Bitkey推出比特幣自我託管繼承功能

比特幣越來越被視為一種多代資產，並且需要安全且用戶友好的解決方案來確保其遺產變得更加重要

Block, Inc.'s self-custody bitcoin wallet, Bitkey, has announced a new inheritance feature that will allow users to pass their bitcoin to loved ones without compromising self-custody. The feature will be launching widely in January 2025.

Block, Inc. 的自我託管比特幣錢包 Bitkey 宣布了一項新的繼承功能，該功能將允許用戶將比特幣傳遞給親人，而不會影響自我託管。此功能將於 2025 年 1 月廣泛推出。

According to a press release shared with Bitcoin Magazine on Friday, the new inheritance solution will enable users to invite a designated beneficiary through the Bitkey app. The beneficiary will accept the invitation to create an inheritance plan. Notably, beneficiaries cannot access the benefactor's wallet and are not informed of the bitcoin amount they stand to inherit.

根據週五與《比特幣雜誌》分享的新聞稿，新的繼承解決方案將使用戶能夠透過 Bitkey 應用程式邀請指定受益人。受益人將接受創建繼承計劃的邀請。值得注意的是，受益人無法存取捐贈人的錢包，也不會被告知他們將繼承的比特幣金額。

If a beneficiary initiates a claim, the benefactor will receive regular notifications throughout a six-month waiting period, allowing them to cancel fraudulent or accidental claims and ensuring their funds remain secure.

如果受益人提出索賠，受益人將在六個月的等待期內定期收到通知，使他們能夠取消詐欺或意外索賠並確保其資金安全。

“Bitcoin is a multi-generational asset, and we think Bitkey should be multi-generational, too,” said Jason Karsh, business lead for Bitkey, in the press release. “With this inheritance solution, we offer customers a safe and simple way to pass their assets onto the next generation.”

Bitkey 業務主管 Jason Karsh 在新聞稿中表示：“比特幣是一種多代資產，我們認為 Bitkey 也應該是多代資產。” “透過這個繼承解決方案，我們為客戶提供了一種安全、簡單的方式將他們的資產傳遞給下一代。”

Bitkey was initially built around the principle of simplicity, aiming to address the challenges posed by traditional seed phrase models. The platform employs a multi-signature architecture, where custody is split among three keys: one stored in a hardware wallet, one in the Bitkey mobile app and one on Block's server. Recovery of funds requires just two of these three keys, ensuring that users retain control even if Block were to go out of business.

Bitkey 最初是圍繞著簡單性原則構建的，旨在解決傳統助記詞模型帶來的挑戰。該平台採用多重簽名架構，其中保管權分為三把鑰匙：一把儲存在硬體錢包中，一把儲存在 Bitkey 行動應用程式中，一把儲存在 Block 的伺服器上。要收回資金只需要這三個密鑰中的兩個，確保即使 Block 倒閉，用戶也能保留控制權。

This multi-sig architecture extends to the inheritance feature as well, ensuring security and peace of mind for Bitkey users.

這種多重簽章架構也擴展到繼承功能，確保 Bitkey 用戶的安全與安心。

“It’s all about making bitcoin easy to understand, use and recover,” Karsh added in the press release. “We've thought deeply about the frictions people face, especially when moving their bitcoin off exchanges, and we're addressing them head-on.”

「這一切都是為了讓比特幣易於理解、使用和恢復，」卡什在新聞稿中補充道。 “我們深入思考了人們面臨的摩擦，特別是當他們將比特幣移出交易所時，我們正在正面解決這些問題。”

This new feature also enables customers to set a beneficiary for their bitcoin holdings, offering a level of planning rare in the self-custody space.

這項新功能還使客戶能夠為其持有的比特幣設定受益人，從而提供自我託管領域罕見的規劃水平。

“Being able to tell someone you trust that they will inherit your bitcoin — without giving up your self-sovereignty — is a game-changer,” Karsh said.

卡什說：“能夠告訴你信任的人他們將繼承你的比特幣——而不放棄你的自我主權——是一個遊戲規則的改變者。”

In addition to Bitkey, several other self-custody solutions cater to the diverse needs of bitcoin users. Hardware wallets like Trezor and Ledger have long been mainstays in the self-custody space, offering offline storage to protect private keys from online threats. Trezor, for instance, also offers a bitcoin-only version for users who prefer dedicated support for bitcoin alone. Bitkey, however, is exclusively focused on bitcoin, ensuring a streamlined and purpose-built experience for bitcoin holders.

除了 Bitkey 之外，還有其他幾種自助託管解決方案可以滿足比特幣用戶的多樣化需求。 Trezor 和 Ledger 等硬體錢包長期以來一直是自我託管領域的中流砥柱，提供離線儲存以保護私鑰免受線上威脅。例如，Trezor 也為喜歡單獨支援比特幣的用戶提供純比特幣版本。然而，Bitkey 專注於比特幣，確保為比特幣持有者提供精簡且專門打造的體驗。

Software wallets such as Electrum provide lightweight, open-source options that allow users to maintain control over their private keys without relying on third parties. These solutions demonstrate the importance of personal responsibility in managing digital assets, aligning with the core principles of decentralization and security.

Electrum 等軟體錢包提供輕量級開源選項，讓使用者在不依賴第三方的情況下保持對其私鑰的控制。這些解決方案展示了個人責任在管理數位資產方面的重要性，符合去中心化和安全的核心原則。
