The Problem

An estimated 3-4 million BTC are permanently lost — many because the owner died without sharing access. Traditional solutions require trusting lawyers, custodians, or family members with your keys while you're still alive.

Dead Man's Protocol solves this with a single Bitcoin transaction. Pre-signed, time-locked, encrypted. If you stop checking in, it activates. Your heir receives access. No middlemen.

How It's Built

Under the hood, Dead Man's Protocol uses Bitcoin's native time-lock opcodes — nLockTime and CheckLockTimeVerify (CLTV). The pre-signed transaction is created at setup and stored encrypted on your device.

Your heir receives an AES-256 encrypted backup file. The decryption key is only released when the time-locked transaction becomes valid on the Bitcoin network. The encrypted backup is useless without the key.

  • Pre-signed transactions with nLockTime / CLTV
  • AES-256 encrypted heir backup
  • Check-in periods: 3, 6, or 12 months
  • Multi-channel verification (app, email, Telegram)
  • Changeable and revocable at any time
