Shamir's Secret Sharing

license

A user-friendly web/GUI for Shamir’s Secret Sharing (SSS), optimized for Bitcoin and BIP-39 mnemonics. Allow users to split BIP-39 mnemonics into M-of-N shards using the SLIP-39 standard. The goal is to be the best UX for key backups.

See the roadmap.

Problem

A single mnemonic seed phrase is a single point of failure. Multisig (multiple keys) solves this, but it creates technical overhead like managing multiple hardware wallets and coordination software. There is not an accessible, user-friendly tool for distributing the risk of a single seed phrase without incurring the complexity of multisig.

Solution

A browser-based, "single-file" GUI that allows users to split BIP-39 mnemonics into M-of-N shards using the SLIP-39 standard. Users can perform key ceremonies on air-gapped, amnesic hardware (like a Tails USB on a non-networked Raspberry Pi) without needing a command line.
