At GenWealth, we believe inheritance is one of the most overlooked challenges in crypto. With over $12.6B ADA in self-custody and an estimated $84B in assets to be inherited in the next 20 years, the risk of families losing wealth due to forgotten seed phrases or inaccessible wallets is real. Traditional inheritance systems are slow, costly, and heavily dependent on intermediaries — crypto needs a better way.
That’s why we’ve been building a Crypto Inheritance and Recovery Dapp on Cardano and submitted two proposals to Catalyst Fund 14.
- Your Self-Custodial Blockchain Will on Cardano — focused on building a front-end prototype, enabling users and inheritance firms to test real flows, give feedback, and ensure the experience works for both Web3 natives and non-tech-savvy beneficiaries.
- Inheritance Smart Contracts (Web3 and Real World) — a suite of seven open-source smart contracts to securely transfer assets, align with legal processes, and integrate seamlessly with wallets and dApps.
Together, these proposals go beyond technology — they address a human need: ensuring wealth and legacy are passed on with security, simplicity, and peace of mind. By supporting them, the Cardano community can lead in blockchain inheritance, strengthening adoption and long-term value for the ecosystem.
We invite you to review and support our proposals this voting phase. With your help, inheritance on Cardano can become secure, seamless, and accessible for all. Vote “Yes”
