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.

How a Decentralized Dead Man's Switch Works

The Anatomy of the Switch

A Dead Man's Switch is a mechanism designed to be activated if the human operator becomes incapacitated. In the context of digital inheritance, it is the trigger that automatically releases a user's encrypted vault to their heirs.

The Check-in: The user establishes a heartbeat or "Proof of Liveness." This might involve connecting their wallet and signing a transaction every 6, 12, or 24 months.
The Contestation Period: If a check-in is missed, the system enters a grace period (default: 30 days, configurable 14–180). During this time, the user is aggressively notified via multiple channels to prevent an accidental trigger.
The Execution: If the contestation period expires without a check-in, the smart contract automatically changes state, granting the predefined heirs access to decrypt the vault.

Decentralization is Key

A centralized Dead Man's Switch relies on a traditional server cron job, which can fail if the company shuts down. A decentralized switch uses blockchain consensus and decentralized keeper networks to guarantee execution. The code is law, and the execution is inevitable, ensuring the transfer of your assets exactly as programmed.
