Safe Haven

What Safe Haven does

Safe Haven (operating as Safe Haven Tech PTE. LTD., legally domiciled in Singapore with operational offices in Brussels, Belgium) is a decentralized finance (DeFi) platform founded in 2017 that builds infrastructure for digital asset inheritance, backup, cross-chain transfer, and management. The company serves individual crypto and NFT holders seeking to safeguard digital assets against loss from death or incapacitation, businesses requiring secure continuity for critical information and multi-party fund ownership, and Web3 projects (NFT collections, DeFi protocols, marketplaces, gaming guilds) that integrate its inheritance layer into their platforms. As of the data, Safe Haven reports 350+ users, 100+ Inheriti® plans, 500+ SafeKey devices sold, and 1,000+ SafeIDs created, with 30+ named B2B2C integration partners spanning VeChain, XRP Ledger, and broader EVM ecosystems.

The company's core technology is Inheriti®, a decentralized digital inheritance and backup platform that employs a patented three-layer topology combining AES-256 encryption, share fragmentation across FIDO2+SSDP SafeKey hardware security modules (co-developed with Nitrokey) and mobile devices, and on-chain validator share storage via Dead Man Switch smart contracts deployed primarily on the VeChainThor blockchain. Supporting products include SafeSwap (a cross-chain atomic swap bridge operating without wrapped tokens across seven EVM-compatible networks), the SHA utility token (deployed as VIP-180 on VeChainThor and as ERC-20/BEP-20-equivalent on Polygon, BNB Smart Chain, Ethereum, Base, Optimism, and Rollux), Comet 2.0 (browser-based wallet), SafeID (single sign-on), FundRequest (decentralized open-source marketplace), ThorBlock (decentralized fund pooling currently under maintenance), ThorPay (mass payments using the proprietary Atomic Transaction Protocol), and SafeNode masternode and staking programs. Smart contracts are audited by Red4Sec, and the platform operates a 24-month bug-bounty agreement with Intigriti covering 15,000+ white-hat researchers.

Revenue is generated primarily through token-denominated fees: a one-time 10,000 SHA deposit is required to establish an Inheriti® plan (with 50% of post-fee SHA directed to a company R&D pool, 40% to a community pool, and 10% used for market buybacks), plus SafeKey hardware unit sales through the safetech.io storefront. The Inheriti® Business Edition (B2B API) is planned but not yet a material revenue stream, and ThorBlock API monetization remains limited. Go-to-market is community-led and channel-driven, leveraging direct-to-consumer self-serve onboarding, 30+ Web3 integration partner referral links, events such as The HiVe and Startup Grind, content marketing, and a strategic B2B partnership with Global Funeral Care (an end-of-life services platform) for vertical-specific distribution. Primary customer segments are individual crypto/NFT holders (primary), Web3 projects and DeFi protocols (primary), businesses and professional partners (primary), India retail/legal users via Matic Network and LawRato, and VeChainThor community participants.

Revenue model

1. Inheriti® Plan Fees (paid in SHA token): Users must deposit 10,000 SHA to establish an Inheritance plan. After fees, 40% of SHA paid goes to the community pool (utility rewards), 10% is used to market buy SHA, a percentage covers blockchain/smart-contract fees, and 50% goes to the company pool for research and development. This is a one-time, token-denominated setup fee with lifetime validity.
2. SafeKey Hardware Sales: Sales of the proprietary SafeKey FIDO2 U2F hardware device, distributed via shop.safetech.io, supporting both 2FA authentication and Inheriti® share storage.
3. Inheriti® Business Edition (B2B API Integration): Planned API-based Business Edition allowing third-party partners to integrate Inheriti® within their business models, opening a B2B revenue stream beyond consumer plans.
4. ThorBlock Pooling & Fundraising Services: ThorBlock's Pooling, Fundraising, and Charity sub-products provide decentralized fund pooling on VeChainThor via ready-made, documented APIs, monetized through token utility and integration support.
5. Merchandise Sales: Branded merchandise sold via shop.safehaven.io, providing ancillary community engagement and minor revenue.

Product overview

Safe Haven is a single platform-plus-modules DeFi ecosystem (rather than a single product) that has been building decentralized finance solutions since 2017 for safely managing, storing, and transferring digital assets such as crypto, NFTs, passwords, pictures, and documents. The portfolio consists of the core Inheriti® decentralized inheritance/backup platform and SafeSwap cross-chain atomic-swap bridge, supported by SafeKey (proprietary FIDO2+U2F hardware co-developed with Nitrokey), SafeID single-sign-on, the Comet 2.0 browser-based wallet, FundRequest open-source marketplace, ThorBlock fund pooling (under maintenance), ThorPay mass payments (via the proprietary Atomic Transaction Protocol), and the planned Trust Alliance Network. The whole ecosystem is tied together by the SHA utility token (deployed on VeChainThor, Ethereum, Polygon, BSC, Base, Optimism, and Rollux) and a SafeNode masternode and staking program, with periodic independent security audits by Red4Sec and an active bug-bounty program via Intigriti.

Direct peers

• Unchained Capital: Bitcoin custody and financial services company with a dedicated 'Crypto Estate Planning' offering that helps clients structure multi-signature inheritance solutions. Competes with Safe Haven for the high-net-worth crypto inheritance segment, with deeper institutional credibility in U.S. markets.
• Casa: Bitcoin self-custody provider with built-in multi-signature inheritance and key-recovery features for individuals and families. Casa addresses the same 'pass crypto to your heirs' problem that Inheriti® solves, but uses a multi-sig hardware-wallet approach rather than 3-layer FIDO2 share fragmentation.
• Trustology: Crypto custody platform offering 'Inheritance Vaults' and key recovery with a focus on institutional and family-office clients. Trustology competes directly with Inheriti® on the crypto-estate-planning use case, with a more regulated, fiat-bridge-heavy approach versus Safe Haven's decentralized model.
• MyWish: Direct competitor in the crypto inheritance / digital-will space. MyWish creates smart contracts (MyWill platform, LastWill smart contract) that allow digital assets (including NEO and Bitcoin) to become inheritable — the same core problem Inheriti® solves. Safe Haven explicitly partnered with MyWish, indicating direct product overlap.
• Vault12: Direct peer offering decentralized digital-asset inheritance and backup using a 'guardian' network and sharded encryption. Vault12 and Safe Haven both target crypto holders who need to pass digital assets to heirs without relying on centralized custodians — competing head-to-head on the 'decentralized inheritance' value proposition.

Broad incumbents

• BitGo: Institutional digital-asset custodian with integrated estate-planning and key-recovery services. As a broad incumbent, BitGo offers inheritance as part of a wider custody, trading, and lending portfolio — overlapping with Safe Haven's value proposition for high-value crypto holders but at institutional scale.
• Ledger: Leading hardware-wallet manufacturer whose devices (including Ledger Stax and Nano) are integrated with Safe Haven's SafeWallet. Ledger also offers 'Ledger Recover,' an opt-in identity-based key recovery service that competes directly with SafeKey's 2FA + share-storage model.
• Trezor: Open-source hardware-wallet manufacturer offering Shamir Backup (SLIP-39) for distributed seed-phrase recovery. Trezor's Shamir Backup solves a similar inheritance/recovery problem to Safe Haven's 3-layer topology, with broader consumer brand recognition and lower price points than SafeKey.

Others

• VeChain: Enterprise-grade public blockchain on which all of Safe Haven's products are deployed. VeChain is both Safe Haven's primary infrastructure partner (with a founder sitting on the Foundation grant committee) and an enabler/ecosystem dependency — making it the most adjacent 'peer' in terms of technology alignment and distribution.
• Venly (formerly Arkane Network): Blockchain-agnostic wallet and NFT tool provider that is both a Safe Haven partner and a comparable infrastructure player. Venly offers wallet-as-a-service, marketplace tools, and multi-chain onboarding — overlapping with Safe Haven's Comet 2.0 wallet and SafeID SSO offerings in the Web3 infrastructure layer.
