Forgotten pre-sale password
You still have the pre-sale JSON file but the password set in 2014 is no longer remembered exactly.
Wallet recovery
Ethereum Pre-Sale
Recover access to Ethereum Pre-Sale (2014) wallets when the JSON file or original password is no longer available.
How Ethereum Pre-Sale works at a glance
The 2014 Ethereum pre-sale issued JSON wallet files protected by user-chosen passwords. A decade on, many of those wallets still hold significant balances but the JSON or the password — or both — have been lost. These cases need careful, methodical work.
Situations we commonly help with
If any of these sound like your case, we've handled it before.
Lost JSON file, address known
You know the pre-sale address but the JSON file is missing — we look for it in old backups and email archives.
Both file and password partially known
You have fragments of both and need a combined recovery effort.
Need a secure migration plan
Once recovered, you want a careful plan for moving funds to a current wallet without exposing the keys.
