When Seeds Fail,
RITREK Recovers.
Protecting your Bitcoin.
The hidden cracks in Bitcoin self-custody
When Control Breaks
Single Point of Failure
Your seed phrase is your only key. It's your entire identity and access, with no traditional backup. If it's lost or destroyed, your access is gone forever.
The Storage Dilemma
Finding a truly safe place to store your seed phrase is nearly impossible. Paper can burn, physical devices can fail, and storing it on a cloud service exposes you to hacks.
Every Backup is a Vulnerability
Creating copies of your seed phrase introduces new vulnerabilities and forces a difficult choice between the risk of loss and theft.

Our Solution
Recovery in 3 Simple Steps
Step 1
Choose Your Custodian
Select a trusted custodian as the secure destination of your recovery plan. They never have access to your private keys.
Step 2
Sign & Store Securely
Privately pre-sign your recovery transactions from your preferred wallet, and choose an optional grace period (i.e. 90 days). Your seed phrase remains safe and secret, and the transactions are not broadcast yet.
Step 3
Recover in a Click
When needed, trigger the recovery through our app. Your transactions will be broadcast and your Bitcoin will be accessible in your custodian account after the grace period.

Frequently Asked
Questions
What is RITREK for?
RITREK protects your Bitcoin. We provide a secure safety net for your Bitcoin. You remain in full self-custody, and if access to your wallet is ever lost - for any reason - your coins can be securely transferred to your account with a trusted custodian or bank of your choice.
How does the recovery process work?
Four steps:
- Planning: choose a trusted custodian or bank and create a private account under your name. The custodian will provide you with a private designated long-term Bitcoin address.
- Preparation: using your own wallet and keys, you create pre-signed transactions that send your coins to this long-term address. These signed transactions will be kept – but not broadcasted to the Bitcoin network.
- Setup: your signed transactions are securely stored with RITREK, and you may also keep a copy yourself if you wish. Storing it online is completely safe – even if the file is exposed, your funds remain protected and recoverable.
- Execution: if disaster strikes and access to your wallet is lost, you or any designated contacts can broadcast the transactions with just a click. No passwords, no secret keys, no permissions. Nothing that might fail in real time. A 90-day (customizable) safety period begins, after which the funds are transferred to your custodian or bank – claimable by you or your legal heirs. No one else.
How do I get started with RITREK?
We are currently developing our platform and have an active waitlist for early adopters. Joining the waitlist gives you priority access at launch. We’ll then guide you step by step through the process. Important: you will never be asked to share private information - passwords, private keys, passphrases, or login credentials remain 100% yours.
What if the recovery process gets triggered against my will?
RITREK provides robust monitoring. If the process is triggered, you and your trusted contacts are notified across all channels. You can easily cancel within the 90-day safety window. Even if an adversary accessed the transaction, it could only move funds into your designated custodian/bank account - never elsewhere.
What kind of information will I be asked to share?
RITREK is built for privacy and self-sovereignty. The only information you may provide is basic contact details (name, email, phone) for yourself, your attorney, or heirs - so we know whom to notify. You will never be asked to share private keys, passwords, or login credentials.
What if I change my mind or circumstances?
As long as you still control your wallet, everything can be changed or cancelled at any time. You can replace custodians, change your recovery address, reallocate funds, edit trusted contacts, or cancel your plan entirely.
Why do I need RITREK if I'm very careful with my seed phrase?
RITREK is your safety net for the unexpected. Even the most careful individuals can face accidents, emergencies, or simple mistakes. With RITREK, your Bitcoin is protected from being lost forever.
When will RITREK be fully available?
Our MVP is in final development. Early access will open soon for waitlist members.
How much does RITREK cost?
Pricing will be simple and transparent. Early waitlist members will receive priority access and special pricing.
Is RITREK compatible with my hardware wallet?
Yes. RITREK already works seamlessly with Electrum, so you can sign your plan with your existing hardware wallet. We are expanding direct support to additional wallets to make setup even easier.
Is RITREK only for Bitcoin?
Yes. RITREK focuses exclusively on Bitcoin to maximize security and reliability.
How is RITREK safer than just making a copy of my seed phrase?
A copied seed can be stolen and used immediately if discovered. It can also be lost or misused by heirs. A RITREK backup transaction is different: it is secure, reveals nothing about your keys, and can only ever transfer funds into your designated custodian/bank account - never anywhere else.
