Introduction To Legacy

Legacy Protocol introduces a secure and intuitive solution designed to simplify crypto inheritance and ensure robust asset protection. Built specifically for digital asset holders, Legacy Protocol streamlines the inheritance process, enabling seamless transfer and safeguarding your crypto investments from loss or inaccessibility.

Understanding Crypto Inheritance Challenges

Cryptocurrencies present unique inheritance challenges, primarily due to their decentralized nature and reliance on private keys and passwords. Traditional inheritance methods are insufficient for handling these digital assets, often resulting in permanent loss when private keys or wallet credentials are misplaced, forgotten, or inaccessible to heirs.


How Legacy Protocol Works

Legacy Protocol offers innovative solutions tailored to mitigate these risks through simple yet powerful inheritance mechanisms:

  • Immediate and Timed Inheritance (Protocols one and two): Set your inheritance preferences clearly—either immediately accessible by designated wallets or after a specified inactivity period.

  • Validator-Based Inheritance (Release TBA): Introduces enhanced security by requiring multiple validations before asset transfer.

  • NFT and ERC-20 Support (Release TBA): Flexible inheritance mechanisms for both fungible tokens (ERC-20) and non-fungible tokens (ERC-721).


Key Benefits of Legacy Protocol

  • Fully On-chain, Non-Custodial: Complete user control without reliance on intermediaries.

  • Transparent and Secure: Blockchain-based inheritance processes ensure transparency and reliability.

  • User-Friendly Interface: Simplifies setup and management, making digital asset inheritance accessible to all users, regardless of technical expertise.
