比特币继承：安全、轻松地传承您的比特币

继承允许您指定 Bitkey 的受益人，以确保您的比特币在未来几年内得到良好的管理。

Bitkey, a hardware wallet designed to simplify bitcoin self-custody, has announced the upcoming launch of Inheritance, a new feature that will allow users to designate a beneficiary for their bitcoin. This feature is set to be rolled out in December and will become available to all Bitkey customers by January 2025.

Bitkey是一个旨在简化比特币自我托管的硬件钱包，它宣布即将推出继承功能，这是一项新功能，允许用户为其比特币指定受益人。该功能将于 12 月推出，并将于 2025 年 1 月向所有 Bitkey 客户开放。

With Inheritance, users can ensure that their bitcoin will be passed on to a trusted individual, even after their passing. This capability is especially crucial for bitcoin holders who wish to safeguard their digital assets for future generations.

通过继承，用户可以确保他们的比特币将被传递给值得信赖的个人，即使在他们去世后也是如此。对于希望为子孙后代保护其数字资产的比特币持有者来说，这种功能尤其重要。

To set up Inheritance, users can simply designate a beneficiary within the Bitkey app. This beneficiary can be easily updated or removed as needed. Notably, beneficiaries will not have access to information regarding the bitcoin balance in the benefactor's Bitkey.

要设置继承，用户只需在 Bitkey 应用程序中指定受益人即可。该受益人可以根据需要轻松更新或删除。值得注意的是，受益人将无法访问有关受益人 Bitkey 中比特币余额的信息。

Once a beneficiary initiates an inheritance claim, a six-month waiting period will commence. This measure is in place to prevent accidental or fraudulent claims. During this period, Bitkey will send regular alerts and notifications to the wallet owner, informing them of the claim. The wallet owner has the authority to cancel the claim at any time, thus retaining complete control over their funds.

一旦受益人提出继承要求，六个月的等待期将开始。采取这一措施是为了防止意外或欺诈性索赔。在此期间，Bitkey将定期向钱包所有者发送警报和通知，告知他们索赔情况。钱包所有者有权随时取消索赔，从而保留对其资金的完全控制。

Upon completion of the waiting period, the beneficiary will be notified that the funds are available for transfer to their Bitkey wallet, completing the inheritance process.

等待期结束后，受益人将收到通知，资金可转入其 Bitkey 钱包，从而完成继承过程。

Bitkey 客户继承的好处：

Self-custodial bitcoin holding provides users with unmatched control over their funds, ensuring that no third party can access or handle them. While this offers an extra layer of protection, it also comes with the responsibility of having a plan in place for the future. Without such a plan, funds may become inaccessible after the owner's passing. Inheritance solves this issue, providing peace of mind knowing that an investment will continue to be cared for by a designated loved one.

自我托管的比特币持有为用户提供了对其资金无与伦比的控制权，确保没有第三方可以访问或处理它们。虽然这提供了额外的保护层，但它也带来了为未来制定计划的责任。如果没有这样的计划，业主去世后可能无法获得资金。继承解决了这个问题，让您高枕无忧，因为您知道一项投资将继续由指定的亲人保管。

Bitkey is renowned for its user-friendly design, eliminating the need for memorizing lengthy seed phrases or spending hours setting up a wallet. Inheritance seamlessly extends this experience to beneficiaries, ensuring they can easily access, protect, and manage their inheritance without the hassle of complicated legal documents.

Bitkey 以其用户友好的设计而闻名，无需记住冗长的助记词或花费数小时设置钱包。继承将这种体验无缝地扩展到受益人，确保他们可以轻松访问、保护和管理他们的遗产，而无需复杂的法律文件的麻烦。

Throughout the inheritance process, Bitkey maintains the utmost privacy and control for its customers. Beneficiaries are unable to view or access the benefactor's Bitkey wallet. Moreover, wallet owners retain complete control, including the ability to change their beneficiary at any time. The six-month waiting period for claims serves as an additional safeguard against accidental or fraudulent claims. Notably, no personal information is ever required in this procedure.

在整个继承过程中，Bitkey 为其客户保持最大的隐私和控制权。受益人无法查看或访问受益人的 Bitkey 钱包。此外，钱包所有者保留完全的控制权，包括随时更改受益人的能力。六个月的索赔等待期可以作为防止意外或欺诈性索赔的额外保障。值得注意的是，此过程中不需要任何个人信息。

Looking ahead, Bitkey plans to expand the Inheritance feature to include support for multiple beneficiaries and transfers to external wallets. The team remains committed to fulfilling Bitkey's core promise of making bitcoin self-custody both easy to use and difficult to lose.

展望未来，Bitkey 计划扩展继承功能，包括支持多个受益人以及向外部钱包转账。该团队仍然致力于履行 Bitkey 的核心承诺，即让比特币自我托管既易于使用又不易丢失。
