protect my wallet · launching soon
The app opens on Ethereum soon
The vault contracts go live on Ethereum once the final audits are done. Until then this site is information only: nothing here asks you to connect a wallet or sign anything.
What you will be able to do
Connect the wallet you already use. The app makes your one-time hash keys on your device and opens a vault on Ethereum that only your keys can move.
Every move from the vault needs your normal key and a one-time hash key. Approve once, wait a few minutes while Ethereum records the action, and it goes through.
Evacuate everything to the exit address you chose, start the seven-day escape, or recover with your recovery key. No fee, no permission, and an exit page that talks to Ethereum directly.
How it will work
- 1You approve
The app shows the action in plain words. You confirm it once with your wallet.
- 2Ethereum records it
Your vault writes down exactly which action the next one-time key may sign. Written once, never changed.
- 3It settles
About eight minutes, until Ethereum treats the record as final.
- 4Sign and send
Only then does your device make the one-time signature, and the vault checks both keys before anything moves.
What it will cost
Once. Fixed forever. Plus gas.
Fixed forever. Plus gas, about $0.24 at today's gas.
Always free. Gas only.
Early access is free. Until WINTER launches, creating a vault and protected actions cost nothing but gas. Half of every fee is burned and half goes to the public canary bounty; none of it goes to anyone else.
