Blockchain obituaries explained

Traditional obituaries are all disconnected and you would normally have to search several sources like social media or local newspapers to read about them. This has not changed for decades.

The solution to this was the creation of our blockchain obituaries and memorial network. We are the world's first and only blockchain obituary service provider.

A blockchain obituary is a digital record of an individual's death that is stored on the blockchain, which is a decentralized database that maintains a growing list of records, called blocks. Each block contains a timestamp and links to previous blocks, forming a chain. Blockchain technology can ensure that these records are tamper-proof and immutable. This means that once an individual's death has been recorded on the blockchain, it cannot be altered or deleted.

Why blockchain?

Blockchain is a record-keeping technology designed to make it impossible to hack the system or forge the data stored on it, thereby making it secure and immutable. It is a type of distributed ledger technology (DLT), a digital system for recording transactions and related data in multiple places at the same time.

Blockchain is a type of shared database that differs from a typical database in the way that it stores information in groups, known as blocks. Blockchains store data in blocks that hold sets of information linked together via cryptography.

Decentralized blockchains are immutable, which means that the data entered is irreversible.

A blockchain domain can store website content that is not controlled by any central provider and can only be updated by signing into a crypto address/ wallet. Since NFT domains are not part of the current DNS, major search engines do not currently index NFT domain websites. But this can change very soon as web 3.0 capabilities continues to develop and grow.

Please note that blockchain domains can vary in costs, the big difference is that blockchain domains are yours to keep forever and there is no renewal.

Privacy matters

The domain is stored in a user's cryptocurrency wallet and can be transferred after minting on the blockchain. Since domains are tracked by wallets, sharing ‘whois’ information is opt in only. Otherwise, user identities will not be publicly known.
