Best Combined Backup and Inheritance Solution for Crypto

Protecting your cryptocurrency is not just about securing it against hackers — it’s about ensuring you, and later your heirs, can always access it
The Cryptnox Hardware Wallet offers the best combined backup and inheritance solution for crypto, designed to keep your assets safe both during your lifetime and beyond

Why Backup and Inheritance Matter

When you hold cryptocurrency, you hold full control of your assets
That means you also carry the responsibility to protect them. Losing your keys means losing access forever — and without a backup or inheritance plan, your funds could disappear with you.

The Cryptnox dual-card system solves both problems at once, giving you a secure and practical way to manage recovery and estate transfer

The Cryptnox Dual-Card System

When setting up your Cryptnox wallet, you can initialize two cards — a Primary Card and a Backup Card. Both cards store your wallet keys inside a certified secure chip
Your seed phrase never appears on screen and never leaves the hardware

Each card is protected by its own PIN and PUK, offering multi-layered security for recovery and management

How It Works

Step 1

Initialize the wallet with the Cryptnox app and two cards

Step 2

Securely generate the seed inside the cards — it never leaves the hardware

Step 3

Set unique PIN and PUK codes for each card

Step 4

Test both cards with a small transaction to confirm the backup and recovery functions

This process ensures your crypto remains accessible even if your main card is lost or destroye

How to Store Your Cards Safely

For maximum protection and inheritance readiness:

Store the Backup and access card in a bank safe, ideally linked to your personal bank account. This way, it automatically becomes part of your estate assets and can be accessed by your legal heirs if needed

Keep the Primary Card with you for everyday use. Alongside it, store a copy of your PIN and PUK — kept securely and separately from the card itself

This approach allows you to manage your wallet, re-pair or pair it with a mobile phone if required, without needing to visit your bank vault every time

Planning for Inheritance

Inheritance in crypto requires foresight. There is no “password recovery” once a wallet owner is gone. With your Cryptnox backup card, you can safely include your assets in your estate planning process


Steps to Prepare:

  • Designate a trusted person or executor to inherit your crypto

  • Store the Backup (Access) Card in your bank safe, linked to your account so it becomes part of your estate

  • Document the PIN and PUK in a sealed envelope or legal record

  • Reference the wallet in your will so your heir knows how to recover the assets

Your heir can then use the Cryptnox Wallet app to access the backup card and manage your funds according to your wishes

Best Practices

  • Keep your PIN and PUK offline and in separate locations

  • Never share your wallet details through email or cloud storage

  • Test your backup setup regularly with small transactions

  • Update your documentation whenever your holdings change
