Armory as a company no longer exists — but the expertise and integrity that made it so popular in the early days of Bitcoin is still here to help in a new era of cryptocurrency.
A decade ago, I built Armory — the original high-security Bitcoin wallet — and the company around it, Armory Technologies, Inc.
Armory and I became synonymous with one idea: security at all costs. I was an early thought leader and technical innovator behind concepts the whole industry now takes for granted — cold storage, deterministic wallets (BIP32), multi-signature fund protection, GPU-resistant wallet encryption, and sharded backups.
I wrote the most secure cryptocurrency software of its time. I secured crypto keys, files, and protocols at the bit-level, and authored GPU-resistant security protocols when almost no one else was thinking that far ahead. Those innovations are what made Armory a trusted brand — and made me a trusted name.
That legacy doesn't expire. Armory Cryptographic Recovery applies the same rigor in the other direction: getting people back into wallets they thought were lost forever. Because we wrote wallet software at this depth, no one understands these systems better — and your high-value wallets can be trusted to the same standard that built the Armory name.
Popularized keeping signing keys fully offline — the bedrock of serious self-custody.
Early adoption of BIP32 hierarchical deterministic wallets for safer, recoverable key generation.
Funds protected by multiple keys, so no single point of failure can move them.
Wallet encryption engineered to resist brute-force from GPU hardware.
Splitting backups into fragments so no single piece can compromise the whole.
The original Armory mark represented the gold standard for Bitcoin self-custody. We carry it forward deliberately — a reminder of the standard every recovery is held to.
Every recovery is handled personally, confidentially, and to the Armory standard.
