In Russia, a blockchain-based service will be developed to transfer digital information by inheritance. The creators say that with its help one will be able to store \u201cdigital data and assets \u2014 from social media passwords to Bitcoin-wallet keys.\u201d<\/p>\n
Representatives of the National Technology Initiative (NTI) said that users will be able to place digital information through the service with the possibility of transferring it to designated recipients after at least six months.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cThe number of digital assets is increasing \u2014 this includes crypto wallets, social media pages, and channels in messaging apps. Therefore the question arises: how to preserve digital information and pass it to heirs, for instance, in 50 years?\u201d ForkLog told NTI.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
The data will be stored in encrypted form on SberCloud and duplicated on DropBox and other platforms.<\/p>\n
In the so-called \u201ctime capsule\u201d you can place not only passwords, but also media files, texts, or coordinates of the location of valuable items. Registered users will be able to access it via a link.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cThe main task is to ensure security and prevent data leaks. We will use encryption technologies, artificial intelligence, and also blockchain, which is currently used mainly for selling digital assets, and we want to attract it to their preservation,\u201d said project head Dmitry Izvekov.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
The plan is to attract 2\u20133 million rubles for the creation of the service. Among the developers are MGIMO, Lomonosov Moscow State University and MEPhI.<\/p>\n
ForkLog sought comment from NTI, but at the time of writing had not received a response.<\/p>\n
Earlier, in June, Pavel Krasheninnikov, head of the State Duma committee on state construction and legislation, spoke about the possible inclusion of cryptocurrencies in the Civil Code of the Russian Federation<\/a>. He said that codifying cryptocurrencies in the Civil Code would help regulate inheritance issues, \u201cin cases of divorce, bankruptcy, and so on\u201d.<\/p>\n
