At the same time, **Multiple Merge Authorities** enhance plan activation by enabling multiple beneficiaries to initiate the merging process, improving reliability and accessibility. This release also includes **various system improvements, security updates, and refinements** to enhance overall usability and performance. ## **New Features** ### **Free Protection Plans** For many users, **getting started with digital inheritance and secure data storage can feel overwhelming**. With **Free Plans**, anyone can now explore Inheriti® without financial commitment, making it easier to onboard and familiarize themselves with the platform.
#### **What free plans offer:** * **A simple, no-cost way to create a backup plan** and experience Inheriti® first-hand. * **Single shareholder setup**, ideal for personal use. * **SafeKey Mobile storage support** for convenience and security. * **Encrypt and protect** passwords, private keys, PIN codes or just plain text While Free Plans provide a strong foundation for digital security, they differ from Paid Plans in one key fundamental way: **the multilayer topology**. Unlike Paid Plans, where the **validator share is stored on a blockchain of choice**, Free Plans **store the validator share within Inheriti® Vault instead**. This keeps security intact while removing blockchain dependencies, allowing more users to interact with Inheriti® without complexity. By introducing Free Plans, we aim to **increase adoption, make onboarding easier, and ensure more people can experiment with digital inheritance solutions risk-free**. ### **Multiple Merge Authorities (MA)** Previously, the **merging process -**the crucial step in opening a protection plan and retrieving the secret data- was tied to **a single Merge Authority (MA)**. While this structure worked well, it also introduced **a potential bottleneck** -if the designated MA was unavailable, data retrieval could be delayed or even impossible. With this update, users can now **assign multiple Merge Authorities**, significantly increasing the **flexibility, security, and accessibility** of protection plans. #### **Why multiple merge authorities matter:** * **Increased Redundancy** – If one MA is unavailable, another can step in, ensuring that recovery is never dependent on a single individual. * **Enhanced Security** – Spreading responsibility across multiple trusted individuals prevents bottlenecks in the recovery process. * **Better Organizational Support** – This change sets the foundation for future **organization-focused protection plans**, allowing teams and businesses to securely manage their digital assets together. #### This feature is particularly useful for: * **Families** managing inheritance plans for multiple beneficiaries. * **Businesses** ensuring that critical company data remains accessible, even if key personnel are unavailable. * **Decentralized teams** that require shared access to encrypted data. By enabling **Multiple Merge Authorities**, Inheriti® strengthens its position as a **secure, flexible, and scalable** solution for both individual and organizational digital asset protection. ### **Data Asset Categories** We introduced **a structured categorization system for data assets**, making it easier to store and manage sensitive information. This change lays the foundation for **future expansion**, as we plan to support even more asset types over time. #### **New categories** To improve clarity and usability, all data assets are now grouped into **five main categories**: 1. **General Data** – Store plain text for notes or sensitive details. 2. **Online Accounts** – Secure **login credentials, PINs, and recovery codes**. 3. **Developer Keys & Secrets** – Protect **API keys and developer credentials**. 4. **Crypto Wallets** – Manage **private keys and seed phrases** securely. 5. **Payment Cards** – Store **credit and debit card information** safely.
#### **Preparing for future growth** This update **sets the stage for upcoming data asset expansions**, ensuring Inheriti® remains adaptable to evolving security needs. Over time, we will introduce **new categories and asset types**, providing even greater flexibility for managing and protecting digital information. ## **General Enhancements** Behind the scenes, Inheriti® continues to evolve its security and infrastructure to ensure **long-term reliability, efficiency, and resilience**. In this update, we have introduced **several backend improvements** that enhance **performance, data structuring, and processing power** across all protection plans. * **User experience refinements** – We have made adjustments to navigation, interface responsiveness, and interactions, ensuring that managing protection plans is more intuitive. * **System performance updates** – Various backend optimizations have been applied to improve platform speed, stability, and scalability, ensuring better reliability even under high usage. * **Security reinforcements** – We continue to refine internal security mechanisms, ensuring that Inheriti® remains protected against potential vulnerabilities while maintaining user privacy and control. * **Infrastructure enhancements** – Several system-wide optimizations have been implemented to improve server stability, request handling, and API efficiency, reducing latency and increasing overall performance. ## **Looking Ahead** With **Free Plans and Multiple Merge Authorities**, Inheriti® is now more **accessible, flexible, and robust** than ever. These updates make it easier for **new users to get started**, while also **strengthening security for experienced users and organizations**. Future updates, which we are already working on, will continue to refine and expand on these features, ensuring that **digital inheritance and backup plans evolve with the needs of users worldwide**.
