TapSafe
Recover your wallet,
no matter what.
With TapSafe, there's no seed phrase to write down, no PIN to remember, and no single point of failure. Your wallet stays secure, recoverable, and fully in your hands.
Watch: What is TapSafe?
The Problem
One mistake shouldn't cost you everything.
Your wallet backup is only as safe as its weakest link. If any one of these happens, you lose everything.
Lose your seed phrase — Your crypto is gone.
Someone finds it — Your funds are stolen.
Wrong PIN on backup card — Your backup is erased.
Not all recovery methods protect you the same way.

The Solution
The best way to secure your crypto.
TapSafe splits your wallet's backup into multiple pieces, making it resilient and secure. Think of it like a puzzle — a single piece is useless on its own, but together, they recover your wallet.
Secure. Your backup is split into encrypted pieces. No single piece can reveal your keys.
Simple. No seed phrases to write down. Just tap to backup and recover in seconds.
Open source. Every line of code is public and independently audited.
How It Works
Your backup tools.
TapSafe gives you a combination of physical and digital backups.
The Recovery Tag. Your physical backup.
This battery-free tag holds an encrypted piece of your wallet backup. It's waterproof and built to last.
Your Phone. Your pocket backup.
Your paired phone stores another encrypted piece of your backup in your iCloud or Google Drive. It can't access your wallet by itself.
The Recovery Tag
A small NFC tag that holds an encrypted piece of your wallet backup. It means you don't need to write down a seed phrase or remember a PIN — your phone is the other piece needed for recovery. If someone finds it, they can't do anything with it on its own.
Each Recovery Tag counts as 50% of your recovery
Battery-free
No charging, no cables. It's always ready.

How to use it
Just place your Recovery Tag behind your Ryder One to back up your wallet.
TapSafe In Action
Combine both to back up and recover
No seed phrases, no complicated steps. Just tap and go.
Tap your phone and your tag on your Ryder One. That's it — you're backed up.
What this means for you.
No PIN. No paper. No risk.
Paper gets lost. Backup cards with a PIN can erase your wallet after 3 wrong attempts. TapSafe replaces both.
Self-custodial. Always.
No Ryder servers, no accounts, no third party holding your keys. Even the encrypted piece in your cloud is meaningless on its own.
Stolen? You're safe.
Each backup is encrypted and incomplete — useless on its own. No one can access your wallet with a single piece.
Lost a tag or phone? Replace it.
Tap a new tag. Or restore your phone backup from iCloud or Google Drive. No need to start over.
More ways to recover
Recovery Contacts. Your social recovery.
Add trusted friends and family to your backup for extra recovery scenarios.
More tags, more places.
Keep Recovery Tags in every location that matters — your home, office, or a safe deposit box.
Recovery Contacts
Add trusted friends or family as Recovery Contacts. They hold an encrypted piece of your backup on their phone and can never access your wallet on their own.
Each contact counts as 25% of your recovery
Fully self-custodial
No Ryder servers involved. Your backup is shared directly between devices.
In-person setup
You meet your contact in person and tap your Ryder One on their phone via NFC. Your backup never travels over the internet.
Synced to their cloud
Once stored, the backup lives in your contact's iCloud or Google Drive — safe even if they replace their phone.
Add as many as you want
Each contact strengthens your recovery. The more you add, the more options you have.

Extra Recovery Tags
Why add more?
Your Ryder One comes with one tag, but you can add as many as you want. Store extra tags in different locations — your home, office, a family member's house, a safe deposit box — so you're always within reach of a recovery option.
How does it work?
Tap a new tag on your Ryder One to create an additional backup.
Each tag holds the same encrypted piece.
Losing one doesn't matter as long as you have another.

No two users are the same. That's the point.
TapSafe adapts to your lifestyle. Choose how many Recovery Tags or Contacts work for you. There's no single right answer — only your answer.
Countless configurations.
No compromises.
