Why it is new

What exists today, and what this does differently

What is new

Ceremony guidance exists as docs; an interactive guided tool is the new part.

Closest things out there

Security Alliance publishes a multisig implementation checklist and spark.money offers a Bitcoin key ceremony planner, but as docs rather than an interactive Safe tool.

Checked with web searches in October 2026. A search is not proof that nothing similar exists, and the market moves fast, so we recheck before every build.

What you own

The whole app, not a starter kit.

The complete Key Ceremony app: a small team sets up a shared Safe vault together on one call, verifies every address aloud from the device screen, sends a test in and out, and signs a record of who holds what, with rotation, drills and a paywall built in.

The pitch, ready

A guided multisig key ceremony for small teams: one call, every address read aloud, a test send and a signed record of who holds what.

Problem: Small DAOs, clubs and startups set up shared treasuries from scattered guides, often late at night and often alone. Money is lost to small slips: one person holding every key, a poisoned clipboard, a vault nobody tested.

Solution: An interactive ceremony the whole team runs together: threshold with plain consequences, addresses verified from device screens only, a forced test send in and out, an attested record, rotation and quarterly drills.

Why now: Safe on cheap L2s like Base, EAS attestations for cents and small models that can guide a call make a full ceremony affordable for any five person team.

Market: Small DAOs, grant recipients, community clubs, co-ops and early startups holding shared crypto treasuries, plus the grant programs that fund them.

The ask: Pilot partners: two grant programs willing to ask grantees for a ceremony record, and public goods funding such as Ethereum Foundation ESP or Arbitrum grants.

Funding is never guaranteed. Check each program's rules.

For hackathons and demo days

Your 2 minute demo

Home: meet Nino, 29, in Tbilisi, with seed library money in her personal wallet and four friends in four cities.
Ceremony: set 3 of 5 on Base, a 1 USDC test, a 24 hour wait and 2 backups, then lock the rules.
Ceremony: pick Rehearse a mismatch, start the read-aloud round, watch Arjun's swapped address stop everything, then wipe and re-read.
Ceremony: create the vault, send the test in and out, sign the record and see the share card.
Record: show what is onchain and what never is, then share the record with members.
Keys: report Lucas's stolen phone and hit the Team gate on rotation; unlock through the USDC checkout and rotate.
Owner Revenue: change the Team price in the paywall editor and preview the team Plans screen.
Owner Growth, Sessions and Roadmap: run a grantee ceremony week, assign a facilitator, request the v2 facilitator network.

Many hackathons require code written at the event. See the Regatta Boardfor each race's rule.

BLUEPRINT

Why it matters and how it really works

The need

Small DAOs, clubs and startup teams set up shared treasuries from scattered guides, often late at night, often with one person doing it alone. The usual losses are small slips: one person holding every key, an address pasted from a poisoned clipboard, a vault nobody tested before real money arrived.

What exists and what is new

Guidance exists as documents. The Security Alliance publishes a multisig implementation checklist for protocols, and spark.money offers a Bitcoin multisig key ceremony planner. Safe itself handles vault creation well. Research verdict: rare, medium novelty. What this app adds is an interactive, offline friendly guided ceremony for a whole team on a call: address checks read aloud from each device screen, a threshold chosen with plain consequences, a forced test send in and out, a signed ceremony record, key rotation, and a quarterly drill that proves every key still works.

The data it runs on

The vault address and owner list (public onchain), the test transaction, a hash of the ceremony record as an EAS attestation, and drill signatures over a harmless message. The record itself (names, device types, backup place types) stays with the team. Seed words are never entered, stored or transmitted.

1.The mission

Give every small team shared confidence in who controls its money, with no single scary step.

2.Why people can't resist it

A ceremony, not a tutorial Everyone on one call, one step at a time, each step checked by the group. It feels like an event the team did together.

A paper you can show members The signed record answers the question every community asks: who holds the keys, and what happens if one is lost.

The quarterly drill Ten minutes, no money moves, and a streak that shows all five keys are alive.

3.How it works for real

Guided checklist app: A Next.js web app that works offline once loaded, with a printable one page checklist per signer in their language. No links inside the printed copy.

Vault creation: Deploys a Safe on Base, Arbitrum, Ethereum or Polygon with the verified owner addresses and the chosen threshold, using the Safe protocol kit. Optional delay module for large payouts.

Address verification: Each signer reads the first and last characters from the hardware device screen aloud on the call; two others confirm. Pasted text is never accepted as proof.

Test send: A small USDC amount goes in and comes back out, signed by the threshold, before the treasury is funded.

Ceremony record: The record is hashed and attested with EAS on the vault's chain, signed by all owners. The full record is exported as PDF to the team.

Guide assistant: A small model (for example Claude Haiku tier) answers questions in plain words and writes the record; it never sees seed words and cannot sign anything.

Reminders: Quarterly drill and rotation reminders through calendar invites and the team's chat, since email reminders are easy to miss.

4.Cost per use and pricing

Per ceremony: Safe deployment on Base is usually a few cents of gas, the test send and return under $0.05, the EAS attestation a cent or two. Guide assistant usage is a few thousand tokens per ceremony, well under $0.10 at small model prices. On Ethereum mainnet gas can run several dollars to tens of dollars. Example month: 40 team ceremonies on L2s cost roughly $10 to $20 in gas and model use, plus hosting.

Free ceremony $0

One guided ceremony for one vault, with the printable checklist and the record.

Team $15 a month

Unlimited ceremonies and rotations, quarterly drills, reminders and record history for up to 3 vaults.

Guided session $149 once

A live facilitator runs the call with your team and reviews the record.

5.Growth loop

Every signed record is shared with members, who see the app name on it. Signers who sat through one ceremony bring it to the next DAO, club or startup they join. Drill streaks give teams something to post.

6.Risks and guardrails

False confidence: A guide cannot make a team safe on its own. The app states clearly what it checks and what it cannot, such as device supply chain or social pressure on a signer.

Seed exposure: The app never asks for seed words and blocks paste fields that look like a seed phrase, with a warning.

Clipboard and malware: Addresses are verified from device screens only, read aloud and confirmed by others, because pasted text can be swapped.

Lost keys and stale signers: Rotation ceremonies and quarterly drills catch dead keys early, but a team that ignores drills can still lock itself out.

Privacy: The record holds names and roles. It stays offchain with the team; only its hash is attested.

Not advice: The app offers setup guidance, not legal, tax or investment advice.

Small teams set up a shared vault in one evening, together, and keep a record of who holds what.
Next
Templates for clubs, families and grant recipients, with facilitators who run ceremonies in local languages.
Later
Grant programs and funders ask for a ceremony record before they send money, as a simple safety norm.
World changing
Shared money held by communities is lost far less often to small, preventable slips.

Why own Key Ceremony

Key Ceremony walks a team through setting up a multisig, from hardware wallets to signer checks by video call to a test transaction and a signed record of who holds what. Owning it means teams trust your brand at the most nervous moment of their onchain life, and every ceremony you run becomes an onchain record of your care. That trust turns into repeat work: signer rotations, audits of who holds keys, and referrals.

What’s stopping you?

“I can't code, and this is about security.”

The app guides people through established multisig tools, it does not invent new cryptography. You need to understand the checklist well enough to run it, which you can learn by running it on your own test multisig first.

“What if a team loses funds after my ceremony?”

Be clear that Key Ceremony is a checklist and record, not custody or insurance. You never touch keys. Write that plainly in every session, and recommend a test transaction before real funds move.

“Is it really mine?”

Yes. Records deploy from your wallet, the brand and client list are yours, and nothing routes through DEPLOYR after purchase.

“Will people pay for a checklist?”

Teams pay for a calm guide on a scary day. Many will start with the free version, so price the guided session and the yearly signer review, not the PDF.

“What if it breaks?”

The ceremony record is onchain and the checklist works offline, so a broken page does not lock anyone out. Setup issues are covered by the get-it-shipped promise.

The million-dollar ladder

You charge per guided ceremony and a yearly plan for signer reviews and rotations, with a higher tier for teams that want you on the video call. Reaching $1M a year is a target, not a promise, and depends on steady referrals from DAO tooling communities.
