TRANSCEND
NODE
The first decentralized encryption and secure storage network designed to manage crypto asset inheritances or any other digital secret.
Where nodes receive rewards in the CUVX token and in Bitcoin
A network of autonomous, encrypted, and decentralized nodes ensuring the sovereignty of your data and secure access to information.
This allows designated heirs to access their digital inheritance after the completion of a predefined life latency procedure set by the original owner.
WHAT IS TRANSCEND NODE?
Transcend Node is a decentralized encryption and storage network designed to provide a secure, private, and censorship-resistant solution for managing sensitive data.
Our protocol enables users to store, share, and access information without intermediaries, ensuring digital sovereignty and long-term data persistence.
Its primary function is to store a single critical piece of data the missing password required for heirs to access a multi-signature digital inheritance.
The creator of a digital inheritance, whether they own a crypto wallet or any other digital secret, wishes to grant access to their heirs at a time when they can no longer manage their assets. However, they do not want to compromise or lock those assets prematurely.
To achieve this, the original owner generates an offline multi-signature cryptogram containing the secret. The cryptogram requires at least two mandatory passwords for decryption.
The owner provides their heirs with the cryptogram including, for example, the seed phrase of their crypto wallet but only one of the two required passwords.
The second password is encrypted using AES-256-GCM and then fragmented using Shamir’s Secret Sharing through an offline encryption process performed on the Cuvex device. This encrypted and fragmented data is then securely stored within the Transcend Node network.
The protocol ensures that only the designated heirs can retrieve and decrypt the stored password from the Transcend Node network but only after the original owner fails to respond to a predefined life latency challenge they have set for themselves.

HOW IT WORKS?
SECURE DATA DISTRIBUTION
Files are fragmented and distributed across multiple nodes in the network. Only the rightful owners (heirs) can reconstruct, retrieve, and decrypt the stored information using cryptographic keys that only they possess.
HOW DOES TRANSCEND
NODE SECURITY?
In summary, Transcend Node is a fully decentralized network of nodes that stores only one of the passwords needed to decrypt a separate multi-signature cryptogram, which itself is not hosted within the Transcend Node network.
The data stored in Transcend Node cannot be decrypted by any node or external observer. Even if an attacker were somehow able to access it, they could not make use of it, as:
-
The cryptogram it decrypts is not stored within Transcend Node.
-
The second required password is also not stored in Transcend Node.
This architecture ensures maximum security, resilience, and true digital sovereignty, allowing digital inheritances to be securely passed on without reliance on third parties.
ENCRYPTION & PRIVACY
The password intended for heirs is encrypted offline using AES-256-GCM, incorporating a secret that only the heirs have. The resulting cryptogram is then further fragmented using Shamir’s Secret Sharing, producing 369 fragments. Each fragment is individually encrypted again using the public keys of participating nodes.
All of this, along with additional metadata, is registered and stored on the Cuvex Blockchain through processes managed by Transcend Nodes.
This design ensures that no single node can decrypt all Shamir fragments stored on the blockchain. Even if such an event were hypothetically possible, it would only reconstruct an AES-256-GCM cryptogram that only the designated heir can decrypt.
SMART CONTRACT & ACCES MANAGEMENT
Transcend Node's decentralized inheritance system is managed through a smart contract configured by the inheritance owner.
Within this contract, the owner designates authorized heirs, encrypts, and submits Shamir fragments to the blockchain. These fragments remain inaccessible until the owner fails to pass a predefined life latency challenge a condition they establish themselves.
In practice, the inheritance owner defines a recurring timeframe in which they must pass a life latency challenge. This involves signing a unique message within the smart contract an action only they can perform to confirm they are still alive.
If the owner fails to sign within the predefined timeframe, the smart contract initiates a security buffer period, also determined by the owner. Once this period expires, the designated heirs can request fragment retrieval and decryption from the smart contract.
SUPPORT
All data is encrypted before being distributed across the network. Only you, or those with the correct decryption key, can access it.
The activation cost of a contract depends on its size and the predefined life latency period.
-
For contracts up to 0.5MB, the inheritance owner will pay $49 in Bitcoin per year.
-
Designated heirs must pay $99 in Bitcoin per year or fraction thereof, once they request the recovery of their inheritance, following the expiration of the owner’s life latency period.
-
No. As with any decentralized cryptographic system, private keys are essential for accessing the stored data.
It is strongly recommended that inheritance owners create at least five backup copies of their keys, physically stored in Cuvex NFC cards, which contain the original encrypted secret.-

-
The required minimum CUVX tokens in staking as collateral to participate in the network and earn rewards
-
The contract orchestrates the decryption process across all participating encryption nodes, ensuring that inheritance data remains recoverable over time. When heirs claim their inheritance following the owner's life latency expiration, the contract coordinates the decryption of each stored fragment.
Participating nodes are penalized through staking loss if they fail to fulfill their obligations. These penalties are transparently visible to the inheritance owner, allowing them to monitor the integrity of their inheritance contract in real time. If necessary, the owner can reconstruct and migrate their contract to a new set of nodes at any time.

RECEIVED REWARDS
DIRECTLY IN BTC
Network participants who stake the required amount of CUVX tokens can operate nodes and earn rewards for contributing to data storage, processing, and smart contract execution, creating a self-sustaining and autonomous ecosystem.
Rewards are granted to the winning node through two auditable selection processes:
1. Blockchain Validation: Nodes that validate blocks on the Cuvex Blockchain receive CUVX tokens, which allow them to deploy new Transcend Nodes.
2. Decentralized Inheritance Contracts: Nodes selected as the primary validators for decentralized inheritance contracts receive rewards directly in Bitcoin.
Transcend Node is the future of decentralized crypto asset inheritance.
