When you may need a backup plan
Your crypto stays under your control. But if you cannot access it, sign, or coordinate in time, what happens next needs to be set in advance.
Different situations.
The same missing layer.
BeneficiaryGuardianRecoveryWhen time cannot wait
Some situations need money fast. The money may be there, but you may not be able to access or transfer it in time.
A medical emergency can create urgent costs while you are unable to act. Your family may know the money is there but still have no way to cover those costs.
Funds for medical care can already have a defined path.
A sudden move or border crossing can create same-day costs. Your usual wallet or signing setup may not be available when you need the funds.
Funds for an urgent relocation can already have a defined path.
When you cannot sign
Your money is still yours, but you may not be able to safely review and sign a transaction when action is needed.
During a hospital stay or recovery, you may not be able to review and sign safely. Without a plan, access to needed funds may still depend on your signature.
Funds needed during your recovery can already have a defined path.
Weak internet, no trusted device, or no private place can make signing unsafe. You should not have to use an insecure setup just because action is needed.
Funds you need can have a defined path without relying on an unsafe signing setup.
When access breaks
Your assets can still be safe even if the device, backup, or setup you use to access them fails. You still own them, but you may lose the ability to act.
A backup can be damaged, far away, or impossible to reach when your device fails. It may still exist, but you may not be able to use it when action is needed.
Your assets can already have a defined path that does not depend on that backup.
Losing a phone or laptop can take away the setup you rely on. Your assets may still be safe, but you may no longer be able to act.
The plan defines who can start the process — without access to your wallet.
When others depend on the money
Some of your money may already be meant for family, business continuity, or shared needs. If you cannot act, it still needs a clear path.
Payroll, contractor payments, supplier costs, and other operating needs may depend on a reserve. If you cannot act, the money may be there but still be unavailable to the business.
That reserve can already have a defined path.
Housing costs or other urgent shared needs may require money when you cannot act. The money may be there, but the people who need it may still have no way to receive it.
Funds for a shared emergency can already have a defined path.
Nothing changes. Your assets remain under your control. But if you lose access or cannot act, there is no plan to carry out your instructions.
No. Your assets stay in your wallet. You choose which assets and amounts the plan covers — for example, only an emergency fund. Approval does not move anything by itself; transfers can happen only under your rules.
No. They never receive your keys or control your assets. They can only help start the process you defined in advance.
Self-custody keeps you in control while you can use your wallet. It does not define what should happen if you lose access or cannot act. CryptoLegacy lets you set that path in advance without giving up control.
Yes — during the waiting period. Once it ends, transfers can proceed only under the rules you set in advance.
They solve different parts of the problem. Multisig still needs enough signers to act, shared keys create custody and security risks, and legal documents cannot move crypto on-chain by themselves. CryptoLegacy adds a predefined transfer path without giving anyone your keys.
