The Real Risk

A crypto trader stores their seed phrase in a cloud notes app, sharing it with themselves across devices. The cloud service experiences a breach. The attacker now has permanent, irrevocable access to a 7-figure crypto portfolio.

Consequence: total and permanent loss of crypto assets — there is no bank, chargebacks, or recovery. Loss is final and irreversible.

How to do it securely — step by step

1

Go to CipherEdge (no account required)

Visit CipherEdge.com and type or paste your seed phrases directly into the secure compose box. The interface works entirely in your browser — nothing is sent until you encrypt it.

2

Set your delivery options

Choose how long the secret should last (1 hour, 24 hours, or 7 days) and how many times it can be viewed (default: 1 view, burns after reading). Crypto Traders typically use 1 view for seed phrases to ensure it cannot be forwarded.

3

Encrypt — your seed phrases never leaves your browser in plaintext

Click "Encrypt & Create Link." Your browser uses AES-256-GCM encryption locally — the encrypted data is encrypted before it reaches any server. Our infrastructure only ever sees the encrypted bytes, not the original content.

4

Share the one-time link

You receive a unique URL. The decryption key is embedded in the URL fragment (the part after #) — this fragment is never transmitted to our servers per HTTP protocol specification. Send this link via any channel — email, Slack, or SMS.

5

Recipient opens once — then it's gone

When your recipient clicks the link, the seed phrases decrypts locally in their browser, simultaneously triggering permanent deletion from our servers. Any subsequent access to the same URL returns a 404 — the data no longer exists anywhere.
