Heirloom

✦ Concept

Digital estate planning for crypto holders. Create Bitcoin Ordinals that contain encrypted access instructions for your wallets, along with personal messages. Your heirs receive the Ordinal immediately but can only decrypt it after probate verification through our legal partner network.

Target

Bitcoin holders over 40 with significant holdings who have children or designated heirs

Revenue

$299 one-time setup fee + $89 annual verification service. Legal partner network pays us $150 referral fee per probate case processed.

💡 Why It Works

"Crypto inheritance is broken because private keys die with people, but existing solutions require trusting third parties with your keys. Ordinals solve this by making the inheritance itself part of Bitcoin's permanent record."
