A trust deed you do not have to take on faith.
A deed says who holds what, for whom, and on what terms. For centuries it has then gone into a drawer, and you have been asked to trust the drawer.
We are building a platform that records the deed on a public blockchain instead, so it is timestamped, independently verifiable, and hard to alter quietly.
Everyone who owns something eventually faces the same question
Who looks after this, for whom, and on what terms, when I am not there to say so myself. A trust deed is the oldest answer we have to that question.
A child who is not ready
Assets meant for someone too young, or not yet able, to manage them. The deed names who holds it, and the conditions on which it passes.
A dependant who needs care
Provision for a relative with a long term condition, structured so support continues without depending on any one person staying willing and able.
A family across borders
Heirs in different countries, under different legal systems. The evidence of what was agreed has to survive that distance.
The instrument is sound. Its custody is not.
A paper deed has the same four weaknesses it has always had. It can be lost. It can be altered. It can be delayed behind an intermediary who is in no hurry. And proving it is genuine is slow and expensive, precisely at the moment somebody is disputing it.
How it works today
- The deed exists as a document, held somewhere by someone.
- Beneficiaries are told what it says. Verifying it means asking the person holding it.
- A change leaves no independent trace of what came before.
- Proving authenticity happens in a dispute, slowly, at cost.
- Cost compounds across decades of administration.
What we are designing
- The essential facts are committed to a public blockchain when the deed is created.
- Anyone entitled to check can verify the record without asking permission.
- The timestamp cannot be quietly moved and the history cannot be silently rewritten.
- Authenticity is established up front, not litigated afterwards.
- Sensitive contents stay private. What goes on chain is proof, not your paperwork.
When the evidence fails, the estate pays for it
These are documented, publicly reported cases. Each one turned on a question a verifiable record answers directly: what was written, by whom, and when.
No will, and six years of process
Prince died in April 2016 without a will. The value of the estate itself became the dispute, settling at $156.4 million in January 2022 after the administrator and the tax authority disagreed by roughly $80 million. Distribution was approved in August 2022. Two of the six heirs died while it ran.

A valid will, under a couch cushion
Aretha Franklin died in August 2018 and was initially believed to have left no will. Three handwritten documents were found in her home in 2019, one of them under a couch cushion. A Michigan jury held that document to be a valid will in July 2023, nearly five years after her death.
What is real today, stated plainly
The platform is in development. You cannot create or manage a deed today, and we are not going to describe it as though you can.
What exists right now is the token intended to fuel it. SWED has been on the Tron network since 12 May 2021. These figures are not ours, they are the chain's, and this page reads them directly each night.

We will publish a development timeline when we have one we are prepared to be held to. We would rather show you no date than a date that slips.
The token intended to fuel the platform
SWED is a TRC20 token on Tron with 6 decimals.
It confers no ownership of the company, no dividend, no profit share and no voting right. No return is promised or implied, and nobody is obliged to buy it from you.
