Deadhand is an open-source, non-custodial digital inheritance protocol designed for extreme privacy and resilience. Unlike traditional password managers or legal wills that rely on centralized servers or lawyers (single points of failure), Deadhand leverages decentralized cryptography to ensure your digital legacy is passed on—or destroyed—exactly as you intend.

Key Features:

Non-Custodial: We never hold your keys or secrets. Built on Shamir's Secret Sharing (SSS) and client-side encryption.
Dead Man's Switch: Automatically triggers after a predefined period of inactivity.
Emergency Protocols: Includes "Duress Mode" to wipe sensitive data instantly and "Nuclear Option" to permanently destroy keys if compromised.
Swiss Alignment: Engineered with the philosophy of Swiss banking secrecy—verify nothing, trust no one.
Perfect for crypto holders, journalists, and privacy advocates who demand sovereign control over their digital afterlife.
