Lose one key and nothing is lost. Steal one key and nothing moves.
01

We never ask for your phrase

Not to help, not to check, not to “verify”. You write it, you keep it, and it never passes through us.

02

We never hold your keys

Every key we help create belongs to you, your family or your team. We are teachers and witnesses, not custodians.

03

We never tell you what to buy

No price talk, no trading, no yield. We take no commissions from device makers. We only care that what you own is safe.

What we do

From $380 · with any plan

A key ceremony, start to finish

Slow on purpose. Done once, properly.

A key ceremony is the afternoon your vault is born. We bring the checklists and the patience; you bring sealed devices bought new from the maker. Nothing secret ever leaves the room.

Plan your signers

  1. Step 1 · Before

    A map, not a shopping list

    We agree who signs, where each key will live and what happens if someone can’t be reached.

  2. Step 2 · The table

    Open, check, generate

    Seals checked, devices verified, phrases generated and written by you. We watch the process, never the words.

  3. Step 3 · Rehearsal

    Sign, restore, sign again

    A small test deposit, a signature with every pair of keys and a full restore from backup before real funds arrive.

  4. Step 4 · After

    Written down, checked yearly

    You leave with a vault map and a letter of instruction draft. We check in each quarter with a drill reminder.

What clients say

“For the first time, recovery is something we have practiced, not a document we hope is right.”
Household vault client, Eldorado
“They spent an hour on what happens if I’m hit by a bus and five minutes on devices. That’s the right ratio.”
Recovery plan client, Los Alamos
“Our treasurer left in March. Because of the signing policy, rotating her key took a single afternoon.”
Team vault client, a nonprofit in Taos
