What is Satskeeper?
Satskeeper is a new service that makes Bitcoin inheritance safe and simple for everyone. With more and more people turning to Bitcoin as a way to store and transfer wealth, Satskeeper addresses the challenges associated with Bitcoin inheritance and ensures that your coins are passed on to your loved ones when you die. Below we will lay out the key design decisions and features of Satskeeper.
Setup agnostic
Satskeeper makes it easy and secure to document your Bitcoin setup, regardless of your preferred storage method. Whether you have your Bitcoin stored in a hardware wallet, software wallet, or multi-sig wallet, Satskeeper is designed to work with a wide range of storage setups, giving you the greatest degree of flexibility to design a storage solution that is best suited for your circumstances.
Jurisdiction agnostic
Satskeeper is a versatile tool that can be incorporated into any legal framework, making it accessible to people all over the world, regardless of where they live. Unlike other approaches, Satskeeper is not focused on one particular jurisdiction and can be used by anyone, anywhere.
Data security
A cornerstone of Satskeeper is the security of your inheritance plan. All critical data is encrypted locally before being uploaded to Satskeeper, ensuring that we cannot access your data. Additionally, data is only shared with your heirs once you have passed away, maintaining the highest degree of privacy until the time comes for your coins to be passed on.
Guided inheritance plan
With Satskeeper, you securely document information about your recovery words, exchange accounts, devices, and other important information that is needed to access your assets. The resulting Bitcoin inheritance plan is encrypted and saved in your Satskeeper account.
Regular Proof-of-Life check
The Satskeeper team regularly performs a proof of life check to determine if you are still alive. If all attempts to reach you via email, SMS, and phone call fail, we then reach out to your heirs to provide your encrypted inheritance plan and assist them with the recovery process.
