PAPI Rescue?
The team operates under public identity and has established involvement in the Polkadot ecosystem. PAPI Rescue is not an anonymous recovery operation. It is a product built by contributors known for technical work on Polkadot tooling.
