Lazarus Protocol
Lazarus Protocol is a crypto continuity insurance layer built for the $140 billion problem nobody talks about.
Core trick
Treats on-chain activity as a heartbeat and releases funds to a trust network only after a silence threshold, with a contract rule barring confirmers from receiving funds.
Description
Lazarus Protocol is a crypto continuity insurance layer built for the $140 billion problem nobody talks about. Every year billions in crypto become permanently unrecoverable — not stolen, not lost to bad trades, just locked inside wallets that nobody alive knows how to open. We built Lazarus because we watched it happen to real people. Friends passing away. Families locked out. Money that could have changed lives just sitting there forever unreachable.
Lazarus wraps around the wallet you already use. You never move your coins. You never give up your keys. You simply build a trust network — Confirmers who verify something real happened, Custodians who receive your assets, and Watchers who can veto anything suspicious. Your on-chain activity acts as a heartbeat. As long as you’re active nothing happens. The moment silence grows beyond your chosen threshold your network activates.
The anti-collusion mechanic is enforced at contract level — the person who votes to confirm a release can never receive funds from that petition. Not a policy. Not a promise. Code. And the owner can always Resurrect with one signed transaction cancelling everything instantly.
No new wallet. No custody. No fees while you’re alive. Ever.
README excerpt
# Lazarus Protocol **Crypto continuity insurance.** An on-chain monitoring + recovery layer for the wallets you already use. For everyone — not just founders, not just whales. Anyone whose family or community would be locked out of their assets if something happened to them. > Your wallet goes silent. A network of people you trust verifies something is wrong. Pre-written instructions fire, emergency funds reach the right people, nothing of yours goes to zero. Normal transactions are never intercepted.  --- ## Links - 🎬 **90-second walkthrough:** open [`demo.html`](./demo.html) — self-running cinematic product demo with captions and animated UI, no install required. - 🌐 **Live demo:** deploy in ~30 minutes via [`DEPLOYMENT.md`](./DEPLOYMENT.md) (Vercel + Base Sepolia). Until deployed, the dashboard runs in simulation mode using local seed data — every UI flow is exercisable, but on-chain reads are mocked. - 📖 **Documentation:** [`docs.html`](./docs.html) — invariants, roles, petition lifecycle, security guarantees, contract reference - 🛡️ **Threat model:** [`THREATS.md`](./THREATS.md) — STRIDE-style adversary catalogue mapped to contract code, including coercion / kidnap defense - ⛽ **Gas benchmarks:** [`GAS.md`](./GAS.md) — measured gas usage for every user-facing operation - 📄 **Contract on Basescan:** populated once `npm run deploy:sepolia` runs and the printed addresses are pasted into `js/c
