As of 2025, Smilegate has shown willingness to modernize old systems (e.g., Hunt 13, Ancient Inheritance). Community requests for the Vault include:
The foundation of the E7 Vault is often or enterprise-grade SSDs in a RAID 10 configuration. However, the "vault" aspect comes from the cold-storage tier. Data that hasn't been accessed for 90 days is automatically migrated to LTO-9 tape or deep archive S3 Glacier.
For high-net-worth individuals, the E7 Vault serves as a digital safe deposit box. Store crypto wallet seeds, wills, and childhood photos. With the "Dead Man's Switch" feature, if you don't log in for 6 months, the vault automatically distributes access keys to your heirs.
