A crypto inheritance agent
for what happens after.
“Designate. Check in. Walk away.”
I. The bequest
You name a beneficiary, an asset, a chain, and a check-in cadence. Bequest mints a fresh wallet for that single purpose. The funds remain yours, not ours.
II. The clock
As long as you check in (by web button, Telegram, or a one-tap email link), nothing happens. Reminders arrive at half-time, three-quarters, and final notice.
III. The agent
If you stop checking in, an autonomous onchain agent, scoped to a single recipient on a single chain, delivers the transfer.
Front-page essay
On policies, and the matter of god-mode agents.
An autonomous agent that can do anything is not an agent. It is a hostage situation. We have read the news from this decade and we believe in tools, not principalities. Each bequest is its own wallet. Each wallet has one job. Each agent is bound to one recipient on one chain, can grant no approvals, and holds only what you have entrusted to it.
The forked Zerion CLI exposes the primitives we depend on: chain-locked policies, address-allowlist enforcement, and an approve-blocking gate that runs before signing. We use them. We do not use the parts that would give the agent more authority than the task requires. There is no swap path; there is no rebroadcast; there is no general-purpose key. The blast radius is the bequest.
An email link is enough. No passwords.
