# Sentinel Protocol FAQ

|
### Q1: If the Sentinel Protocol company goes bankrupt, can I still recover my data and legacy?
|
|
**A: Yes.** Sentinel Protocol was designed with "non-dependency" in mind:
|
|
* **Data Persistence**: Your core data is stored in decentralized storage networks like Arweave/Filecoin, so physical persistence does not rely on our central servers.
|
|
* **Self-Rescue Kit**: The decryption tool code is completely open source. Even if the company disappears, as long as you hold the complete mnemonic or shards (S0/S1/S2), you can independently extract data using open-source tools.
|
|
* **DAO Takeover**: Smart contracts automatically monitor company activity. Once an "incapacitated state" is triggered, protocol control is automatically transferred to a Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO).

### Q2: How to prevent the heir (holding S2) and the platform (holding S1) from colluding to steal my assets?
|
|
**A: Technical isolation makes collusion impossible.**
|
|
Before your status is determined as "Released", the distributed nodes storing S1 shards are in a **logically locked state**. Any node will reject any collision request until it detects a "Proof of Status" on the blockchain (a legitimate release signal signed by the smart contract). Even if the heir holds the S2 credential, without the system-generated release instruction, the ciphertext content cannot be reverse-engineered.

### Q3: If I am just temporarily in a coma or working in a signal-free area (like the high seas), will the system misjudge me as deceased?
|
|
**A: No.** We have designed a **Double-Lock Mechanism**.
|
|
* **Freeze Period**: You can preset a freeze period of 180-365 days. When the heartbeat signal is interrupted, the system first enters a "Pending" state.
|
|
* **One-Click Abort**: During the long freeze period, as long as you come back online or your emergency contact intervenes, the release process will be immediately aborted and reset.
|
|
* **Sleep Mode**: If you plan to go on a long offline expedition, you can directly turn on "Sleep Mode" to pause monitoring.

### Q4: My financial situation is unstable recently, can I temporarily stop the subscription?
|
|
**A: Yes.** You can turn on "Pause/Sleep Mode" at any time.
|
|
* **Physical Persistence**: During the pause, although active services like AI monitoring will stop, your data remains physically sealed in the storage network and will not be deleted.
|
|
* **Wake Up Anytime**: You only need to pay a small amount of storage maintenance fees in the future to restore active status with one click.
|
|
* **Extreme Extraction**: Even if an extreme situation occurs during the pause, the heir can still settle the outstanding fees and extract assets according to the protocol.

### Q5: When AI sorts data, will it pry into my privacy (such as passwords, will content)?
|
|
**A: Absolutely not.**
|
|
* **Local Encryption**: Data is high-strength encrypted before leaving your device.
|
|
* **Shadow Proxy Technology**: AI only processes metadata within the **TEE (Trusted Execution Environment)** hardware. AI is only responsible for indexing and suggesting archiving; it does not have the key permissions to decrypt ciphertext and cannot read file content.

### Q6: Is Sentinel Protocol legally effective? Can the heir use the exported key to confirm rights?
|
|
**A: Yes.**
|
|
* **Legal Pre-statement**: When you set the S2 recipient, the system generates a digitally signed "Notification Letter", clarifying that this act constitutes a legal "gift/inheritance" authorization.
|
|
* **Notarization Linkage**: For L2 level users, we provide full-process legal notarization support.
|
|
* **Multi-dimensional Evidence**: The extraction process is recorded by the blockchain, ensuring the authenticity of the inheritance act and avoiding legal disputes.

### Q7: Why is the persistence period for L0 users only 10 years?
|
|
**A: This is to ensure the robustness of the financial model.**
|
|
10 years is a financial break-even point designed to cover the initial storage costs of the decentralized network and the hedging fees of the protocol reserve pool. After expiration, the data enters an "overdue retention state", and the heir only needs to make up for the minimal storage gap for the overdue period to complete the extraction. This design ensures that the protocol remains resilient over decades.

### Q8: If I lose all my mnemonic phrases, can you help me recover them?
|
|
**A: Sorry, we cannot do that.**
|
|
Sentinel Protocol adheres to the **non-custodial** principle. If you lose all shards and have not backed up the original mnemonic, since the platform does not possess your full set of private keys, no one can forcibly open your vault. This is both a guarantee of sovereignty and the final boundary of security.
