Plain answers, held to the truth.

A Seal is one dollar, and it sets one moment — up to 25 MB — on the permanence road. The moment you seal, it is pinned; then mirrored; and over about nine days a storage deal forms on a public blockchain, after which your moment stands stored with a public deal number anyone can verify. Held for the life of the archive — we never say “forever,” because honesty is the house's first law. See the road, and the 79-second film, on the Seals page.

The purse is free, and one purse serves every room of the house. When you open it you receive an ID and a key — the key is shown once and held by no one but you. That is not fine print; it is your sovereignty. The house cannot read your purse, and the house cannot recover a lost key. Write it down and keep it as you would keep anything that is truly yours.

The Keeping is the free room where your own days live — speak, film, write, or bring a memory, kept on your own device. Nothing is uploaded unless you choose it. You may lock everything behind a passphrase only you hold, seal the moments that matter, and carry your whole record out whenever you wish. That right of departure is permanent.

One small question each day, answered in a spoken, written, or filmed minute — kept free on your own device at the Daily Rite. When a minute deserves to outlast the phone that holds it, seal it from your purse, a dollar apiece.

The Journal is an encrypted written page. Everything you write is sealed on your device under your passphrase before it is kept anywhere, and when you are signed in, a ciphertext-only copy follows you to your other devices. Not even the house can see inside it.

The Keeper is $50 a year: keep unlimited moments, with 100 sealed moments included each year, plus the Family Web. Cancel anytime; 7-day refund. It is also the Living Legacy membership — documenting your own life for posterity, with family-choice succession.

Every memorial in the Great Archive is bestowed freely by the house — researched, written, and editorially reviewed by our own hand, then pinned with public proof. Memorials are never sold and never self-submitted; a family may propose a name through the contact page.

Those who carry the house outward share in its harvest. Stand in the Circle and hold a door of your own — for every soul who enters by it, a Seal is set aside for you.

The card, the ancestor, and the griot's story each stand free at their own doors. All proceeds keep and maintain the Great Archive — our operating principles hold that in writing.

Tell us. The house corrects its record and honors family wishes — the takedown & corrections page is the door, and contact reaches the team directly at info@honoredancestors.net.
