Most people have a Bitcoin wallet, a bunch of passwords, and zero plan for what happens if they suddenly can't respond. That's the problem we're solving. 🔐 Zero-knowledge encryption ⛓ Stored permanently on Arweave 🔔 Inactivity switch — if you go silent, your people are notified Building in public. Follow along. 👇

Your crypto shouldn't die with you.

Encrypt locally. Store on-chain. Deliver automatically. Three sentences. One product. Zero trust required.

Somewhere right now, a family is trying to access their father's crypto. They found the Ledger. They don't know the PIN. They know he had Bitcoin. They can't prove it. They hired a lawyer. The lawyer can't help. 20 minutes of setup could have changed everything.

Your hardware wallet doesn't know you died. Your exchange doesn't care. The blockchain won't wait for your family to figure it out. The only person who can prepare for this is you. And the best time is today.

There are 4 million Bitcoin that will never be moved again. Not hacked. Not stolen. Just… lost. Because the owner died without a plan. Don't let your wallet become a digital tombstone.

Quick poll for crypto holders: If you were hospitalized for 6 months right now, could your family access your wallet? — Yes, they know everything — Yes, but it would take a while — No, but I have a plan — No, and honestly I haven't thought about it Be honest. I'm curious.

How we store your encrypted vault: 1. AES-GCM 256-bit encryption in your browser 2. PBKDF2 key derivation (600,000 iterations) 3. The key never leaves your device 4. Ciphertext uploaded to Arweave via Irys 5. TxID stored — permanent, immutable, censorship-resistant Even if our servers go down, your data doesn't. Zero-knowledge isn't a marketing term. It's the architecture.

Unpopular opinion: A password manager is actually BAD for estate planning. Your family needs access AFTER you're gone. Password managers need you alive to manage them. The solution isn't better passwords. It's a dead man's switch with zero-knowledge encryption.

Somewhere right now there's a Bitcoin wallet with $200,000 in it that no one will ever access. The owner passed away last year. The seed phrase is probably in a drawer somewhere. No one knows which drawer. We're building the tool that prevents this.

[7/7] This isn't just for crypto. Passwords. Letters to your kids. Business credentials. Things you want delivered — not leaked. The encryption code is open source. The ciphertext lives on a blockchain. You don't have to trust us. That's the whole point. → pingvaults.com

[6/7] The key insight: Your emergency contact receives: ✅ The questions to answer ✅ The TxID on Arweave ✅ The offline decryptor file They do NOT receive: ❌ Your answers ❌ Your encryption key ❌ Any plaintext Zero-knowledge. The server never knew.

[1/7] I spent 3 months thinking about a simple question: "If I died tomorrow, could my family access my crypto?" The answer was no. So I built something about it. 🧵

Hot take: Your Bitcoin is safer than your Bitcoin plan. The wallet? Encrypted. The seed phrase? Locked away. The person who knows where it is? Just you. What happens to your crypto if you're in a coma for 1 year? Most people don't have an answer. That's terrifying.
