Continuity
as infrastructure.

01 / Thesis

The problem is not payment. It is continuity.

Cryonics organizations may need to administer maintenance, research and beneficiary reserves across unusually long periods. Conventional accounts obscure policy changes, concentrate operational trust and make eventual return difficult to audit.

KEHF proposes a transparent coordination layer on Stellar. It preserves a record of intent and authority without placing private medical data on-chain or pretending that software can determine revival.

02 / Model

03 / Prototype

Small enough to build. Clear enough to evaluate.

• Testnet account architecture for three logically separated reserves.
• Policy-bound maintenance payment demonstrator using Stellar transaction controls.
• Hash anchoring for service evidence and selected environmental telemetry; source data remains off-chain.
• Public dashboard showing balances, payment history, policy state and signer thresholds.
• Multisig beneficiary-return simulation with a newly controlled destination account.
• Threat model, governance specification and implementation documentation.

Explicit exclusions

No mainnet custody, medical records, medical outcome claims, autonomous “revival oracle,” legal trust replacement or investment product.

04 / Return

The person returns before the funds do.

1. Submit evidence. Authorized parties submit attestations and document hashes.
2. Verify conditions. Independent signers review identity, legal authority and protocol conditions.
3. Establish control. The beneficiary proves control of a fresh Stellar destination account and provides explicit consent.
4. Authorize release. Required thresholds sign the return transaction; the public record makes the decision auditable.
5. Preserve recourse. Disputes pause release. No single institution or automated sensor can complete the transfer.

05 / Why Stellar

A credible home for long-horizon public infrastructure.

Stellar combines low-cost settlement, global asset representation, account-level signer thresholds and a public ledger. KEHF uses those primitives for a new narrative: not faster movement alone, but durable, inspectable intent.

The prototype is designed to be useful beyond cryonics. The same continuity pattern can inform endowments, conservation funds, long-term research commitments and intergenerational trusts.
