Verifiable On-Chain Proof of Death
Ownership • Legacy • Access Control • Sovereignty
oracle-verified event trigger for automated inheritance activation
Verifiable On-Chain Proof of Death is a blockchain-based verification mechanism that confirms a death event using oracles, digital identity registries, or cryptographic attestations. Once validated, this proof automatically triggers inheritance protocols, conditional ownership delegation, or multisig releases, ensuring a trustless and jurisdiction-free transfer of wealth to designated heirs.
Use Case: An investor links $KAG, tokenized real estate, and DeFi assets to an automated inheritance protocol that activates only after a verifiable on-chain proof of death is confirmed by an oracle network, eliminating the need for legal probate or manual executor confirmation.
Key Concepts:
- Automated Inheritance Protocols — Smart contract-based triggers for wealth transfer
- Conditional Ownership Delegation — Transfer authority activated by predefined conditions
- Multisig Inheritance Structure — Multi-key authorization for secure generational transfer
- Generational Continuity Framework — Strategic design for uninterrupted wealth flow
- Legacy Protection Framework — Multi-generational wealth shield with automated distribution
Summary: Verifiable On-Chain Proof of Death ensures a transparent, automated, and jurisdiction-free trigger for transferring assets, removing reliance on legal systems while securing generational wealth continuity through smart contracts and decentralized oracles.
Oracle Verification Sources
how decentralized networks confirm death events
Pull from digitized death registries where available (opt-in jurisdictions)
Hospital or coroner systems issue cryptographic confirmation to oracle networks
Pre-designated family members or attorneys submit signed confirmations
Requires 3+ independent sources to agree before triggering smart contract
Prolonged wallet inactivity (12–24 months) triggers verification request automatically
Wearable devices or health apps feed liveness data to oracle for continuous verification
