Autonomys is pleased to share that Crypto Inheritance Protocol (CIP), a multi-chain, privacy-first inheritance infrastructure for digital assets, has integrated Auto Drive, Autonomys’ permanent on-chain storage product, gaining direct access to the Autonomys Distributed Storage Network (DSN) for permanent, tamper-proof storage of inheritance records.
CIP integrates Auto Drive at two specific points in the execution lifecycle.
Health Oracle Execution:
When an executor initiates a health oracle check, uploading an image or PDF as proof of a principal’s condition, that document is written permanently to Auto Drive. It becomes the immutable trigger record: timestamped, tamper-proof, and independently verifiable by any party. No server dependency, no document loss, no dispute over what was submitted.
Beneficiary Dispute Filing:
When a beneficiary raises a dispute and uploads supporting documents, those files move to Auto Drive immediately. This creates a permanent, censorship-resistant evidence trail that exists outside of CIP’s infrastructure, meaning the dispute record survives regardless of what happens to the protocol itself.
In both cases, Auto Drive is not a backup layer. It is the permanent receipt that makes CIP’s execution guarantees credible.
Inheritance execution does not operate in real time. It operates across years, sometimes decades. When a critical action finally fires, the documents that triggered it must still exist, unaltered, exactly as they were submitted. That is the core requirement Auto Drive solves.
Auto Drive is built on the Autonomys DSN, where data is erasure-coded and replicated across a globally distributed network of independent storage operators. Data stored through Auto Drive inherits the permanence and tamper-resistance guarantees of the Autonomys Network itself. The network’s architecture removes any single point of control: data is distributed across independent operators globally, with no entity in a position to alter, delete, or restrict access to what has been stored.
For CIP, this means the documents its users submit today are designed to remain accessible and independently verifiable across the full span of time an inheritance plan may be active.
Autonomys is proud to support the CIP team and their work on what is genuinely one of the more thoughtful applications built on permanent storage infrastructure. The problem CIP is solving is real, consequential, and almost entirely unaddressed in the digital asset space. Building a protocol that must remain trustworthy across decades requires exactly the kind of architectural discipline the CIP team has brought to their stack, and we look forward to seeing what they build from here.

Crypto Inheritance Protocol (CIP) is a multi-chain, privacy-first inheritance infrastructure for digital assets. CIP enables individuals and institutions to define programmable inheritance plans specifying beneficiaries, unlock conditions, and execution logic that executes automatically, without intermediaries, regardless of payment status or executor availability.
CIP is built on three core infrastructure layers: iExec powers decentralized task execution and stores sensitive plan parameters as ProtectedData objects on Arbitrum; Secret Network provides confidential smart contract logic ensuring beneficiary data and unlock conditions remain encrypted end-to-end; and Secret AI handles on-chain documentation verification, enabling CIP to authenticate supporting documents, identity proofs, legal instruments, death certificates, without exposing their contents to any third party.
Autonomys is a Layer 1 blockchain built for permanent, verifiable data storage. Its Distributed Storage Network is secured by a global network of independent storage operators who collectively provide over 50 petabytes of SSD capacity. Data stored on the network is cryptographically verified, replicated for redundancy, and permanently available without relying on any single company or server. Developers integrate through Auto Drive, the network’s user-friendly storage gateway, which offers an S3-compatible API, a TypeScript SDK, and a free tier for getting started.
