Frequently asked questions

A Digital Memory Vault is a permanent, encrypted home for personal and cultural memory: photographs, voices, letters, video and documents, organised by artificial intelligence and protected by cryptographic proof of authenticity. Unlike cloud storage, it is designed around preservation and transmission rather than convenience and sync.

A digital legacy is everything you leave behind in digital form. It includes both the material itself and the context that makes it meaningful — names, dates, relationships and stories. Preserving a digital legacy means keeping that material readable and verifiable for generations, and passing it on to the people you choose.

Cloud services keep files available while you pay and while the company exists. They are not designed to outlive you, to prove authenticity decades later, or to transmit an archive to named beneficiaries under defined conditions. Bottle on the Sea is building that missing infrastructure layer.

You nominate beneficiaries and attach conditions to each: immediate access, delayed release, or release on verified events. Different people can receive different parts of the archive. Independent verifiers, such as notaries, can participate in the transmission process without holding custody of your content.

The architecture uses end-to-end encryption and is post-quantum ready by design, with cryptographic integrity proofs and geographic redundancy. Preservation horizons are measured in decades, so the security model is designed against future capabilities, not only current ones.

Yes. Our founding team already masters DNA data storage on silicon plaques — encoding digital information into synthetic DNA fixed on silicon substrates. The first vault runs on proven cloud and encryption infrastructure; the DNA-on-silicon layer is integrated as industrial capacity scales, so durability never rests on a promise.

Bottle on the Sea is a pre-seed deep-tech venture. The technology architecture is defined and we are raising capital to build the platform, validate the security model and launch first pilots with families, private archives and notarial practices. Joining the waitlist places you in that first cohort.

Pricing is being defined with the first pilot cohort. The model combines a vault subscription with premium preservation services for high-value archives and institutional programmes. Pilot participants help shape it.

Our ambition goes beyond storage. The vault's AI will organise a life's memories — photos, personal letters, voice notes, videos — into living, navigable timelines. The owner defines who receives them and on what date; transmission is then executed automatically under those conditions. As immersive display technologies such as holographic rendering mature, the vault is designed to serve them: the archive is the permanent layer, and the experience layer evolves with time. The same applies to institutional archives — a foundation that can outlive every interface built on top of it.

Yes. The infrastructure that preserves a family's archive preserves cultural heritage. Museums, public institutions, states and organisations hold collections that must remain authentic, readable and transmissible for decades or centuries — exactly the problem the Digital Memory Vault is designed to solve: AI-organised archives, cryptographic proof of authenticity, defined access conditions, and durability anchored in DNA data storage on silicon, a technology our founding team already masters. Institutional and notarial pilot programmes are being prepared now.

Three families of use cases share one infrastructure. Individuals and families preserve and transmit a life: photographs, letters, voices, organised by AI and passed to named beneficiaries under defined conditions. Notaries and legal professionals accompany the transmission of digital estates under controlled procedure. Institutions — museums, states, foundations, enterprises — secure cultural and organisational memory against time, tampering and technological obsolescence. In each case, the owner keeps control: they decide what is preserved, who receives it, and when.

Bottle on the Sea Sp. z o.o. is registered in Warsaw, Poland, founded by O. Aleksander and J. Yushkevich, with technical and scientific advisors engaged around preservation, cryptography and long-term storage.
