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.
we don't know who you are. we don't want your ID. we can't access your funds even if we wanted to.
unlike ledger recover, deadhand is built on pure math. no recurring fees, no permission asking.
we split your seed phrase into shards. mathematical security that doesn't rely on legal contracts.
deadhand is designed to be a set-and-forget protocol. it works even if you disappear for 5 years.
stop renting your security from ledger recover. own it forever.
