Crypto inheritance: We’re giving $1,000 of Bitcoin with Zengo Wallet - AMA!

We’re giving $1,000 worth of Bitcoin into 2 Zengo Pro accounts and picking 2 winners to “inherit” the assets!

• 2 Zengo Pro wallets hold $500 USD in Bitcoin each: (TX links coming soon!)
• Winners picked from this AMA (details below)
• 5 runners up get free Zengo Pro access

Legacy Transfer allows you to pass on your crypto legacy:

• No KYC
• Assets remain on-chain
• No seed phrases required (institutional-grade MPC instead)
• Cancel or re-assign the Legacy Recipient at any time

Using a 2-of-2 Multi-Party Computation (MPC) framework, each of the two Zengo parties (Zengo app on the user device and Zengo server) independently generate their own “Secret Share” during the wallet creation process. The secret shares are cryptographically locked to prevent MITM attacks.

• The share randomly generated on the user’s device is called the Personal Share and leverages the device’s hardware-based random number generator (TRNG). Only the Personal share can initialize and sign transactions, all of which are verified by the device’s hardware (Secure Enclave or TEE/Trusted Execution Environment).
• The share randomly generated on Zengo’s remote server is called the Remote Share and is used to co-sign transactions emerging from the Personal Share.

Using MPC, these two Secret Shares are able to compute their corresponding public key securely.

Even if a hacker gains access to one of the two secret shares, it is still useless to them as they cannot spend user funds. Check out our recent ZengoWalletChallenge and AMA to hack a Zengo Wallet holding 10 Bitcoin.
