Chapter 1 – Privacy: How CryptoLegacy Shields You from Coercion

CryptoLegacy encrypts asset data, ensuring privacy and preventing coercion until guardians or timeouts trigger distribution.

Imagine Bob, traveling abroad, suddenly detained without explanation. Authorities seize his laptop and phone, locking him out of his crypto holdings. They pressure his family, exploiting past tensions — like sibling rivalries — to gain access to his assets.

With multisig wallets, Bob’s family urgently coordinates signatures, immediately revealing his total balances. Under intense pressure, family conflicts escalate, making them vulnerable to manipulation.

Using shared mnemonics, beneficiaries instantly see Bob’s full crypto holdings, creating jealousy, mistrust, or coercion.

Traditional legal solutions? Slow, expensive, and ineffective — especially overseas under corrupt conditions.

CryptoLegacy solves this decisively:

• Trusted Guardians: Individuals Bob chooses in advance — such as close family, friends, or advisors — can securely initiate asset transfers into his CryptoLegacy contract before the timeout expires, but never gain direct access or control over his crypto holdings at any time. Their role is strictly limited to initiating the secure transfer after independently verifying Bob's situation and reaching the required threshold.

• Encrypted Asset Data: Bob’s detailed asset information — including main wallets and token addresses — is securely encrypted individually for each guardian and beneficiary. CryptoLegacy never stores sensitive personal data or contact details. Guardians and beneficiaries have no visibility of Bob’s crypto balances or asset specifics until guardians reach the required threshold to initiate transfers. Only after this threshold is met do guardians decrypt the asset data and securely transfer the assets into the CryptoLegacy contract. Beneficiaries gain visibility of asset details immediately after this transfer, allowing them to start claiming assets according to the predefined schedule. This ensures absolute confidentiality until the critical moment.

• Beneficiaries Claim Gradually: Beneficiaries immediately begin claiming assets according to a schedule Bob set in advance (gradually unlocking funds over weeks, months, or years). This controlled, partial access enables them to urgently support Bob (covering legal fees, expenses, or assistance), significantly reducing risks of misuse or external manipulation.

• Hidden Recovery Mechanism: Bob has already configured a hidden recovery mechanism, establishing three separate recovery addresses with a 2-of-3 threshold. These recovery addresses are stored separately, with only cryptographic hashes recorded in the CryptoLegacy contract, ensuring no connection or visibility until activated. This provides Bob secure and private emergency access if circumstances change.

Authorities gain nothing from seized devices or pressuring Bob’s family, eliminating leverage.

CryptoLegacy allows Bob’s family to help him immediately, while protecting privacy, preventing conflicts, and neutralizing coercion — exactly when it matters most.
