Eliminate conflicts of interest — your trustee manages the assets; you don't know what's in the portfolio.
138|132|A Blind Trust places your assets under the control of an independent trustee who has full discretion over investment decisions. As the beneficiary, you have no knowledge of the trust's specific holdings or transactions — hence the term 'blind.' This structure is widely used by public officials, corporate executives, and anyone whose position could create conflicts of interest between their personal investments and professional decisions.
145|139|Forged in Trust's blind trust platform includes independent trustee selection guidance, communication firewalls, and proper trust documentation that satisfies most ethics board requirements. We ensure the trust meets the necessary independence standards.
165|159|A Blind Trust transfers full investment control to an independent trustee, severing the trust creator from knowledge of specific holdings and transactions. The trustee manages, buys, and sells assets without consulting or informing the beneficiary-creator about individual investment decisions. This structure creates an enforceable informational barrier — the trust creator receives only periodic performance summaries without line-item detail, satisfying conflict-of-interest rules for public officials, corporate executives, and regulated professionals.
169|163|The Blind Trust eliminates conflicts of interest by making it structurally impossible for the trust creator to influence or benefit from knowledge of specific holdings. Regulatory bodies — including the SEC, Office of Government Ethics, and state bar associations — recognize properly structured blind trusts as sufficient to discharge insider trading and conflict-of-interest obligations. The trust shields the creator from accusations of impropriety because the informational barrier is baked into the trust instrument itself, not dependent on voluntary self-restraint.
173|167|After creation: (1) Transfer all reportable securities and assets into the trust within 30 days. (2) File the trust instrument with your agency's ethics office or compliance department. (3) The trustee must provide the initial asset schedule to the ethics officer. (4) Annual requirement: trustee files a summary report with the ethics office listing total trust value and net income categories only — no individual holdings. (5) When leaving office or position: trustee provides full liquidation or transfer instructions within 90 days of separation. (6) Maintain separate tax identification number for blind trust reporting.

221|215|Your trust instrument is one of the most important legal documents you will ever create. Here is why anchoring it to the blockchain changes everything.
227|221|A SHA-256 cryptographic hash of your executed trust is permanently embedded in the Bitcoin blockchain — the most secure computing network in human history. Once recorded, the hash cannot be altered, deleted, or disputed. If anyone later claims the trust was modified or never existed, the blockchain proves which document existed on which date. No court can override mathematics.
233|227|Trust documents get lost in moves. They get destroyed in fires, floods, and earthquakes. Disgruntled parties destroy them. Law firms close and lose their files. The blockchain does not lose documents. It does not burn. It does not flood. Your trust exists forever — independent of any physical copy.
239|233|In a trust dispute, the burden of proof falls on the party asserting the document's validity. The blockchain flips this dynamic. The timestamp is mathematical — not testimonial. No witness can forget. No memory can fade. The blockchain is the witness that cannot be cross-examined. Present the Blockstream Explorer link in court. The judge can verify it independently.
245|239|When action is needed, your trustee and beneficiaries do not need to find a law firm, open a safe deposit box, or petition a court just to confirm the trust exists. They visit the verification page. They see the blockchain proof. Immediate. Irrefutable. No waiting. No gatekeepers.
251|245|The Bitcoin blockchain is maintained by tens of thousands of nodes across every continent. No government can shut it down. No corporation can delete it. No law firm can lose it. The proof of your trust exists independently of Forged in Trust, independently of any institution, independently of any jurisdiction. Even if this company ceases to exist, the Bitcoin blockchain will still contain your document's fingerprint.
257|251|Bitcoin has been running continuously since January 3, 2009 — through financial crises, wars, pandemics, and regime changes. It has never been hacked. It has never been shut down. It has never lost a single transaction. Your trust, anchored to Bitcoin, will outlast the law firm that drafted it, the bank that stored it, and the government that notarized it. Your great-grandchildren will be able to verify it.
263|257|$497/year maintains the chain.
269|263|One price. Every tier. That covers re-verification, chain monitoring, amendment re-anchoring, and the infrastructure that keeps your trust's proof permanently alive on both Bitcoin and Polygon. Lawyers charge $8,000+ for a single blockchain anchoring. We maintain both chains for $497/year — and the proof never expires.
270|264|Why blockchain and quantum anchoring matters for a Blind Trust
282|276|A Blind Trust transfers full control of assets to an independent trustee, insulating the settlor from conflicts of interest — commonly used by public officials, corporate executives, and individuals entering sensitive positions. The blockchain anchor proves that the trust was established at a specific date with specific terms, preventing allegations that the settlor retained control or that assets were secretly moved after the trust's creation.
