The situation
Sound familiar?
Your crypto lives behind a seed phrase only you know. Without a plan, a lost hardware wallet — or your absence — can put the funds permanently out of reach. Sharing the phrase today is unsafe; leaving no guidance is worse.

What to prepare
Wallet and hardware-device context — which wallets exist, which device, which software, which chains.
Recovery-process instructions — how a recovery works, in the order it should be done.
Location of offline materials — where the backup card, safe, or deposit box is, and who has physical access.
Trusted contacts or professional support — who can help without needing custody.
High-sensitivity secret material — only where genuinely necessary, and only in a zero-knowledge Key holder.
What exists, where the hardware and offline material are, and what a recovery actually involves. Most of this is context, not secrets.

A Text Capsule with the instructions your heir would need, in order. Add the contacts who can help without ever holding your keys.

Seal only what must be secret
If a phrase or key truly has to be included, use a Key holder: encrypted in your browser, split 2-of-3, delivered only after your absence is verified.
2/3
A Key holder’s key is split into three shares: you hold one, your heir holds one, CAPSULENE holds one. Any two rebuild it; a single share reveals nothing. CAPSULENE never holds your assets and cannot decrypt a Key holder by itself.
No. Many people use CAPSULENE for recovery guidance, wallet locations, device context, and the instructions around their existing security setup. If highly sensitive secret material must be included, use the zero-knowledge Key holder and follow appropriate security practices.
Could CAPSULENE — or someone who breaches CAPSULENE — access my wallet?
CAPSULENE never holds your assets. For a Key holder, the service stores one of three key shares plus the encrypted envelope; a single share cannot rebuild the key, so stored server data alone cannot decrypt the secret. Guidance in a Text Capsule is processed by CAPSULENE for delivery, so keep secrets out of it.
Can I protect wallet files, not just a phrase?
Yes. A Key holder can encrypt whole files — a keystore, a wallet backup, a video walkthrough for your heir — under the same 2-of-3 shares. The encrypted files never leave your device: you store them wherever you trust, and only the shares can open them.
What if CAPSULENE disappears before my heir needs it?
Shares export as portable SLIP-39 recovery words, the file format is published, and a self-contained offline decryptor — one HTML file — opens everything with no internet and no CAPSULENE.
