The questions people ask before they trust it.

No. GeoSafe is not a wallet and doesn't replace yours. It adds a Vault, a smart-contract account you own, under the wallet you already use, through WalletConnect. You choose what goes into the Vault; the rest of your wallet is untouched.

No. GeoSafe can't sign alone, can't start a withdrawal and can't shorten a wait. The rules are enforced by the Vault contract on the blockchain, not by our servers. Withdrawals go only to the wallet you linked.

Your Vault keeps working. The contract lives on the blockchain and recovery uses your chosen zones plus a fixed delay. It needs nothing from GeoSafe. We will also publish the documented way to withdraw without our app before public launch.

Your Vault stays safe, and you don't have to race anyone.

A stolen seed phrase gets someone into your wallet, not your Vault. They can ask the Vault for a withdrawal, but nothing moves until you approve it on your phone. Deny it and that's the end of it.

The risk is the wallet, not the Vault. Your Vault only ever pays out to the wallet you linked, and anything that lands in a wallet someone else can open can be taken. So don't withdraw to it.

Move your Vault to a new wallet instead:

1. Create a fresh wallet with a new seed phrase.
2. In the GeoSafe app, re-link your Vault to it. This is done from your phone. The stolen seed phrase can't do it.
3. Wait for the change to take effect. Like every protection change it isn't instant, so someone holding your phone can't redirect your Vault in one go. The app shows you when.
4. Withdraw to the new wallet whenever you like.

While you wait, your digital assets stay in the Vault, out of reach of the old seed phrase.

Your existing wallet keeps its seed phrase. That's your wallet's business. The Vault adds no new phrase. And a leaked phrase gets someone your wallet and no further: the wallet can ask for a withdrawal, but your Vault answers only to your phone. Getting back in on a new phone takes your recovery zones and the wait.

Your digital assets stay where they are; nothing moves without your phone and your zones. On a new phone, install GeoSafe, reproduce your recovery zones on the map, and after a 48-hour delay the Vault is yours again. No phrase involved. Be clear about the other side of this: your zones are the only way back in. If you cannot reproduce them, nobody can. Not us, not anyone. The Vault stays shut for good.

Unlocking the phone isn't enough: every approval needs Face ID or your GeoSafe PIN. Keep that PIN different from your phone passcode. If it is compromised too, the wait is what buys you time, because away from your Safe zones every withdrawal waits, and you can deny it from your next phone once you've recovered.

A Safe zone is a place you choose, where your phone usually is when you move money. Inside one, an approved withdrawal executes now if you switched instant approval on for that zone; leave it off and withdrawals wait even at home. You set an area size around it: big enough to cover where you actually move about, small enough that it still means something. One is enough to start; you can add more in the app. Safe zones are shown as Safe zone 01, Safe zone 02, never as an address and never as a position on a map.

A recovery zone is a point you pick on a map. It is what restores your Vault on a new phone, so you need 2 or more, and you should be able to find them again years from now. You never have to travel to one. Unlike a Safe zone, your position is never checked when you set them or when you use them, so one can be in Lagos and the next in Lisbon. Keep them well away from where you live, and ideally apart from each other: GeoSafe asks for at least 50km and warns you if a zone is closer, but nothing here is enforced. Weaker choices are still yours to make. Once confirmed, a recovery zone is never shown again, so choose somewhere you will still recognise in five years. The area size you set decides how close you need to get next time: a bigger area is easier to find again, a smaller one is harder for anyone else to guess. Recovery uses your zones up: after one, you set new zones before full protection returns.

Withdrawals still ask you first. Outside your Safe zones they wait for the away wait you set: 1, 3 or 7 days, with 7 as the default. Then you approve from wherever you are. Step into a Safe zone sooner and it's ready then. If you want a shorter wait while travelling, change it in advance: like every protection change it takes effect after a cooling-off period, never straight away.

Changes to your protection settings are deliberately not instant, so someone holding your phone can't weaken your protection and drain it in one go. The app shows you when a change takes effect.

If your phone can't confirm your location, GeoSafe treats you as away: the withdrawal waits rather than fails. Uncertainty adds time; it never takes it away. Turn location on for the moment you approve and it checks again.

A faked location without your registered phone and your Face ID is nothing. They still can't sign. And a new phone can't take over your Vault without your recovery zones and the wait.

One registered phone per Vault. Moving to a new phone uses recovery, your zones plus the 48-hour delay, so that nobody can quietly add a second device.

Deploying a Vault and moving money are blockchain transactions, so normal network gas applies. It is paid from a gas reserve held in the app, and the app shows the estimate before you confirm.

The app is free for the beta and will stay free at launch. Fees may be introduced later as the product develops and new features arrive, and we will say so clearly before anything changes. Network gas is separate and always applies, as above.

EVM chains first, through WalletConnect. iOS beta on the App Store, September 2026.

An independent audit is scheduled before public launch and the report will be published on the Security page. Until then the app is a beta: start with an amount you'd be comfortable testing with.

No. Location is read only at the moment you tap Approve or set a zone, never in the background. Your zones are held on your phone and never stored by GeoSafe in readable form. See the Privacy policy.

Whoever you trust can recover the Vault the same way you would: with your recovery zones and the 48-hour delay. That means telling them your recovery zones while you can. It is the one exception to sharing them, and only with someone you'd trust with the money itself.
