Project Overview
Problem Statement
K33P addresses one of crypto’s most urgent failures: the catastrophic loss of wallet access due to misplaced seed phrases. This is not a minor issue. Chainalysis (2024) reports over $140B in assets are permanently lost, breaking the core promise of self-sovereign wealth. With 15% of users permanently locked out, current solutions like fragile paper notes, complex hardware wallets, and insecure digital copies fail new adopters. This failure is acutely felt in communities like Nigeria, where it creates a regenerative economic drain: lost capital and shattered trust stifle the very decentralization meant to empower them. K33P exists to fix this critical point of failure, transforming security from a technical vulnerability into a foundation for financial resilience and renewed trust in emerging digital economies.
Solution Summary
K33P is a self-custodial digital vault designed to give users secure, private, and identity-bound storage for their most sensitive Web3 information, like seed phrases and documents, with Next-of-Kin (NOK) inheritance capability.
