Today, LIVE webinar about Gart app. Join to share your feature requests, ask questions and see what is upcoming in our development. 2pm UTC View quoted note →

How do you protect yourself, your family, and your assets in a world that gets increasingly uncertain? What once took a surveillance team now takes a laptop and a few hours: old data leaks, public posts, wallets anyone can trace. Make privacy a professional habit. Build awareness, skills, and protocols. Use practical, privacy-first tools and stay in control. Just three words: Stealth. Ready. Smart. Learn about how we think of personal security and what Gart's tagline actually means:

Stealth. Ready. Smart.

What Gart's tagline actually means. These three words represents how we think about personal security at Gart.

Attackers need your money to move right now. Two setups put a key, or a clock, in the way. We show you both tomorrow. Multisig means it takes more than one key to move your funds. One threatened person is not enough. A timelock means the money cannot leave until a set time passes. Nothing goes on the spot. Gart Webinar: Multi-signature Wallets & Timelocks. Tomorrow, Wednesday, 2 PM UTC. Hosted by @Max Hillebrand from Sound Money Solutions. Free, one hour, live questions. View quoted note →

A wrench attack runs on one assumption: that one person, under enough pressure, can move everything. Multisig takes that apart. No single signer can send the funds, so no single person can be forced to. A time-locked key cannot sign yet, so there is nothing in it to take today. None of this makes you less of a target, but it removes the single point they can break. On July 29, we walk through building custody with no single point of coercion. Gart Webinar: Multisig wallets and timelocks, Held by the Sound Money Solutions team, led by @Max Hillebrand. July 29, 2:00 PM UTC. Limited seats. Register:

Gart Webinar: Multi-signature Wallets & Timelocks

Digital Security Series, Session 5. An Introduction to Gart's Remote Training.

A Russian restaurant owner in Uluwatu, Bali was taken on the night of July 2 as he rode home from his own restaurant. Two masked men blocked his motorcycle, cuffed him with plastic restraints, covered his head, and drove him to a two-story building. He was punched and kicked for close to 30 hours until he gave up the password to his crypto account. The stop happened at a junction on that route, around 9:35 PM, on a deserted stretch with almost no camera coverage. They took his Xiaomi phone at the roadside. His villa key was sitting on the motorcycle's dashboard, so they used it to walk into his villa and take a second phone, the one he used to reach his crypto funds. No arrests so far. An estimated $4.9M to $5M was taken. They let him out in front of Udayana University Hospital in Jimbaran at 4 AM on July 4. Full report:

Digital Security Series, Session 4. An Introduction to Gart's Remote Training.

Picture the person you'd leave your coins to trying to reach them without you in the room. They don't know if the seed is on paper or steel, whether it's whole or split, or which drawer even holds the right device. Everything you did to keep it safe from a stranger now works against the one person you meant to have it. Session 4 of our free Digital Security Webinar Series works through it: Backup & Inheritance Strategies In partnership with and hosted by the Sound Money Solutions team, led by @Max Hillebrand. What we'll cover: - Redundancy that adds copies without adding single points of failure - Where backups live, and who can reach them - An inheritance path that triggers without exposing keys early - Recovery that holds up July 15th. Limited seats. Register:

Digital Security Series, Session 4. An Introduction to Gart's Remote Training.

Most people pick a hardware signer like they pick a router. Brand, price, done. But the right signer depends on what you're defending against. A remote attacker, a border crossing, someone at your door, an heir who has to recover it without you. Different threats call for different tools, and most setups never make that choice on purpose.

The highest-value security move costs nothing: an honest look at the gaps you already have. Our free Personal Opsec Checklist is a structured self-assessment across six areas: public records, digital footprint, personal space, routines, self-defense, and situational readiness. You rate your own risk in each, then prioritize what to work on first. A sample from our extended version, distributed exclusively at Gart Training sessions. Link:

What does the safety app on your phone know about you? Gart's answer: nothing. By design. 1. No background tracking. The alert button stays silent until you trigger it. No background location. 2. End-to-end encrypted. Alert content and chat use NIP-44. We can't read them, and neither can the relays. 3. Nothing to hand over. No identity, contacts, or location stored. You can't leak what was never collected. 4. Publicly verifiable. The live alert stream is public. We'd rather you check than trust us. We wrote exactly how it works. Full blog:

A Safety App That Can't Track You

Every other safety app keeps you safe by watching you. Gart keeps you safe by knowing nothing about you.

Last week, at @BTC Prague we only scratched the surface of personal security. This is where we go deeper. Besides your password, what else stands between someone and your accounts? 10 seats left.

How private is the app you'd reach for in an emergency? Most location and alert apps watch you, then sell your movements and contacts to marketers and hand them to law enforcement.

Around 9 in 10 people attacked for their crypto come back home. Our training teaches the choices that put you in that number. Session 4 of the Gart Training, Survive & Thrive, covers the first 60 seconds and the hours after: when to comply and when not to, staying composed enough to think, and the prepared moves that buy you time. If it happened, would your next move be a decision or a guess? This is the final session of the June 9 training in Prague, 2 days before @BTC Prague . Signups close tonight. 5 seats left.

Every protocol is a decision you make once, now, while you're calm, so you or your safe contacts don't have to make it later, under pressure, with the clock ticking. Session 3 of the Gart Training, Protocol Design, is where we help you build yours. Who gets contacted, in what order, what they do, and the codes that signal you're in trouble without tipping anyone off. June 9 in Prague, 2 days before @BTC Prague 15 seats available.

Good security works in layers. Avoidance, deterrence, detection, delay, response. Each layer an attacker has to get through costs them time and risk, and most look for someone easier first. Session 2 of the Gart Training, Get Hard to Get, is on building those layers, plus the 30-day opsec plan to put them in place. June 9 in Prague, 2 days before @BTC Prague 15 seats available.
