Some Ante Vaults are exposed to the Zodiac module vulnerability. The impact is largely contained:

• even if attacked, your vault can't be compromised until your grace period elapses, which is months for most vaults
• we notified users with material balances to withdraw as soon as it was disclosed yesterday

Remaining exposure is on the order of $100 total in vaults with very short cooldowns. If that's you, go to https://t.co/i74sf065I3 and withdraw. As a reminder, Ante Vaults are self-custodial — we can't move your funds for you.

We've paused new vault creation in the app and are working with the @zodiaceco and @_SEAL_Org teams on remediation.

We'll post additional updates as we have them.

basically this but for testing recovery and inheritance mechanisms

[Ante ⚙️ @AnteOrg]

Trust in a self-custody product takes time to build.

Any recovery or inheritance mechanism has to keep working long after launch, into the years after everyone stops paying attention.

That's why we're putting Ante Vaults’ core mechanism through a public, ongoing test. 👇

@owocki @lex_node I don't see social recovery as a competing alternative to self-custody as much as it is something that can make self-custody less brittle!

@AnteOrg also doesn't help when you approve a tx that drains your wallet because you couldn't read what you were signing

[AnteJon @AnteJon]

Slowness is a feature when it comes to custody.

[Ante ⚙️ @AnteOrg]

Most crypto recovery systems focus on who should get access.

That's not the hard part. The hard part is when.

Dead man's switches solve this — and the reason they work is that they're slow. 🧵

@JoinEdgeCity @EthCC miss y'all

@0xfornax @AnteOrg @safe @privy_io Yes -- we haven't pushed the UI for it live yet in the Ante web app (soon!) but in the meantime since it's a Safe underneath you can do all the usual Safe things like adding signers or DeFi through their UI.

(if you have an existing Safe, you can also import it to Ante Vaults!)

[AnteJon @AnteJon]

@0xfornax @AnteOrg Hi! Does the "Download Recovery Kit" button appear for you? It should contain instructions for withdrawing funds if the Ante web app is down.

Would love your feedback on how we can improve the recovery kit though!

Ante released vaults with time based social recovery

Read about it in today's letter:

Ethereum is building infrastructure that will last centuries.

Shouldn’t your plan for holding it last more than a lifetime?

If you met me at @JoinEdgeCity or @zuitzerland you know I've been obsessed with this for months. Excited to put this out into the world!

TL;DR: self-custody vault with time-based social recovery + inheritance
- Built on @safe and works with existing Safes
- set up from your phone with just an email (@privy_io) or BYO wallet

Billions of dollars in crypto are permanently locked. No recovery. No inheritance.

Today we’re launching Ante Vaults, a self-custody vault with time-based social recovery, simple enough to manage from your phone.

Now live on Ethereum + Base, no wallet required.

Last week we talked about the crypto handoff problem.

Every approach either gives up too much control, or leaves too much to chance.

What would a real solution look like? 🧵

[AnteJon @AnteJon]

@safe not just self-custody, but with time-based social recovery via @AnteVaults (built on @safe) so I don't need to worry about losing my keys

Crypto lets you truly own your wealth.

No bank can freeze it. No government can seize it.

But what happens if you lose your keys?
