I’m building a crypto inheritance platform — because $6T in crypto will be lost when its owners die
I've been building on blockchain for 8 years and kept thinking
about one unsolved problem:
What happens to your crypto when you die?
Your family can't access your wallet.
Your lawyer doesn't understand seed phrases.
Your private keys die with you.
It just... disappears forever.
This isn't theoretical — between 2.3 and 4 million Bitcoin are
already permanently lost, much of it from people dying without
any inheritance plan.
$6T in crypto is projected to transfer via inheritance by 2045.
Zero elegant solutions exist today.
So I'm building 0xWills.
Here's how it works technically:
- Built as a Safe Module on top of Gnosis Safe
- Assets NEVER leave your wallet while you're alive
- Hybrid death verification: dead man's switch + trusted
verifier voting + oracle layer
- Non-crypto beneficiaries supported — family members claim
with just an email, no wallet needed
- Bitcoin handled via CLTV timelocked pre-signed transactions
- AI layer guides non-technical users through setup
The core problem I solved: your funds stay in YOUR Safe wallet
the entire time. We never custody anything. The inheritance
module only triggers when death is verified through all three
layers.

Happy to answer any technical questions — especially around
the Safe Module architecture or the death verification system.
What would you want in a crypto inheritance platform?
