The Cube · Defense Against Darkness
You own it, and you can leave.
Defense Against Darkness is what keeps the thing you built in your hands: six things in your name, a map of every account and key, and a written way out.
The fleet ships
What goes in. What comes out.
You bring what you already have. The fleet does five things with it, in order. At the end, what it made is yours.
You bring
- Every account you sign in to
- Where your domains are registered
- Who else holds a key
You hold
- The six things, in your name
- The map of every account and key
- A written way out
Defense Against Darkness
What it does
Three things, each with a circle where it already stands.
Six things, in your name
The domain, the code, the data, the list, the logins and the media are handed over in your name.
Emma WilliamsA nonprofit, on ground it owns.
The map, never the keys
Every account and key is written on one manifest: where it lives and who holds it. The secrets themselves stay in your own vault.
A way out, written down
Plain files and open formats. Leaving any host takes an afternoon.
Nick AtlasPlain files on ground he owns.
Its one number
What happens if I disappear tomorrow.
One number is agreed before any work starts, and read again after.
Already standing
Launching with real circles
These are not mockups. They are pages people use.

Plain questions
Before you ask
What if the person who built it is gone?
That is this face’s number. The answer is written down before the work starts: who holds each key, and how the site keeps standing.
Where do my passwords live?
In your own vault. The manifest is the map, never the keys, and a key is never written into a chat or a file.
What is the one number?
What happens if I disappear tomorrow. It is agreed before any work starts, and read again after.
What do I own at the end?
All of it. The domain, the code, the data, the list, the logins and the media are handed over in your name.
What if I want to leave?
You can leave at any time, with all of it.
