passing down bitcoin & crypto in switzerland
the legal framework for digital assets in switzerland is evolving. while local laws govern the 'who', deadhand handles the 'how'.
the technical challenge of digital legacy
seed phrases aren't made for humans. they're made for computers. 12 random words you've gotta keep safe forever and somehow pass to your family. it's a terrible system and everyone's just pretending it's fine.
when you deal with crypto, the stakes are even higher. a single mistake in access or backup means your wealth disappears into the void of the blockchain forever. probate courts can't help you recover a private key.
secure your crypto legacy
don't let your digital wealth die with you. set up a trustless dead man's switch in 5 minutes using industry-standard shamir's secret sharing.
initialize vaultwhy deadhand is the gold standard
unlike centralized exchanges or complicated multi-sig setups, deadhand uses math to protect your family. we split your secret into 3 shards. you keep one, your beneficiary keeps one, and we guard the third.
- sovereign: only 2 shards can reveal the secret. we can never access your coins.
- source-available: you don't have to trust us. you can verify the code on github. (bsl 1.1)
- no lock-in: if our servers disappear, you can recover using any standard SSS tool.
