Inheritance is the fundamental building block of civilization. This is the addition of wealth, knowledge and properties over time that produce the society in which we are living. Every generation does not have to start from zero and can capitalize on the efforts of previous generations. Blockchain based assets are very efficiently and securely transferred between living entities. Yet the actual way to make heirs inherit crypto-assets is seldom discussed. It appears that the problems linked with the inheritance of crypto-assets raise a lot of technical, societal and legal issues. Part of those issues have to be tackled with at the level of the blockchain infrastructure itself. The aim of this paper is to open a research field, and to discuss some ideas, with regards to this overlooked issue. Inheritance is neither a peripheral question nor one that can be dodged. It comes with its own set of challenges that have to be met if blockchain based finance, and asset management, is to be taken seriously.
翻译：继承是文明的基本基石,这是财富、知识和财产的积累,随着时间的推移,产生我们所生活的社会。每一代人不必从零开始,而是能够利用前几代人的努力。以链锁为基础的资产在活体实体之间非常高效和安全地转移。然而,很少讨论让继承人继承加密资产的实际方法。与加密资产继承有关的问题似乎引起了许多技术、社会和法律问题。这些问题的一部分必须在链锁基础设施本身一级解决。本文的目的是打开一个研究领域,讨论一些关于这个被忽视的问题的想法。遗产既不是一个外围问题,也不是一个可以回避的问题。如果要认真对待以链锁为基础的金融和资产管理,就必须解决其自身的一系列挑战。
