What Is Crypto Legacy and Why It Matters
Cryptocurrency wallets do not rely on banks or centralized authorities. If the wallet owner loses access — due to illness, accident, or any unforeseen event — the assets may become inaccessible forever.
Crypto Legacy solves this by allowing you to:
- Designate a specific heir
- Choose an inactivity period (6 months, 1 year, or 3 years)
- Automatically transfer all assets if inactivity conditions are met
If you do not log in or confirm activity during the selected period, Cropty initiates the transfer of your entire balance to the designated heir.
Why Set It Up?
- Protect your family’s future — Your assets go to someone you trust.
- No legal intermediaries required — The process is configured directly in the wallet.
- Clear and transparent conditions — You define the inactivity timeframe.
- Fully automated execution — No manual action required once configured.
⚠️ Important: Once the account is deactivated and assets are transferred, the operation is irreversible. Only designate someone you fully trust.
How to Designate an Heir in Cropty Wallet
Follow these steps to activate Crypto Legacy:
Step 1. Open the Crypto Legacy Section
In the Cropty app, navigate to Crypto Legacy. On the introductory screen, review the feature overview and tap Continue to begin setup.
Step 2. Enter the Heir’s Email Address
In the Inheritor’s E-mail field, enter the email address of the person you trust. Repeat the same email in Repeat Inheritor’s E-mail to confirm accuracy.
At this stage, no notification is sent to the specified email address.
Step 3. Select the Inactivity Period
Choose how long your account can remain inactive:
- 6 months
- 1 year
- 3 years
If no login or activity confirmation occurs during the selected period, the system considers the account inactive and initiates the transfer process automatically.
Step 4. Review and Save
Double-check the entered email and selected inactivity period. If needed, you can remove the heir using DELETE and enter a different one.
Once saved, Crypto Legacy becomes active under the selected conditions.
How the Transfer Process Works
After the chosen inactivity period expires:
- The system verifies inactivity conditions.
- Your account is deactivated.
- All crypto assets on your balance are transferred to the designated heir.
This process cannot be reversed after completion.
