Somnia estate protocol
A will that opens only when the record says so.
Last Wish writes an inheritance into a single Somnia contract: the heir, the evidence, the threshold. Funds release only after a paid obituary verification moves the record — no operator, no override.
The old way
Inheritance gets stuck in ambiguity, not paperwork.
Traditional handoffs depend on off-chain guesswork and whoever happens to be in the room. Last Wish puts the conditions on chain — your heir's address, your evidence source, your threshold — and enforces them without anyone's approval.
Without Last Wish
- Funds and evidence live in different places with no shared state.
- Someone has to decide when the conditions are met — and that call can be challenged.
- There is no public record of what happens next or who can act.
With Last Wish
- Your heir, evidence source, and release threshold are locked on chain at deployment.
- A single deposit triggers independent verification through Somnia Agents.
- Release only happens when the record says so — publicly, automatically, without anyone's approval.
How it works
Four steps. No one's permission required.
Deploy your record on Somnia Shannon, fund the escrow, and post a verification deposit when the time comes. The contract decides what happens next — not an intermediary.

Your records, your rules, enforced on chain.
Everything on chain
One address. Every fact about your estate.
Your heir, evidence source, verification question, escrow balance, and verdict — all readable from a single contract address. Nothing hidden, nothing off-chain.
Strict access
Only the right person can act — at the right time.
Funding is open while the record is active. Claiming is reserved for your heir after the verdict confirms. Resetting is yours alone if the verdict fails.
Clean navigation
Every action has its own screen.
Create a record, load an existing one, fund the escrow, or review recent activity — each on a focused page with no dead ends.
Ready when you are
Write the terms once. The contract does the rest.
Deploy your estate record, name your heir, and walk away. Funds release only when the evidence changes the record — no intermediary, no override, no ambiguity.
