AION seals it with math your heir can open without us — and artifacts they can actually hold. The free browser prototype is warning-labeled and pre-audit: practice with a throwaway secret, or book the founder-guided Founding Vault Ceremony beta.
The prototype opens with the Gate — seven commitments you accept before anything is sealed.

“Locked by math. Opened by love.”
A vault locks a secret in. AION makes sure your family can get it out.
What is shipping today, and what is still a commitment. AION will not photograph empty rooms and call them a network.
Math, geography, time, memory, trust, and physical reality reinforce each other. AION does not bet the user’s future on one clever lock.
Today the prototype creates seven local cryptographic shardswith a four-of-seven threshold — verifiable in your browser, every time. Phase 3 is the sovereign custody network: encrypted shard envelopes carried across separate jurisdictions, with stewardship agreements published on signature.
Dead-man-switch. Trustee quorum. Memory proof. Time-locked letters. A descendant in 2125can receive what was sealed without asking AION to decrypt it — the math itself enforces the wait, and the math itself releases.
Encrypted local artifacts today. Substrate permanence research — DNA, synthetic-quartz, paper QR, lunar archive — is documented as a roadmap at the Sanctuaries page. None of those tracks require AION to keep operating, and none of them are sold on the buyer path today.
Reykjavik, Dublin, Zurich, Toronto, Singapore, Auckland, Santiago — the design target. Loss of any three would be harmless; cooperation of four, unprecedented. Deployment status is in the Ledger above, not this map.
Sovereign recovery model
All 7 sovereigns standing. Threshold is 4 of 7.
Vault remains mathematically recoverable.
Any 4 unlock. Any 3 may be lost.
AION can become civilizational later. The first paid proof is narrower: crypto holders with family responsibility who will pay for trust, ceremony, instruction, and recovery artifacts — and every architectural choice is for a person living a hundred years from now.
Roadmap packages, not live purchase options. Premium tracks add more humans, more jurisdictions, and more permanence — only when those systems exist. The prototype is free today.
Substrate permanence research — DNA, synthetic quartz, lunar archive — is documented at /sanctuaries as roadmap, not sold as a paid tier today.
Roadmap principle: heirs inheriting an existing vault stay FREE · FOREVER
Locked by math.
Opened by love.
