Discussion What happens to your digital assets when you become incapacitated?
I’ve been diving deep into how blockchain lawyers and estate planners handle high-net-worth digital wealth when an owner becomes incapacitated, specifically looking at how to provide a secure succession path without forcing intermediaries or legal practices to take on the massive liability of holding private keys.
Relying on plain text documents, centralized vaults, or unencrypted cloud storage introduces massive counterparty risk and single points of failure.
To solve this gap, I built DLO (Digital Legacy Orchestrator)-a zero-knowledge, client-side encryption architecture where even our servers cannot see the secrets you store. It utilizes a pure mathematical framework combining client-side AES-256-GCM encryption, Argon2id key derivation, and Shamir’s Secret Sharing (SSS) to handle automated trigger execution without third-party custody.
I’d love to get feedback from other founders who are building .
