Everything Legacy Wallet does, and exactly how.
An inheritance product is only worth what you can verify about it. These pages describe the wallet, the switch and the vault as they are actually built — including the parts we have not finished.

The questions people ask first.
The Switch
How the Switch works
The full state machine — heartbeat, silence, claim, challenge, finalize — and who can do what at each stage.
The Switch
Setting up the Switch
The full setup, in order, with the step people skip and the reason it matters.
The Switch
What your heir inherits
Exactly what passes on, exactly what does not, and the difference that catches most people out.
Legacy Vault
Adding your first vault item
Creating, naming and scoping an item — and what happens to it the moment you save.
For heirs
You have been named an heir
What that means today, the one thing you must do now, and what happens years from now.
Security
Where your keys live
What is stored on your device, what is stored nowhere, and what an attacker would actually have to do.
Still stuck?
Tell us what you were doing and what you expected — never your recovery phrase, private key, or a vault passphrase. Nobody from Legacy Wallet will ever ask for those.
