A dead man's switch is a switch designed to be activated or deactivated if the human operator becomes incapacitated, such as through death, loss of consciousness, or being bodily removed from control
Sarcophagus is decentralized, open-source and DAO owned + operated. We believe bringing dead man's switch functionality to the web3 ecosystem can empower and provide security infrastructure for an entire generation of applications, regardless of their size. We believe everyone, including individuals, should have the right to affordable, accessable, immutable secret storage and recovery.
Sarcophagus is designed to allow recovery at custom intervals, when the payload is available for decryption based on a lack of response from the creator. A more complete backup system than traditional recovery mechanisms.
There are nearly unlimited use cases for Sarcophagus. It is useful in any situation where a user may want to release information in the event they are removed or no longer in control.
