Starter Guide

Legacy Protocol Starter Guide: A simple way to pass on your crypto.

Before You Start:

  • For now, it only works on the BASE chain (more chains coming soon).

  • You’ll need to hold some $LGCY tokens in your wallet to activate your plan in the future. For now it is free.


  1. Pick Your Inheritance Plan

You have two options:

  • Immediate Inheritance = your inheritor can claim the crypto anytime.

  • Time-Based Inheritance = they can only claim if your wallet goes inactive for a while (like 30, 60, or 120 days).

  1. Choose What You Want to Pass On

Pick the tokens you want to include and approve them for transfer by the smart contract.

(Don’t worry — this doesn’t move your tokens yet, it just gives permission.)

  1. Set Your Inheritor

Type in the wallet address of the person you want to receive your crypto.

  1. Activate Your Plan

Make sure your wallet holds the minimum $LGCY token required. This keeps your inheritance plan active and running.


Then, one of two things happens:

If You Chose “Immediate”:

Your inheritor can claim tokens anytime by clicking a button.

If You Chose “Time-Based”:

The smart contract watches your wallet. If you disappear (no transactions) for the time you picked, your inheritor can then claim.


Safety First:

  • Your crypto stays in your wallet until all conditions are met.

  • The person inheriting your assets can’t touch anything early.

  • Everything is on-chain and transparent.
