论文摘要
继承是文明的基本基础。随着时间的流逝，这是创造我们所生活的社会的财富，知识和财产的增加。每一代人都不必从零开始，并且可以利用前几代人的努力。基于区块链的资产非常有效，可以安全地在生物实体之间转移。然而，很少讨论使继承人继承加密资源的实际方法。看来与加密资产继承有关的问题引发了许多技术，社会和法律问题。这些问题的一部分必须在区块链基础设施本身的水平上解决。本文的目的是在这个被忽视的问题方面开设一个研究领域，并讨论一些想法。继承既不是外围问题，也不是一个可以躲避的问题。如果要认真对待基于区块链的财务以及资产管理，它必须带来自己的一系列挑战。
Inheritance is the fundamental building block of civilization. This is the addition of wealth, knowledge and properties over time that produce the society in which we are living. Every generation does not have to start from zero and can capitalize on the efforts of previous generations. Blockchain based assets are very efficiently and securely transferred between living entities. Yet the actual way to make heirs inherit crypto-assets is seldom discussed. It appears that the problems linked with the inheritance of crypto-assets raise a lot of technical, societal and legal issues. Part of those issues have to be tackled with at the level of the blockchain infrastructure itself. The aim of this paper is to open a research field, and to discuss some ideas, with regards to this overlooked issue. Inheritance is neither a peripheral question nor one that can be dodged. It comes with its own set of challenges that have to be met if blockchain based finance, and asset management, is to be taken seriously.
