Use the interface end-to-end with real cryptography. Then build your real backup with a tier.
Practice mode uses 2-of-3. Real tiers support up to 5-of-7 or custom.
Practice mode uses fixed labels.
Paste any 2 of your 3 practice shards below. The original secret comes back.
Match? That's Shamir's Secret Sharing. Your practice secret has been reconstructed from any 2 of the 3 shards.
The cryptography is open-source and verifiable. What you pay for in our tiers is everything around the math: archival shard cards, holder instruction letters, recovery manuals, tamper-evident packaging, and ceremony support. The math is permanent. The materials make it real.
