Decentralized-Digital-Inheritance-Assets-Using-Blockchain

System based on blockchain technology and smart contracts. The system aims to address the growing problem of managing and transferring digital assets such as cryptocurrency wallets, domains, cloud storage, NFTs, and gaming assets after the owner’s death. The proposed solution introduces a Dead Man’s Switch mechanism, where users are required to perform periodic check-ins. In case of prolonged inactivity, the system automatically triggers a smart contract that securely transfers access to designated heirs. The system leverages blockchain technology to ensure transparency, immutability, and security, while decentralized storage (IPFS) is used to protect sensitive data through encryption. The platform integrates modern technologies including Ethereum, Solidity, Web3.js, and decentralized storage solutions to provide a fully automated, secure, and trustless inheritance process without relying on centralized authorities or complex legal procedures.
