How it works

Permanent closure can never be undone.

Closing the account removes your future access and control. Historical DLT records may continue to exist as immutable audit trails.

Planned protocol functionSubject to legal clarification

The account can never be reopened

The old key cannot reactivate the account. No administrator can do it for you.

You lose active control

After closure you have no more access to the account than an external observer.

The history remains

The ledger records remain. Your personal access and dashboard disappear.

A new account requires a new application

A person may later apply for a new account. That requires a valid membership, a new application, new identity verification, a new digital credential, a new key, a new VPLedger account and a new DLT address. The old account is never reopened — new participation requires a new account.
