Three thousand years of the same instinct: keep what matters safe.🔒
The methods changed every century. Now they change again.
This is the next chapter. Quantum-safe, non-custodial.
Follow along as we build it, together.
A recovery phrase written in English is a dead object to someone who only reads Korean.
The Universal Quantum Seed maps every word to one of 256 icons that carry the same meaning across 42 languages. Back it up in one language, restore it in another.
Still a seed phrase. Just one that doesn’t care what language you think in.

Q: 2M+ lines of code. Who's reviewing that?
A: Fair question. Open code isn't audited code. We're selecting independent audit partners, and the public repo gets updated after internal testing.

No backup survives contact with reality.
Paper fades, floods and burns. A metal plate is only as good as the drawer you forgot it in. A photo of a seed phrase is a seed phrase in someone else’s cloud.
Backups fail in the most ordinary ways imaginable.
Plan for ordinary.
Uncomfortable question: if you died tomorrow, does anyone else get your crypto?
Not “could they eventually work it out”. Actually get it.
Most self-custody plans are a single point of failure wearing a person.
Nobody wants to write this one down. Everyone should.
What LOCK does not protect you from:
Someone standing over you with a wrench. An attacker with physical DMA access to a running machine. A cold-boot attack on its memory.
All three are out of scope for any pure-software wallet, ours included.
Be wary of anyone whose security page has no limitations section.
6. What does it NOT protect me from?
Anyone answering “everything” is selling. Duress, physical DMA access and cold-boot attacks are out of scope for any pure-software wallet, ours included. It’s in the paper.
7. What happens to my money if you disappear?
Self-custody means the answer should be "nothing". Keys generated locally, on your machine, that keep working without us.
Ask us all seven. Ask everyone else too. the ones worth using won't mind.
LOCK IN. 🔒
