I'm building PingVaults, and I wanted to start a discussion about something we all avoid thinking about: our digital mortality.
We secure our seed phrases, 2FA codes, and private keys with absolute paranoia. But this paranoia becomes a fatal flaw if something unexpected happens to us. If you pass away, how does your family access your digital assets without you leaving a massive security hole right now?
I wasn't happy with trusting centralized "password managers" with my plaintext keys, so I decided to build a Zero-Knowledge Dead Man's Switch.
A zero-knowledge digital estate vault. Securely encrypt your crypto keys, passwords, and final notes locally in your browser. Ciphertexts are permanently stored on Arweave. If you stop responding to our periodic check-ins, an automated inactivity switch delivers decryption instructions directly to your emergency contacts. No passwords to remember. The server never sees your secrets. Trust the math, not us.
