Ethereum Backup Week
May 16, 2026Ethereum Backup Week
Welcome to Ethereum Backup Week! A community campaign designed to help Ethereum developers, users, and node operators safeguard their digital assets.
In web3, there are no “Forgot Password” buttons. Your keys are your sole responsibility.
Why This Campaign Matters
Many users protect their crypto using single copies of hardware wallet recovery sheets. If your house experiences a flood or fire, or if you simply lose that sheet, your assets are gone forever.
Ethereum Backup Week focuses on teaching resilience:
- Redundancy without exposure: Learn how to fragment key sheets so that no single storage provider or location can steal your funds.
- Stateless recovery: Ensure you can regain access even if YourKeep software is no longer online.
How to Participate
- Verify your setup: Run a recovery test of your current wallets.
- Fragment your seed: Use YourKeep to encrypt and split your backup.
- Distribute securely: Save fragments in independent locations (e.g., one cloud service, one offline hardware device, one trust circle).
