What we can’t see
Vague privacy claims are worthless. Here is exactly what each part of the system can learn about you, and what it can’t.

What we defend against, and what we don’t
Designed to resist
- Chain observers mapping owners to heirs. Nothing identifying is stored, and Merkle membership hides which leaf is acting.
- Replay and front-running. Owner proofs are bound to one action, chain and registry. Payout destinations are bound into claim proofs, and nullifiers are single-use.
- Double claims. There is one nullifier per beneficiary per vault.
- Guardian takeover of a live vault. Any owner check-in cancels the recovery round in progress.
- A minority of keepers going rogue or offline. Signing needs a threshold and a valid on-chain claim. The keeper network is in development.
- Us. We hold no secrets, and the registry has no admin key.
Known limits
- Bugs. A flaw in the circuits or contracts could break any of the above. Both are open for review.
- Threshold collusion. If enough keepers collude they can move funds or decrypt data. Requiring your own or your guardians’ share in the signing set narrows this.
- k colluding guardians can rotate your vault while you are not checking in. Pick guardians and k accordingly.
- Your device. If it is compromised, your owner secret is too.
- Metadata. Policy parameters, check-in timing and claim counts are public. Network-level observers can correlate timing unless you use Tor.
- Malicious frontend. Whoever serves the app code could, in principle, ship code that leaks secrets. Reproducible, verifiable builds are planned.
- Forgetting to check in. The vault will open. That is the point, so choose a period you can keep.
