Introduction
The Keyback mission is to empower individuals and businesses with trustless digital asset recovery solutions so they
can operate fully as secure sovereign entities.
Keyback is a multi-encrypted geo-decentralized backup and recovery system for crypto wallets and private keys. It’s
also an automated digital estate plan to pass digital assets on to loved ones after death.
We are committed to delivering a platform that ensures users' data remains confidential and accessible only to
designated beneficiaries in critical situations that meet programmable definitions.
Our existing Web 2.0 product currently meets the needs of the current age where digital assets are not effectively
catered to in the legal field. We have made significant strides in the field of secure cryptocurrency seed and key
management. It has garnered praise from industry players and users alike for its robust encryption, advanced security
protocols, and user-friendly interface.
The purpose of this grant proposal is to take Keyback to the next level by launching a decentralized autonomous
version. We envision a future where the integration of smart contracts on the Secret Network empowers our platform
with enhanced security, privacy, and functionality. This evolution will enable us to bring the benefits of blockchain
technology and decentralized applications to our users, ensuring that their data and assets remain protected in an
ever-evolving digital landscape.
With this grant, we seek the support of Secret Labs in realizing our vision for Keyback Web 3.0. By harnessing the
power of smart contracts and the Secret Network's decentralized and private architecture, we aim to create a cutting-
edge platform that sets new standards in autonomous asset recovery and transfer. Together, we can drive the growth
of the Web 3.0 ecosystem and offer users an unparalleled experience in safeguarding their digital legacies.
Keyback 2.0
Company Structure:
Keyback (https://keyback.io) is a product owned and operated by Eternal Digital Assets LLC based in Delaware,
United States. The co-owners are David Lister and Nic Fehlberg. They are both Australian citizens. Ivan is on contract
and is a part owner of the Keyback platform. They currently live and operate in Thailand.
Keyback Explained:
We have two 60 second videos explaining Keyback on our website at: https://keyback.io/media
Marketing Strategy:
Our marketing strategy is a combination of PR releases, back linking and articles for natural search, partnerships with
influencers and our in-house affiliate marketing platform which is white labeled from Tapfiliate. To find out more about
this, please see: https://keyback.io/affiliates
Keyback Infrastructure:
Our public facing web pages on keyback.io are built in Astro, repo’d on Github and hosted with Vercel.
The Keyback members area is split over 3 heavily locked-down cloud servers, with redundant backups. It was built in
Laravel and React.
Commerce:
We have a US-based business banking account (Mercury), which is connected to our Stripe account. We accept
payment by Visa and Mastercard via the Stripe API. We also accept payment with Bitcoin via a BTCPay server which
we run on our own cloud server.
Key Objectives of the Project:
Enhanced Security:
Implement cutting edge encryption and security protocols to multi-encrypt wallet seeds, private keys and other
plaintext data.
Privacy:
Leverage the privacy-preserving capabilities of the Secret Network to ensure that user data remains confidential,
allowing only those stakeholders defined in the contract access and privileges according to their role.
Seamless User Experience:
Design an intuitive and user-friendly dApp interface that simplifies the inherent complexity of working with smart
contracts, making Keyback Web 3.0 accessible to everyone regardless of their technical background.
Technologies and Tools:
Keyback Web 3.0 will solely rely on Secret Network smart contracts. By deploying these smart contracts as
standalone deadman switch instances on the Secret Network using a combination of available privacy protocols such
as FHE, MPC, ZKPs and the Trusted Execution Environment, we aim to become the standard for Digital Asset
backup/Recovery and Transfer.
