DigitalWill is a blockchain-based smart contract system that lets users create tamper-proof digital wills, deposit cryptocurrency, and automate inheritance distribution after a configurable inactivity period. It provides beneficiary management, a "proof of life" activity confirmation, personalized final messages, transparent event logging, and gas-efficient on-chain execution — all without intermediaries.

To empower individuals to secure and automate the transfer of their digital legacy by providing a transparent, tamper-proof, user-friendly smart contract solution that eliminates intermediaries while preserving control, privacy, and legal clarity for beneficiaries.

Digital assets and crypto holdings are particularly hard to pass on because access depends on private keys and centralized services. There is a gap for a reliable, automated, and verifiable way to ensure digital assets are transferred exactly as the owner intends.
DigitalWill solves this by using an immutable Ethereum smart contract to:
