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.
🧵
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.
Community Notice: Zodiac Roles Modifier v2 and Delay Modifier v1.1.0 — Security Update
We identified a vulnerability in two Zodiac modules: Roles Modifier v2 and Delay Modifier v1.1.0. It affects only accounts where one of these modules is enabled AND a Safe account with a vulnerable fallback handler is itself assigned as a module or role member to the affected module.
Safe smart contracts, Safe{Wallet} infrastructure & UI are not affected.
Other Zodiac modules and setups are also not affected.
We've been working directly with affected users since identifying the issue. Over 95% of identifiable accounts have already resolved it.
If you have either module enabled and have not yet acted, check your account and follow the steps: https://t.co/1wWBSPehT7
We apologize for the disruption and concern this incident has caused. Our team is working as quickly as we can to support affected users and help wherever possible.
A full post-mortem will follow.

Trust in self-custody takes time to build.
That’s why Ante Vaults is running a live perpetual handoff loop on Ethereum mainnet, continuously demonstrating long-term recovery and asset continuity in public.
We set up 3 Ante Vaults in a continuous handoff loop: when one stops checking in, its assets transfer to the next.
Real ETH on Ethereum mainnet, demonstrating long-term crypto continuity with the same vaults designed to protect assets across generations.
The future of inheritance will include digital assets. Ante Vaults exists because of that.

“No, you don’t understand, boomers are actually really frugal, they never eat out and always pack a lunch, they definitely never do anything stupid with their disposable income, also their houses are full of consumer products that they’ve hoarded over the years for some reason.”
Security matters.
But so does accessibility when it matters most:
Ante Vaults is built for both.

It’s a lovely morning in the village, and you’re on a rocket halfway to Mars.
If you tried signing in to Ante Vaults with a Privy magic link, the 9 light-min roundtrip would take >10min, making the link invalid.
That’s why we have a recovery kit! https://t.co/XNp4TL7P2x
Ownership used to survive mistakes, accidents, absence.
Self-custody doesn't.
The real test of ownership isn't whether you control your assets today — it's whether that control can survive real life.

Protecting assets is important.
Protecting access across generations is the next challenge.

March closed like a statement quarter.

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. 👇
