ShardKeep

The only password vault that survives the company that built it.

The Problem

Every password manager is a single point of failure.

Centralized custody is the breach

LastPass (2022): encrypted vaults stolen — millions still being cracked offline.
Okta, 1Password, Norton, Plex — all breached in the last 36 months.
If the company shuts down, you lose access. If it gets hacked, you lose everything.
Users are forced to trust a vendor's servers, employees, jurisdiction, and uptime.

The model is broken. Storing every user's secrets in one place is asking to be robbed.

The Solution

Split the secret. Distribute the trust. Anchor it on Solana.

1

Shamir Split

Each password is split into 5–12 cryptographic shards. No single shard reveals anything. A configurable threshold (3-of-5, 7-of-12) is required to reconstruct.

2

Distributed Storage

Shards live across an independent operator network — Wardens, Bastions, and Sentries — each holding anonymous blobs with no user metadata.

3

On-Chain Map

The shard map is encrypted client-side and minted as a compressed NFT on Solana. Even ShardKeep can't read it.

Not even ShardKeep knows where your passwords are.

How It Works

Architecture in one glance.

Client (Browser Extension)

Wallet-derived AES-256-GCM key encrypts the vault. Shamir splits the secret. Shard map encrypted before it ever leaves the device.

Solana Program

cNFT shard map · subscription state · access control · 2FA backup wallet · emergency lockdown · operator bond escrow · Merkle reward roots.

Operator Network

Wardens coordinate · Bastions store · Sentries verify. Heartbeat challenges every cycle. Bonded SHRD. Slashing for misbehavior.

Operator Blindness

Server purges shard→node mapping after distribution. Operators hold opaque blobs. Even a full server breach exposes zero user data.

Product

Five tiers. From free to family to fortress.

Tier	Price	Vault	Shamir	Rotation	Highlight
Pawn	Free	20 entries	3-of-5	Manual	Onboarding tier
Knight	$1.50/mo	40 entries	4-of-7	Weekly	2FA backup wallet
Bishop	$3/mo	250 entries	5-of-9	Daily	Dark-web monitoring
Rook	$10/mo	500 entries	5-of-9	Daily	6 household seats
Queen	$25 + $3/seat	Unlimited	7-of-12	Daily	Breach insurance

Pay in fiat or SHRD. Subscriptions settle on-chain — 95% to treasury, 5% to insurance pool.

Market & Timing

A $4B password market meets a $1.8B auth market — both ripe for decentralization.

$4.3B

Password Manager TAM (2026)

Growing 14% YoY. Enterprise share accelerating after Okta + LastPass incidents.

$1.8B

Auth-as-a-Service TAM

Auth0 / Okta dominate. Wallet-based auth is the obvious next wave — and we're 10× cheaper.

81%

Of breaches involve credentials

(Verizon DBIR 2025). The category needs an answer that isn't "trust us harder."

Solana is fast and cheap enough to make this work today. Wallets are mainstream. Users are breach-fatigued. The window is open.

Revenue Model

Six revenue streams. One protocol.

Subscriptions

Knight → Queen tiers. Predictable consumer ARR.

Auth-as-a-Service

$0.003–$0.01 per auth. Projected $36M/yr by Y5.

Vault API

$29–$99/mo developer plans. $50K–$500K/mo at scale.

White-Label Vault

$500/mo + $0.50/user. $100K/mo at 50 clients.

Compliance Reports

$1,500/yr per enterprise. SOC2/HIPAA-ready evidence.

On-Chain Fees

50% margin on every protocol write. Scales with usage.

Year-5 projected revenue: $92.85M — 58% of which comes from B2B/developer streams that didn't exist on Day 1.

Network Economics

Operators put SHRD on the line. Math pays them back.

Warden

Bond: $500 SHRD
Role: Coordination, challenges
Y1 earnings: ~$86/mo
Share: 30% of emissions

Bastion

Bond: $100 SHRD
Role: Shard storage & serving
Y1 earnings: ~$18/mo
Share: 25% of emissions

Sentry

Bond: $10 SHRD
Role: Browser-based verification
Y1 earnings: ~$1/mo
Share: 15% of emissions

Bonds are fully returnable on graceful exit (48h–28d). Slashing: 100% for corrupt data, 25% for downtime, 100% for collusion. Trust math, not a company.

Why We Win

Competitors can't bolt this on. They'd have to start over.

Architectural moat

On-chain shard maps, operator bond escrow, and Merkle reward roots are baked into the protocol. Retrofitting requires abandoning the centralized vault model that incumbents are built on.

Operator moat

~85% of protocol functions survive without ShardKeep the company. Users trust the program. Operators earn from cryptographic proofs, not from us cutting checks.

Network effects

More users → more shards → more Bastion demand → more operators → more redundancy → more users. B2B Auth-as-a-Service compounds the loop.

Token-aligned growth

Every new operator buys SHRD for the bond. Every new subscription burns through treasury demand. Every B2B contract pulls fees on-chain.

Roadmap

From DevNet to mainstream in four moves.

Q2 2026 — Harden

Payment gateway (USDC/SHRD). Sentry verification at scale. Security audit. MainNet preparation.

Q3 2026 — Launch

MainNet cutover. Public token listing. First 1,000 paid subscribers. CARES points integration.

Q4 2026 — Expand

Auth-as-a-Service public API. White-label pilots. DAO governance go-live (SPL Governance).

2027 — Compound

Compliance reports for enterprise. Insurance product. Mobile clients. Core program → immutable.

The Ask

Marketing partner. Launch lane. Audit capital.

Marketing

Brand & narrative partner to take "the password vault that survives its own company" to security press, crypto-native channels, and B2B auth buyers.

Distribution

Solana ecosystem co-marketing. Wallet partnerships (Phantom, Backpack). Developer-relations push for Auth-as-a-Service.

Capital

$50K MainNet security audit. Insurance pool seed. Listing & liquidity bootstrap (zero-capital DEX strategy already drafted).

Product is built. Token is live. Operators are earning. We need the world to know.

13 / 14

ShardKeep

Your bond is in a smart contract.
Your rewards are in a Merkle tree.
Trust math, not a company.
