Trustless Security in Crypto with BitInPeace
BitInPeace enables secure, trustless crypto inheritance without ever holding your keys. Using pre-signed transactions and inactivity-based execution, it ensures your Bitcoin or Ethereum is transferred as planned, while you retain full control. A non-custodial, privacy-first solution for digital legacy planning. This article explains how BitInPeace achieves trustless security in crypto inheritance.

How BitInPeace Enables Secure Inheritance—Without Ever Holding Your Keys
In a world where crypto gives individuals complete control over their assets, security becomes both a responsibility and a risk. Private keys unlock access to funds—but if lost, forgotten, or inaccessible, the assets are effectively gone.
This absolute ownership model, while empowering, creates a significant challenge: what happens to your Bitcoin or Ethereum when you're no longer around? Traditional estate planning falls short, and many crypto holders have no concrete solution.
BitInPeace was built to fill that gap. It enables secure, automated inheritance planning for self-custody users without ever holding your keys, compromising your control, or requiring complex technical setups.
🔐 Why “Trustless” Matters in Crypto Inheritance
Trustless systems are central to blockchain philosophy. They’re designed to remove the need for implicit trust in third parties, replacing it with verifiable systems and cryptographic assurance.
BitInPeace applies this principle to digital inheritance. Instead of asking users to trust a service with their private keys, it uses pre-signed transactions—authorized in advance by the user, stored securely, and executed only after a defined period of inactivity.
The system doesn’t touch your assets, doesn’t know your keys, and doesn’t relocate funds. Your crypto stays exactly where it belongs: in your wallet, under your control, until the moment it’s needed.
⚙️ How BitInPeace Works
The process is simple, designed to take less than 10 minutes:
- Connect Your Wallet
BitInPeace supports major wallets like Ledger, Trezor, Unisat, Phantom, and Exodus. You prove ownership by signing a message—your keys stay local, never shared. - Set Up Inheritance Rules
Choose a recipient address, define how long the system should wait during inactivity, and decide how often you want to receive activity check-ins. - Sign a Future Transaction
You create and sign a transaction that transfers funds to your chosen recipient. This signed transaction is encrypted and stored securely by BitInPeace. - Automated Monitoring and Execution
BitInPeace checks for activity by watching your wallet for any asset transfers and tracking actions on the platform, like manual resets. You’ll also receive regular reminder emails. If no activity is detected within your chosen timeframe, the platform automatically broadcasts the pre-signed transaction, completing the transfer securely and as planned.
This setup avoids centralized custody while providing an automated inheritance plan. If you’re still active, you can update or cancel the plan at any time. If you're not, your designated recipient receives the funds according to your instructions.
🧠 Designed for Simplicity and Control
While crypto inheritance can be a technical minefield, BitInPeace focuses on clarity, control, and adaptability.
- You never have to migrate assets to a new wallet.
- There are no smart contracts to write or maintain.
- You don’t have to share secrets with anyone—not even BitInPeace.
The service is built for people who value privacy and autonomy but recognize that planning for the future is essential. It eliminates technical hurdles while upholding the core principle of self-custody.
“Once a transaction is pre-signed by you, no changes can be made, ensuring that your original intentions are preserved.”

🔒 Security That Doesn’t Sacrifice Privacy
BitInPeace operates under a strict non-custodial model:
- Private keys are never accessed or stored.
- No recovery phrases, wallet passwords, or private metadata are collected.
- Only your email address is required for activity reminders and system alerts.
Sensitive data—like the pre-signed transaction—is encrypted both at the application and disk levels using a two-layer system. The company has also secured two years of cloud infrastructure credits to ensure stable service, and is actively working toward an external audits and open-source roadmap to further strengthen transparency.
Planned improvements include decentralized data storage options and broader blockchain support—a reflection of BitInPeace’s commitment to user empowerment, not asset control.
🧾 Real-World Use Cases
BitInPeace serves a broad spectrum of crypto users:
- Self-custody holders who want to protect their assets for their families
- Long-term investors who view inheritance as part of a responsible crypto strategy
- Estate planners seeking an alternative to traditional legal wills or custodial services
It can also serve as a backup mechanism in case access to your primary wallet is lost. As long as your signed transaction is in place, the transfer can still occur when needed—no seed phrase recovery required.
Looking Ahead
As the crypto ecosystem matures, the importance of inheritance planning grows in parallel. But solutions must reflect the values of the community: privacy, control, decentralization.
BitInPeace stands apart not by doing more, but by doing less:
- It doesn’t hold your funds.
- It doesn’t require your secrets.
- It doesn’t require software installation.
- It doesn’t introduce unnecessary steps.
Instead, it gives you tools to define your intent—clearly, securely, and verifiably—and ensures that intent is honored if you’re no longer able to act.
“Users retain full ownership of their assets in their existing wallets, maintaining uninterrupted control at all times.”
