why ledger recover is a risk

ledger recover relies on a kyc backup service model. this means you are ultimately trusting a third party with either your keys, your identity, or your recovery process.

the deadhand advantage

zero knowledge

we don't know who you are. we don't want your ID. we can't access your funds even if we wanted to.

math-based, no id, open source

unlike ledger recover, deadhand is built on pure math. no recurring fees, no permission asking.

shamir's secret sharing

we split your seed phrase into shards. mathematical security that doesn't rely on legal contracts.

protocol, not service

deadhand is designed to be a set-and-forget protocol. it works even if you disappear for 5 years.

secure your legacy.

stop renting your security from ledger recover. own it forever.

secure your vault

no credit card required to test.
