A legendary Bitcoin security architect returns to help you recover lost coins.

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.

Armory — the original Bitcoin wallet

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.

/ FOUNDATIONAL WORK

Innovations that became industry standards.

Cold storage

Popularized keeping signing keys fully offline — the bedrock of serious self-custody.

Deterministic wallets

Early adoption of BIP32 hierarchical deterministic wallets for safer, recoverable key generation.

Multi-signature wallets

Funds protected by multiple keys, so no single point of failure can move them.

GPU-resistant encryption

Wallet encryption engineered to resist brute-force from GPU hardware.

Sharded backups

Splitting backups into fragments so no single piece can compromise the whole.

Original Armory mark
ARMORY · EST. 2011

One mark. A reputation built to last.

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.

Trust the name that built the standard.

Every recovery is handled personally, confidentially, and to the Armory standard.
