deadhand
your crypto shouldn't die with you
What it does
Deadhand is the ultimate fail-safe for your digital assets. A non-custodial inheritance protocol built on Shamir's Secret Sharing (SSS). We never hold your private keys. Instead, we split them into shards: you keep one, your beneficiary gets one, and the protocol guards the third. If you fail to check in (Heartbeat), the switch activates, reconstructing the key for your heir. Don't let your crypto die with you. Mathematical security, no lawyers required.

I wrote this Go project to implement a dead man’s switch that didn’t rely on cron jobs, timers, databases, etc on the infra it runs on. Deadcheck integrates to PagerDuty and keeps a long running incident snoozed until expected check-in times where it’ll alert unless a check-in occurs.

Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
