CryptoWill
Your digital will for cryptocurrencies
In this developing world of Blockchain, we are identified as our keys which is amazing, but…
- What if life takes a turn?
- What if you forget your private key and seed phrase?
- What if there is a fire and your computer which stored the keys dies?
- What if in an accident you suffer amnesia? Or worst case: what if you face a sudden demise?
CryptoWill provides a decentralized alternative to a traditional “will” and also solves the problem of dormant Cryptocurrencies!
It lets users store their cryptocurrencies in a decentralized “will”, so as to prevent their holdings from becoming dormant in case of loss of private keys or user demise.
I worked on this project during my Tezos India Fellowship, along with my teammate Udit Kapoor. I contributed to the front-end of the application by developing the React app with Typescript, and then integrating it with the SmartPy endpoints and contract storage with the Taquito.js Javascript library.
