How long does it take to secure my digital estate?

It takes less than 5 minutes to set up your account, upload your most important files, and designate your trusted contacts. Our protocol handles the rest autonomously, ensuring your legacy is secured forever without ongoing effort.

Is there a monthly fee for permanent storage?

No. Inheribase is free to get started. We have eliminated monthly subscriptions in favor of a pay-as-you-go model. Once your files are secured in our protocol, they are stored permanently on Arweave, meaning you never have to worry about credit card expirations or data deletion.

What happens to my digital assets when I pass away?

Inheribase monitors your activity through conditional dead man's switches. If you become inactive, your encrypted vault automatically unlocks and transfers your cryptocurrency, passwords, and digital life's work directly to your pre-assigned trusted contacts. No attorneys or complex legal procedures are required.

How does persistent encrypted memory for AI agents work?

Using our MCP server, AI agents can write directly to an encrypted, permanent vault on the Arweave network. This allows autonomous agents to maintain state, memory, and transaction history indefinitely, providing a sovereign alternative to rented cloud servers.

Arweave vs. IPFS: Choosing the Right Permanent Storage

Pinning vs. Endowment

While IPFS is excellent for decentralized routing, it requires "pinning"—nodes must actively choose to host the data, which often requires recurring payments to a pinning service.

Arweave, however, utilizes a unique economic model where an upfront payment acts as an endowment, covering the cost of storage in perpetuity. This makes Arweave the only logically sound choice for storing Digital Wills and permanent AI agent states.

Key Differences

IPFS — Content-addressed, requires active pinning, data can disappear if no nodes host it
Arweave — Blockweave-based, single payment for permanent storage, economic incentives ensure data persistence for 200+ years
Filecoin — Contract-based storage deals with expiration dates, requires renewal

Why Permanence Matters for Inheritance

Digital inheritance operates on generational timescales. A storage solution that requires monthly payments or periodic renewal fundamentally cannot serve as the backbone of a digital will. Only true permanence—guaranteed by economic endowment, not subscription—provides the assurance that your legacy will survive.
