TokenPocket has rolled out an "asset inheritance" feature in its latest wallet version, according to the company’s official X account. The update lets users name heirs in advance, set a long-term inactivity trigger, and define a cancellable waiting period, creating an automated inheritance process for on-chain assets. The feature is built for a self-custody wallet model, which means it does not rely on third-party custodians or centralized institutions. Instead, the inheritance flow is executed through smart contracts while users retain control of their private keys. TokenPocket frames the release as an exploration of on-chain asset inheritance and on-chain trust-like mechanisms. The stated aim is to address a long-standing problem in crypto: assets becoming difficult to pass on in cases such as lost private keys or the unexpected death of the holder. The company says the feature is designed to give users a more complete long-term asset management option.

As a self-custody wallet, TokenPocket said the inheritance model does not require third-party custody or any centralized institution. The process is executed through smart contracts, while users continue to hold control of their private keys.

The company described the feature as an exploration of on-chain asset inheritance and on-chain trust-like mechanisms. It is intended to address cases in which crypto assets become hard to inherit, including situations involving lost private keys or the unexpected death of the asset holder, and to offer users a more complete long-term asset management solution.
