Establish the right.
Define the beneficiary, permitted uses, responsible roles and fallback instructions before preservation.
The Continuity Protocol
Preserve the possibility of tomorrow.
Protect the resources to live it.
Cryonics asks us to think beyond a lifetime. Its financial infrastructure should be able to think that far, too.
Care must continue. Decisions must remain accountable. And resources set aside for a person should have a clear path back to them, if revival becomes possible.
KEHF is the Continuity Protocol that connects those responsibilities.
Three purposes. One continuous story.Three distinct reserves.
Clear rules for every release.

Scheduled payments for preservation and maintenance, linked to approved service records. A clear account of what was paid, why, and who approved it.
Verified service record + authorized approval
Care providers, fund managers and patient representatives.
A proposed financial protocol. The continuity archive is a visual metaphor for three protected reserves and one verifiable history.
If revival becomes possible
A person should not need to remember a century-old private key to access funds reserved for them.
Define the beneficiary, permitted uses, responsible roles and fallback instructions before preservation.
Medical evidence and legal entitlement are reviewed by the designated authorities. A biometric match alone is not enough.
Bind an approved new wallet to the verified beneficiary, with independent checks and a period for objections.
Distribute the personal reserve according to its governing terms, in stages or in full. Care payments remain separately accounted for.
Identity can be re-established.
Access can be renewed.
This is a future-facing design, not a promise of revival or a guarantee of legal recognition. Real distributions would depend on applicable law, governing documents and verified authority.
Designed for the Stellar network
Soroban contracts can enforce release conditions, spending limits and required approvals.
Connect service attestations, decisions and payments in a history that independent parties can verify.
Start with recurring cryonics care payments. Develop reusable building blocks for long-term stewardship.
A focused grant proposal: one prospective care partner, one payment flow, and a demonstrable path back to beneficiary access.
CARE AUTHORIZATION
Care payments governed by defined roles, approved evidence and spending limits. Exceptions remain visible and accountable.
VERIFIABLE RECORDS
Connect service records, approvals and payments so providers, fund managers and patient representatives can verify the same history.
BENEFICIARY ACCESS
A governed process for verifying entitlement, approving a new wallet and distributing the personal reserve under its governing terms.
No. KEHF is a proposed software and payment infrastructure layer for cryonics organizations, fund managers and patient representatives. Preservation and medical decisions remain with qualified providers.
Revival trust structures have been described by specialist advisers. KEHF proposes a digital authorization and payment layer that could integrate with an appropriate legal structure. It does not create legal entitlement by itself. Read the Becker & House overview ↗
A signed record and its on-chain hash can help reveal later alteration. They do not prove that a sensor was accurate or that care was adequate. Calibration, independent review and visible data gaps remain necessary. Sensitive raw data stays off-chain.
No network, asset or key should be assumed permanent. KEHF's proposed design includes governed key rotation, successor administrators, maintained contract storage, independent archives and a migration policy. Long-term assets need qualified stewardship beyond an on-chain payment balance.
Governing documents must name successor roles and define dispute handling. A disputed personal distribution can be held for review while essential care follows its separate emergency policy. A missing sensor reading should never automatically cut off essential care funding.
KEHF MEANS CAVE. A PLACE OF SHELTER.
