deadhand vs sarcophagus

why sovereign individuals are switching from sarcophagus to deadhand protocol.

feature sarcophagus deadhand
trust model dao / web3 protocol ✔ non-custodial
cost gas + sarco tokens ✔ $400 lifetime
kyc required yes (identity risk) ✔ no (zero knowledge)
technology server-side ✔ client-side (shamir)
inheritance manual / legal ✔ dead man's switch
the bottom line: Sarcophagus charges you Gas + SARCO tokens and forces you to accept complex to manage, token volatility risk. deadhand is a one-time payment with zero kyc.

why sarcophagus is a risk

sarcophagus relies on a dao / web3 protocol 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.

no tokens needed, usdc/stripe payment

unlike sarcophagus, 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 sarcophagus. own it forever.

secure your vault
