No Third Parties

What “no third parties” means

In Decoy Phrase, No Third Parties means that no other parties—whether companies, institutions, or individuals—are trusted, granted access, or involved in protecting, storing, or recovering users’ seed phrases or sensitive data.

Decoy Phrase does not act as a custodian, does not store keys, and has no technical ability to access user data. The entire system is designed so that users do not need to trust anyone other than themselves.

Trust minimization

Most modern security systems rely on trust:

• Trust in service providers

• Trust in servers and administrators

• Trust in third-party policies, laws, or operational practices

Decoy Phrase minimizes trust by:

• Running sensitive processes offline and client-side

• Eliminating backends that store secrets

• Using blockchain-based permanent storage that cannot be modified or deleted by any party

• Relying on cryptography and architecture rather than promises or policies

The result is a system where security does not depend on the goodwill of third parties, but on technical designs that make external access impossible.

Ownership & control model

In the Decoy Phrase model:

• Users fully own and control their data, files, and access

• There are no centralized accounts that can be blocked, censored, or deleted by administrators

• There are no system-level reset, recovery, or override mechanisms

• Access rights are determined by the user’s encryption keys.

Decoy Phrase shifts security ownership from institutions to individuals, making the protection and inheritance of sensitive data both the full right and responsibility of the user.
