How Vaults Simplify Estate Planning in Crypto

💡 TL;DR: Discover how vaults streamline estate planning in crypto, offering enhanced security and programmable rules for seamless asset management.

Introduction to Crypto Estate Planning 🔍

Estate planning is a crucial yet often overlooked aspect of managing cryptocurrency assets. Traditional methods can leave assets vulnerable, especially with the rise of sophisticated hacks. Using vaults for estate planning can offer significant advantages, making the process more secure and efficient.

Why Traditional Wallets Aren't Enough ❌

Traditional wallets, while useful for everyday transactions, fall short in estate planning due to several reasons:

Lack of Security Features: Most wallets lack advanced security protocols, making them susceptible to hacks.
Inadequate Access Controls: Inheritance often requires complex legal procedures to access funds.
Limited Automations: Traditional wallets don't support programmable rules for asset distribution.
