Prologue: Why Absence Changes Everything

Introducing CryptoLegacy: predefined on-chain execution rules that define what happens to your crypto when you cannot act.

Most crypto holders don’t like to think about it — but they absolutely should: What happens to your assets when you cannot act?

It’s uncomfortable to consider worst-case scenarios. Yet over long time horizons, the inability to act is not an edge case. Illness, device loss, legal or geopolitical constraints — these are not theoretical risks, but real conditions that eventually affect many long-term holders.

From the start, our belief has been simple: Your keys, your crypto. True self-custody is powerful — but it also carries responsibility beyond key management.

The hardest problem in decentralized finance isn’t technology. It’s execution when the owner cannot act.

Self-custody works perfectly while you can sign transactions. When you can’t, it provides no execution path on its own.

CryptoLegacy does not remove all risk. It replaces undefined execution with predefined assumptions.

If something goes wrong:

  • who can act?

  • under which conditions?

  • and can that action be stopped if the situation changes?

We’ve been working around this problem since 2017. Back then, the stakes felt lower. Today, with larger portfolios and longer horizons, the inability-to-act problem is impossible to ignore.

CryptoLegacy is built for this exact moment — not by replacing self-custody, but by extending it with predefined, on-chain rules for recovery and, if necessary, inheritance.

Hidden. Secure. Transferable.

Because ultimately, it’s not just about controlling assets while you are present — it’s about defining how execution works when the owner cannot act.

Your keys. Your crypto. Your legacy.
