Holdii Glossary

Understand key terms and concepts behind programmable asset vaults and digital wealth logic.

A

  • Attestor Key

    A designated signer who can confirm conditions — like a witness, but in wallet form.

  • Auto-Burn Fallback

    A failsafe where assets are burned if never claimed or triggered — ultimate sovereignty with responsibility.

C

  • Consentless Transfer

    The act of triggering an asset release without requiring recipient approval — predefined and programmable by the sender.

  • Custodyless Transfer

    A method of moving assets without ever giving up full control. A self-sovereign upgrade to delegated trust.

  • Conditional Yield

    Yield that only accrues or unlocks based on user-defined logic — like age, activity, or timeline.

  • Cross-Chain Inheritance Layer

    A programmable layer that ensures vault logic can execute across chains. Future-proofed for multichain digital wealth.

  • Crypto Succession Map

    A visual overview of vault recipients, timelines, and triggers. Inspired by legal charts, rebuilt for self-custody.

  • Companion Vault

    A parallel vault created for a partner, sibling, or friend — triggered independently but linked in purpose.

D

  • Digital Kinship

    The intentional design of crypto-based support systems between family, friends, or causes. It’s not a legal heirship — it’s programmable care.

  • Digital Legacy Layer

    The programmable infrastructure that lives on-chain, enabling your assets and intentions to outlast you without institutional reliance.

  • Digital Executor

    A smart contract that enforces vault instructions — like a self-enforcing agent without legal entanglement.

  • DAO Vault Delegation

    Allowing DAOs to control vault release or trigger governance-based unlocks. Extends programmable wealth to organizations.

  • Digital Family Office

    A decentralized version of a family office — logic-based wealth handling without suits or fees.

E

  • Escrowless Release

    Direct release of assets without third-party holding. Full trust in code, not intermediaries.

G

  • Guardian Rotation

    The logic that rotates or updates key holders over time. Keeps protection fresh without central admin.

H

  • Heirless Routing

    A fallback logic for when no recipient is available — rerouting to cause wallets or burn. Respects intention over default law.

L

  • Legacy Transfer

    A future-scheduled crypto transfer to chosen recipients, set by your rules. Designed for personal wealth passing — not a legal inheritance service.

  • Logic Chain

    A sequenced set of conditions that determines how and when vaults activate. Inspired by legal clauses, rebuilt as digital logic blocks.

M

  • Milestone Release

    A step-based unlocking model where assets release progressively as life events or milestones are achieved. More flexible than traditional "one-time inheritance."

  • Multi-Layer Triggers

    Combining time, events, and approvals as compound conditions for asset release. Think “stackable logic,” not complex legalese.

O

  • Onchain Autonomy

    Complete control of digital assets and outcomes through code. Think of it as independence made programmable — no signatures, just signal.

P

  • Programmable Vault

    A smart contract-powered vault with customizable release logic. Think of it like “future unlock automation,” not a legal trust.

  • Programmable Kin

    Assigning your support network through wallet addresses — chosen families and communities defined in code, not law.

  • Proof of Intention

    Verifying asset movement through preset intent, not live action. A trustless expression of your future will.

  • Proof-of-Life Check

    A periodic verification signal that confirms activity. Absence of signal can be used as a trigger.

R

  • Recipient

    The wallet or person you’ve assigned to receive the vault contents. Not a legal trust, just a digital recipient.

S

  • Self-Custody

    A way to retain full control of your crypto — private keys, access, and intent — without banks or custodians. Inspired by the principle of sovereignty, evolved for programmable wealth.

  • Silent Vault

    A vault that stays dormant until triggered, revealing contents only at the right time. Like a blackout box for your values.

  • Sleep Mode Vault

    A vault designed to remain untouched until specific inactivity or signals wake it. Optimized for long-term peace of mind.

  • Signal-Based Unlock

    A trigger model that responds to chain or oracle signals to allow release. Think “webhook for wealth.”

  • Stealth Vault Mode

    A vault that hides its existence or contents until triggered. Designed for ultimate privacy.

T

  • Time-locked Sovereignty

    Setting future-proof ownership rules on your wealth — by age, date, or moment. You stay in charge, even when offline, gone, or ghosted.

  • Trigger Stack

    A layered set of logic checks that control release — like multi-factor rules for your wealth. Evolved from multi-signature governance.

V

  • Vault Letter

    A private encrypted message stored in the vault, viewable only by the intended recipient at the right time. Not a legal will, just a secure, time-locked message.

  • Vault Plan

    A digital layout of who receives what and under what conditions. Structured visually like an “asset map,” not an estate plan.

  • Vault Trigger

    A pre-set event that activates a release. Could be a specific date, oracle event, or manual attestation.

  • Vault Logic

    The automated conditions you define for release — such as age, activity, wallet interaction, or milestone achievements. No lawyers, no approvals — just rules you configure.

  • Vault Stack

    Your combination of logic, tokens, recipients, and triggers — like a financial stack for future-proof asset routing. Inspired by estate planning, without the paperwork.

W

  • Wealth Router

    A smart contract system that automatically directs assets to intended parties based on logic — no legal administrator required.
