A record of your life that
outlives us all.
Every entry pinned to the open network with a public proof you can check yourself — today, in fifty years, and after we’re gone. No AI training. No data sales. No surveillance. Your words stay yours — provably.
Listen · the legacy you leave
When a platform shuts down, the memories vanish with it — across this industry that is the rule, not the exception. Living Legacy is built so that cannot happen to yours. Most platforms tell you that you own your content; we let you verify it independently of us. Every entry you publish is pinned permanently on the open IPFS network with a public Content Identifier (CID) you can retrieve from any gateway worldwide — today, in fifty years, and after we’re gone. No AI training, no advertising, no third-party data sales. Ever. See the difference →
How Living Legacy works now
No subscription. You capture your life freely in your own journal, then seal your own life, a dollar a moment — each sealed moment preserved on the open network with a public proof you can verify yourself. The same Seals, the same purse, whether you’re keeping your own days or honoring someone who has passed. See all four tiers →
Record your days — voice, video, photos, notes — in your own private journal on your device, encrypted with a key only you hold.
Begin your record →When a moment is worth keeping, spend one Seal: it is pinned to the open network — IPFS and Filecoin, paid once — and given a public proof you and your heirs can verify. Bought in prepaid Rolls, $10 and up.
Get Seals — a $10 Roll →The one-time covenant: a whole life bound into an heirloom — dual-network permanence, on-chain proof, and the succession engine that names your heirs and the terms on which your record reaches them, set in a medallion you hand down.
900+ ancestors already kept in the public archive — join them.
- ✓ Secure checkout by Stripe — we never see your card number
- ✓ One-time payment — no subscription, ever
- ✓ A $10 Roll is 10 Seals — yours until you spend them
Every sealed moment carries a content-addressed fingerprint you can verify on the open IPFS network. Questions before you buy? info@honoredancestors.net.
Live today: free capture in The Journal, $1 Seals for verifiable IPFS-pinned permanence, public proof you can check yourself at /ipfs/, and all eight Guiding Principles applied to every entry.
Coming next: the Eternal covenant — the Muhuri — with the succession engine: name your heirs and the terms on which your record reaches them — plus cross-device sync.
Existing annual and Eternal members keep their archives and access exactly as before — nothing changes for you. New permanence is now bought per moment with Seals.
What you get: free unlimited capture in your own journal, $1-per-moment IPFS permanence with a public proof, the timeline interface, and all eight Guiding Principles applied to every entry.
What you don’t get: ads, tracking, AI training on your content, surprise TOS changes, or cloud storage that vanishes when we pivot. There is nothing to cancel — what you Seal stays yours and remains retrievable from IPFS, forever.
Powered by Stripe. We never see your card details. There is no subscription — you pay only when you Seal a moment.
Four promises, in plain language
You keep copyright and ownership of everything you publish — the license you grant us is for hosting only, never commercial use, syndication, or third-party licensing, and any future derivative use would need your separate, explicit permission. Every entry is pinned to the open IPFS network with a public Content Identifier, so it resolves on any gateway even if our site goes dark (Guiding Principle 4 — we only claim permanence we can prove). The only outside parties we touch are Stripe for payment and Let’s Encrypt for security; no advertising, no tracking, and your words are never used to train any AI (Guiding Principles 5 and 6). And when you pass, the executor you name at signup lets your family choose what happens — publish it as a public memorial, keep it to family, or preserve it offline — while the IPFS records survive independently (Guiding Principle 8).
