Bitkey推出比特币自我托管继承功能

比特币越来越被视为一种多代资产，并且需要安全且用户友好的解决方案来确保其遗产变得更加重要

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. 的自我托管比特币钱包 Bitkey 宣布了一项新的继承功能，该功能将允许用户将比特币传递给亲人，而不会影响自我托管。该功能将于 2025 年 1 月广泛推出。

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.

根据周五与《比特币杂志》分享的新闻稿，新的继承解决方案将使用户能够通过 Bitkey 应用程序邀请指定受益人。受益人将接受创建继承计划的邀请。值得注意的是，受益人无法访问捐赠人的钱包，也不会被告知他们将继承的比特币金额。

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.

如果受益人提出索赔，受益人将在六个月的等待期内定期收到通知，使他们能够取消欺诈或意外索赔并确保其资金安全。

“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 业务主管 Jason Karsh 在新闻稿中表示：“比特币是一种多代资产，我们认为 Bitkey 也应该是多代资产。” “通过这个继承解决方案，我们为客户提供了一种安全、简单的方式将他们的资产传给下一代。”

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 最初是围绕简单性原则构建的，旨在解决传统助记词模型带来的挑战。该平台采用多重签名架构，其中保管权分为三把钥匙：一把存储在硬件钱包中，一把存储在 Bitkey 移动应用程序中，一把存储在 Block 的服务器上。收回资金只需要这三个密钥中的两个，确保即使 Block 倒闭，用户也能保留控制权。

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

这种多重签名架构还扩展到继承功能，确保 Bitkey 用户的安全和安心。

“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.”

“这一切都是为了让比特币易于理解、使用和恢复，”卡什在新闻稿中补充道。 “我们深入思考了人们面临的摩擦，特别是当他们将比特币移出交易所时，我们正在正面解决这些问题。”

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.

这项新功能还使客户能够为其持有的比特币设置受益人，从而提供自我托管领域罕见的规划水平。

“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.

卡什说：“能够告诉你信任的人他们将继承你的比特币——而不放弃你的自我主权——是一个游戏规则的改变者。”

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，还有其他几种自助托管解决方案可以满足比特币用户的多样化需求。 Trezor 和 Ledger 等硬件钱包长期以来一直是自我托管领域的中流砥柱，提供离线存储以保护私钥免受在线威胁。例如，Trezor 还为那些喜欢单独支持比特币的用户提供纯比特币版本。然而，Bitkey 专注于比特币，确保为比特币持有者提供精简且专门打造的体验。

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 等软件钱包提供轻量级开源选项，允许用户在不依赖第三方的情况下保持对其私钥的控制。这些解决方案展示了个人责任在管理数字资产方面的重要性，符合去中心化和安全的核心原则。
