Chapter 0 - Choosing the Right Path for Your Crypto Legacy
CryptoLegacy protects your crypto from unexpected events — ensuring secure asset recovery, private emergency access, trusted guardians, and seamless inheritance.
Most crypto holders prioritize security — but overlook one critical question:
What happens to your crypto if something unexpected happens to you?
The decision you make today determines whether you maintain full control over your assets during unexpected situations — and whether your loved ones can smoothly inherit your crypto legacy — or face confusion, irreversible loss, and family conflicts.
Here are the common options, and why they often fail:
Multisig Wallets: Popular, but risky. Losing just one key could permanently lock your crypto. Balances remain visible, attracting hackers or family disputes.
Mnemonic Sharing (Seed Phrases): Simple, but fragile. A single misplaced phrase or compromised fragment could result in permanent loss.
Custodial Exchanges: Convenient, yet dangerous. You’re trusting a third party with your assets — exposed to hacks, insolvency, or regulatory freezes.
Traditional Legal Inheritance: Slow, expensive, complicated — especially across borders. Courts, lawyers, bureaucracy, delays, and high costs.
Social Recovery Wallets: Appealing, yet vulnerable. Relationships shift; trust changes. Your crypto depends entirely on human trust.
Multi-Party Computation (MPC): Technically advanced but fragile. MPC splits your private key among multiple parties — but if enough parts are lost or compromised, access is permanently gone. There’s no way to automate inheritance logic like time delays, recovery, or gradual unlocks. It’s still manual and trust-dependent.
DIY Solutions (Custom Smart Contracts): Attractive for tech-savvy users — but complex and risky. One small mistake could permanently lock your crypto. Individual setups can never match widely-tested solutions.
And then there’s CryptoLegacy:
CryptoLegacy is a self-custody solution specifically designed for unexpected life events, secure inheritance, and reliable asset recovery — combining the strengths of other methods without their associated risks.
Hidden. Secure. Transferable.
Hidden Privacy: Assets, balances, and beneficiaries remain private until asset transfers are triggered — either automatically after a timeout expires or manually by trusted Guardians.
Trusted Guardians: Guardians are trusted individuals you choose — family, friends, or advisors. If something happens to you, Guardians can initiate the distribution of your crypto assets before the timeout expires, but they never have direct access to your funds. For example, under a 2-of-3 threshold, two Guardians must independently confirm you're unreachable. Only then can they decrypt your asset information and securely transfer assets to the CryptoLegacy contract.
Assets Always Under Your Control: Your crypto is never stored within the contract itself; instead, it stays securely across multiple wallets on different blockchains. You retain complete daily access and control over all your assets until the moment distribution is triggered.
Built-in Secure Recovery: A secure recovery plugin ensures your assets remain accessible — even if your keys or devices become compromised, lost, or stolen. You can set up any number of Recovery addresses stored securely as hashes, untraceable to your CryptoLegacy contract, and define a threshold, such as 2-of-3. In an emergency, you or your Guardians can securely withdraw assets from all your primary wallets into the CryptoLegacy contract and then safely transfer them to new addresses.
Automated & Reliable: Transfers occur exactly as planned — automatically, privately, and without involving lawyers, courts, or complicated processes. There are no disputes over shares or timing; everything is predefined by smart contract code and cannot be changed.
Flexible & Compatible: Instantly update beneficiaries, wallets, or asset distribution plans as your life evolves. CryptoLegacy seamlessly integrates NFTs, DeFi positions (e.g., Uniswap), token swaps, and assets across multiple blockchains into your emergency or inheritance plan, ensuring maximum flexibility and compatibility.
CryptoLegacy delivers more than just security — it provides absolute clarity, certainty, and peace of mind.
Your crypto deserves more than secure storage — it deserves a guaranteed legacy.
Choose Privacy. Choose Certainty. Choose CryptoLegacy.
Your keys. Your crypto. Your legacy.
