The Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) is a locked area of HTC EXODUS 1s hidden from
Android and untrusted apps. This TEE will hold the keys to your crypto, whether currencies, tokens,
or non-fungible tokens (NFTs).
Zion
Zion allows you to conduct crypto transactions, view and manage your crypto collectibles, and
manage your crypto life while maintaining ownership of your keys.
To learn more, see What you can do with Zion on page 21.
Social Key Recovery
Social Key Recovery is an optional feature that allows your trusted contacts to help you recover your
Vault.
When enabling Social Key Recovery, three to five contacts of your choice can
download an app that allows them to send you recovery data. Your recovery
data is spread out among multiple contacts, and heavily encrypted by the app
on your contact's phone. At least three contacts are needed to recover your
Vault.
