We believe no family should lose access to their loved one's digital legacy.
CharonPass was founded by crypto holders who experienced firsthand what happens when someone passes without leaving instructions. We built the tool we wished had existed.
The problem we're solving
$140B+
in crypto permanently inaccessible
Not stolen — just locked away because no one had the instructions.
73%
of holders have no succession plan
Most people know they should do this. Almost none actually do.
20-25%
of all Bitcoin lost forever
Some estimates suggest a quarter of all Bitcoin is in wallets that will never be accessed again.
The solutions that existed were built for technically sophisticated, high-net-worth users. None of them were built for the average person with $20,000 in Bitcoin who just wants their spouse to be okay.
Our approach
Three principles guide everything we build.
Non-custodial. Always.
We never hold, see, or transmit your private keys or seed phrases. We are physically incapable of accessing your crypto. We are a documentation tool, not a custody service.
Plain English. Not tech.
Everything in CharonPass is written for someone who doesn't know what a seed phrase is. Our guides use plain English instructions that any family member can follow on the worst day of their life.
Dead Man's Switch. Built in.
The Dead Man's Switch is the core feature. It's the mechanism that ensures your guides actually reach your family at the right time, without requiring anyone to know your passwords.
Our values
Privacy First
We never see your keys, your assets, or your financial details. Your data belongs to you.
Radical Transparency
We're open about what we store, how we store it, and what happens with your data.
Human-Centered
Every design decision starts with a simple question: can a grieving non-technical family member do this?
Security by Default
AES-256 encryption at rest, TLS in transit, GDPR compliant. Security is not a feature — it's the foundation.
“My uncle passed with $40,000 in Bitcoin. We never found the keys. That conversation — watching my aunt cry because she knew the money existed but couldn't reach it — is why CharonPass exists.”
— Founder, CharonPass
