What is EncryptFire?

It's a system first ... and a web app second

The System

Sure, anyone can encrypt a backup. But EncryptFire was designed specifically to do it without the complexity—no tech skills required. Simple password-protected files protect your sharded data, while keeping your seed phrases secure and invisible to prying eyes.

EncryptFire uses a brilliantly simple but powerful method to encode your seed words. Someone could stare right at your files and still have no idea what they’re looking at. It’s called a cipher map—an old-school obfuscation technique that’s as hard to guess as your seed phrase itself. Each cipher map is unique to your backup.

And here’s the kicker: you can recreate the entire system on paper. No joke.

With just three sheets of paper, scissors, some sticky tape, and a pen, you can manually build the same type of hardened backup. No passwords, no app—just the same underlying logic. EncryptFire takes that method, upgrades it with encryption, portability, and decentralization, and makes it fast and easy. That simplicity at the core is what makes it so powerful.

The App

✔️ Triple-layer protection: Cipher map for obfuscation, AES-256-CBC encryption with salted 32-character passwords, and sharded offline storage.
✔️ Truly offline: The app stores nothing. Everything runs in live browser memory and vanishes the moment you close the tab.
✔️ Open by design: No black-box nonsense. Standard, battle-tested JavaScript libraries handle the cryptography. The code is readable, auditable, and transparent.
✔️ Dead simple UI: The wizard-style interface walks you through each step. Backup and restore with just a few clicks.

Two backup options:

• Standard / Simple mode: Creates a password-protected PDF using 128-bit encryption. Doesn’t require the app to restore—great for non-technical users.
• Full / Pro mode: Encrypts your PDF’s data at 256-bit strength. Requires the EncryptFire app to restore, but still just a matter of loading the file and entering your password.

Both methods harden your cold storage. Both support deadman switch strategies so you can securely pass on your crypto—on your terms. That means your assets can outlive your devices, your memory, or even you—without relying on exchanges, lawyers, or third-party vaults.

EncryptFire runs in any modern browser offline. We strongly recommend using a fresh browser (like Firefox, Brave, Opera, or Edge) that isn’t your default and has no extensions enabled. Start fresh, stay clean.

You can use EncryptFire as many times as you like. Back up multiple wallets with one cipher map—or create a new one each time. Your choice.

🔐 TRUSTLESS SECURITY

The Bottom Line

✅ AES‑256‑CBC with unique salt and IV — Trusted, tested, and quantum‑resistant
✅ 32‑character random passwords — Practically unbreakable by today’s standards
✅ Runs 100% offline — No cloud, no trackers, no phoning home
✅ Fully transparent code — No DRM, no mystery code, you can vet every line of code independently

“If quantum computers ever break AES‑256, the internet collapses well before your encrypted files on USB sticks.”

How EncryptFire Keeps You Safe

✅ Uses proven open-source encryption libraries — no proprietary black boxes
✅ App runs locally in your browser — nothing is ever sent or stored online
✅ Every backup uses a fresh, randomly generated cipher — no repeats, no shortcuts
✅ Memory is cleared on refresh or close — nothing lingers, nothing leaks

“All our logic is visible to the user. No server calls. No storage in-browser. Just tight cryptography, all in plain sight.”

Why We Built ENCRYPTFIRE

Not everyone runs a node, shards keys with Shamir, or layers multisig. But if you believe “Not your keys, not your crypto,” you already know secure backups are non-negotiable.

EncryptFire was built for Bitcoiners who take self-custody seriously — no cloud, no DRM, no bloat. Just a lean, offline tool with nothing between you and your keys.

Because if you're going to be your own bank, your backups better act like vaults.

In self-custody, transparent and dependable beats complex and opaque. With EncryptFire, you don’t have to trust — you can verify.

🚨 Level Up!

1️⃣ One Failure = Total Loss

Not having a backup means one mistake, one accident, one breach = total loss.
But keeping only one backup minimizes exposure risk—so how do you secure multiple backups without increasing risk?
ENCRYPTFIRE's toolset allows you to harden your seed phrases, private keys, and credentials so you can store them safely across multiple offline, redundant locations.

2️⃣ Ditch Password Managers

Saving sensitive crypto keys and seed phrases in a password manager puts your entire wealth at risk.
If your password manager is hacked, so is your entire portfolio.
ENCRYPTFIRE lets you store your credentials securely offline—completely disconnected from internet threats. Your keys are encrypted and stored in a way that only you can access them. No more worrying about online hacks or breaches.

3️⃣ Offline, Hardened Cold Storage

Major crypto exchanges like Coinbase & Gemini use elaborate offline cold storage systems.
Think of ENCRYPTFIRE as your own personal version—but without trusting a third party.
You control the access, the encryption, and the backup locations. Your keys, your crypto!

4️⃣ The Crypto Widow Problem

In most relationships and families, only one person holds the crypto assets and account logins.
If that person dies unexpectedly, the rest of the family is locked out forever. We call this the "Crypto Widow" problem.
ENCRYPTFIRE ensures your family can access your crypto assets if something happens to you.

Zero strategy 😋 Totally got this… right? 😅 My plan? Hide it in
the sock drawer 😆

Hiding your seed phrase is not a security plan

If you've ever had that quiet thought — "what if I lose access?" — you're not alone. Most people either avoid thinking about it… or they try to improvise with what’s lying around.

Peace of Mind, Built In

Peace of mind doesn't come from the storage device — it comes from knowing you’ve planned for failure, recovery, and even the unexpected.

Because real security isn’t just about where you store your keys — it’s about how you prepare for what life might throw at you. Fires, floods, mistakes, lost passwords, even the unthinkable. Peace of mind means you’ve thought it through… and set things up so your future self — or your family — won’t be scrambling in a crisis.

It’s not paranoia — it’s just not leaving things to chance. When your backup’s solid, you can stop worrying and get on with life.

🔥 CRYPTO HORROR STORIES

A big banking family, tech mogul, entrepreneur and an IT specialist.

Elon Musk

"I literally own zero cryptocurrency, apart from 0.25 BTC that a friend sent me many years ago. I have no idea where it is." – Elon Musk (2017)

Even the world's most tech-savvy billionaire lost track of his Bitcoin holdings. Without proper backup and redundancy, even small amounts (which can increase in value over time) can be permanently lost.

Matthew Mellon

As an ambassador of Ripple Labs, Matthew Mellon held $1 billion in XRP.
After his death, his family scrambled to recover his fortune.
Stored his digital keys in cold storage, under different people's names—but without proper access planning, his family couldn't retrieve the assets.

Gerald Cotten

Founder of QuadrigaCX, one of Canada's biggest crypto exchanges.
Held $250 million in customer funds—but died unexpectedly with all private keys.
He had joked about storing his keys in a bank deposit box and in a safe in the attic rafters, but no one else had access when he passed.

James Howells

In 2013, IT engineer James Howells accidentally threw away a hard drive containing 8,000 BTC (now worth hundreds of millions).
Despite extensive searches and recovery attempts, his Bitcoin remains lost in a landfill.
This serves as a reminder: Digital assets must be backed up securely, with redundancy and recovery planning.
