EmitKey Whitepaper
Time-Anchored Access & Digital Legacy
A blockchain-based utility token for verifiable time-anchoring and digital legacy management.
This Whitepaper introduces EmitKey Core (Token: EMKY), a blockchain-based utility token designed to simplify time-anchored access and improve digital legacy management. EmitKey offers a simple, verifiable, and fully decentralized method to prove the occurrence of an action at a specific time, without relying on centralized systems or complex smart contracts.
By leveraging immutable blockchain transactions on the Base network, EmitKey enables a new paradigm for secure backups, decentralized automation, and robust digital legacy solutions. It integrates seamlessly within the DeathBox ecosystem for posthumous data handling.
In an increasingly digital world, the ability to irrefutably prove when an event occurred - or when access should be granted - without depending on a central authority is becoming essential. Existing methods often rely on centralized databases that are vulnerable to breaches, manipulation, or single points of failure.
EmitKey addresses this challenge by providing a decentralized, transparent, and immutable solution for time-anchored access and digital legacy.
EMKY is an ERC-20 utility token deployed on the Base network. Base was chosen for its low transaction fees and high throughput, making EmitKey operations efficient and cost-effective.

Transaction Fees:
- • 0% on-chain transfer fees
- • Only 0.3% allocated to EMKY developers (in addition to standard gas fees)
- • All liquidity provided via Uniswap DEX — ensuring no honeypot risk
When a user acquires EMKY, a public and immutable transaction is created on the Base network. This transaction serves as a cryptographic timestamp or unlock trigger and forms the basis of all EmitKey functionalities.
Note on Liquidity:
EMKY is designed as a functional utility token to facilitate time-anchored code generation — not as a speculative or trading asset.
Only a single token is required to unlock EmitKey's full capabilities, and users typically conduct one-time micro-transactions.
As such, high liquidity is not necessary, and the token's utility remains fully intact with a minimal pool.
The low liquidity also reduces exposure to price manipulation, ensuring EMKY remains a stable access mechanism rather than a volatile financial instrument.
Important:
Always verify the EMKY token contract address before purchasing. Fake tokens may exist on decentralized exchanges. Only transactions involving the official EMKY token will work with EmitKey.
EmitKey distinguishes itself through several key advantages:
Direct Wallet Interaction
No need for identity verification or complex sign-ups. Users interact directly from their non-custodial blockchain wallets.
Entirely On-Chain
The system operates without backend servers, databases, or centralized storage. All data used for code derivation remains permanently on the blockchain.
Full Transparency
Every transaction is publicly verifiable.
Immutability
Once recorded, transactions cannot be altered or deleted, ensuring the integrity of the time anchor.
Open-Ended Interoperability
EmitKey's simple, on-chain mechanism allows seamless integration with diverse applications and services.
EmitKey transforms a standard blockchain transaction into a unique, retrievable code. The process involves four steps:
EMKY Purchase
A user acquires EmitKey Core Tokens (preferably via the Base network for low fees).
Transaction Data as Anchor
Data from this transaction - such as the transaction hash, block number, or timestamp - becomes the immutable "code anchor." These elements are unique and permanently accessible on-chain.
Code Derivation
Using the EmitKey platform's Token Lookup Tool, the user (or a designated recipient) inputs their wallet address. The tool fetches the relevant EmitKey Core transactions and, based on a pre-agreed derivation method, generates a unique code.
Code Format
The generated code includes "Emky" as a prefix and "!" as a suffix (e.g., Emky74h84451a0!) to help fulfill common password complexity requirements.
Example Use Case: Manual Time-Lock
A user buys EMKY, generating a transaction hash. This hash acts as proof of intent or a timestamp to unlock an encrypted file.
Example instruction: "Use the last 10 characters of the EMKY transaction hash from July 9, 2025, from wallet 0xABC...."
This ensures the code exists but is only accessible to those who know the derivation method.
EmitKey's utility extends across various critical areas:
While EmitKey offers significant benefits, it is important to understand its inherent limitations:
Public Nature of Transactions
All EmitKey Core transactions are visible on the blockchain. Only the transaction data is public — not the code derived from it or the information it protects.
Off-Chain Verification in Manual Use Cases
In manual workflows, the user must remember the specific derivation method. EmitKey provides the immutable data source, but the "key" to deriving the correct code is knowing and communicating the method.
Proof of Time, Not Data Storage
EmitKey serves as a proof of time and an immutable derivation anchor. It does not directly store or protect sensitive data.
EmitKey's vision is to become a universal tool for non-custodial, wallet-native time anchoring. Future plans include:
Plugin for Cloud/File Services
Developing integrations for major cloud storage platforms to support seamless time-locked file sharing.
API for Web3 dApps
Providing an API to allow decentralized applications to integrate EmitKey functionalities.
Protocol for Decentralized Identity Signals
Exploring EmitKey's use in verifiable, time-stamped identity signals within decentralized identity frameworks.
Community and Governance
We are exploring community engagement strategies, including the potential introduction of community-led governance via a DAO structure. Our goal is to build a vibrant ecosystem where token holders can participate in project evolution and decision-making.
Partnerships
We are actively seeking strategic partnerships to expand EmitKey's reach. Details and announcements will be shared as collaborations materialize.

EMKY is solely intended as a utility token for time-anchored access and digital legacy management within the EmitKey ecosystem. It is not a financial product, investment vehicle, or security. Nothing in this document constitutes an offer or solicitation to buy or sell EMKY tokens.
Users should conduct their own due diligence and understand the inherent risks of blockchain technology and utility tokens.
