Sead is a self-custodial and decentralized seed phrase management ecosystem designed to give you complete ownership and control over your digital assets. It’s built around several key components:

• Sead Tool: The core application you use to manage your seed phrases securely and independently, without relying on any central authority.
• Sead Safe: A protective vault for securely storing, backing up, and accessing some key elements, ensuring that only you have the keys to your digital wealth.
• Sead Directives: An advanced feature that lets you create rules and instructions for future scenarios, such as what happens to your seed phrases if certain conditions are met over time.
• Sead Trusted People: A secure mechanism to involve trusted individuals in the management or eventual transfer of your seed phrases, should you choose to do so.
• Sead Guidance Hub & AI Coach 3.0: A dedicated support system that offers personalized coaching, guidance, and best practices to help you confidently navigate all aspects of seed phrase management.

Because this question touches on all of Sead’s capabilities, the best way to fully understand each feature is to consult our detailed documentation. In essence, however, Sead empowers you to maintain control and ownership of your seed phrases, manage them throughout their entire lifecycle, and tailor how they are preserved or passed on—all with personalized coaching and support.

Sead ensures security by keeping you in sole control of your sensitive information. As a fully self-custodial and decentralized solution, Sead never stores your seed phrases or their associated data (like QR codes). This means no one but you has access to your seed phrases.

For the minimal account-related data that Sead does handle, such as login credentials, we use one-way encryption. Your passwords are stored in a format that’s impossible to reverse-engineer, ensuring that even Sead cannot read them. Additionally, no sensitive information ever sits on a central server; instead, it’s decentralized to further minimize risks. In short, you remain the exclusive custodian of your critical information at all times.

Sead understands the importance of planning ahead. Our "Sead Directives" feature lets you set precise instructions for what should happen to your data under specific conditions, including your passing. This means you can predefine the inheritance of your seed phrases or any other future scenarios, not only tied to inheritance but also triggered by time-based conditions or other events. You’re fully in control, ensuring your digital legacy is handled exactly the way you intend.
