Baton for Cardano

Keep what matters protected. Pass it on when the time comes.

Set aside ADA, tokens, NFTs, or proof of an important file. They stay protected while you check in. If you miss the number of check-ins you chose, your handoff becomes available to the person or key you selected.

A SIMPLE EXAMPLE

Check in every 30 days. Allow 3 missed check-ins.

Your handoff becomes available after 90 days without a successful check-in.

Checked inToday
Missed check-in 1Day 30
Missed check-in 2Day 60
Handoff availableDay 90

Check in at any time before the final date and the full schedule starts over. Missing one date does not move or release anything by itself.

WHAT YOU CAN PROTECT

Made for the future you cannot personally manage.

Use one clear plan for assets, digital property, or evidence you want preserved.

Support your family

Set aside ADA or Cardano tokens for a wallet you trust.

Preserve digital property

Protect meaningful NFTs and define how they can be received later.

Protect your record

Place a permanent fingerprint of a statement or file on-chain so its authenticity can be checked later. The file itself stays private.

HOW IT WORKS

Choose. Check in. Hand off.

1

Choose what to protect

Select assets, a check-in schedule, and who or what can receive them later.

2

Check in from Eternl

Approve a small Cardano transaction at the schedule you chose. Your protected assets do not move.

3

Your instructions become available

Only after all allowed check-ins are missed can the handoff you selected be completed.

WHO CAN RECEIVE IT

You do not need a beneficiary list.

Choose the kind of handoff that fits your situation. Your choice cannot be secretly changed by this site.

A PERSON OR FAMILY WALLET

Send to one chosen address

Your assets can only go to the Cardano address you set, even if someone else starts the handoff transaction.

NO ADDRESS NAMED IN ADVANCE

Use a recovery token

Baton creates one unique recovery token for your plan. Give it to someone you trust; after the wait ends, its holder can choose where the assets go.

BEFORE YOU USE IT

A missed check-in is not proof of death.

If you forget, lose wallet access, travel, or become unable to check in, your handoff may become available while you are alive. Choose a generous schedule and involve the people you trust.
