Cryptographic Authority
Single Point of Failure
Any single element whose compromise causes total system failure — the vulnerability that CLAVI’s distributed Rune architecture is engineered to eliminate.
Definition
Any element in a system whose individual compromise, loss, or destruction causes the entire system to fail. In conventional cryptocurrency custody, the 24‑word seed phrase is the canonical single point of failure: lose it, and the assets are irrecoverable. CLAVI’s distributed Rune architecture exists specifically to eliminate this fragility — no single device, no single phrase, no single person holds total authority.
