<p>The same pattern turns an inheritance into something gentler. Instead of a single delivery on a single day, a will can be split into instalments: a part every year, for as long as you choose. For an heir who has never handled bitcoin, receiving it gradually is often safer than receiving it all at once.</p>
<p>We want to be precise about the status of this. <strong>The protocol already allows it; the interfaces that make it simple are being built, and are not public yet.</strong> We mention it here because it shows what the protocol is, not to announce a product.</p>
<h2>More doors are opening</h2>
<p>The Electrum plugin was the first interface. <a href="https://bitcoin-after.life/docs/">BAL Easy Heirs</a> was the second, built for the person on the receiving end. Other wallets and services are now being built on the same protocol, by us and, we hope, by others, because the protocol is open and nobody needs our permission to use it.</p>
<p>The Electrum plugin was the first interface, and it is listed among the <a href="https://plugins.electrum.org/plugins.html">external plugins on the Electrum Wallet plugins page</a>. <a href="https://github.com/ManX-SAFE21/BALeasyHeirs">BAL Easy Heirs</a> was the second: an app built not by us but by independent developers who believe in the BAL protocol, for the person on the receiving end. Other wallets and services are now being developed on the same protocol, again by others who have already started writing apps for it, because the protocol is open and nobody needs our permission to use it.</p>
<p>Every one of those doors leads to the same room. Whatever interface signs the transaction, it is the same kind of transaction, held by the same Will-Executors, broadcast by the same rule. A server that joined the network to serve inheritances will serve recurring payments, instalments, and whatever comes next, without changing a line.</p>
<h2>Why running a Will-Executor is a bet on the whole protocol</h2>
<p>Today a Will-Executor broadcasts inheritance transactions. By their nature those are rare: a will executes once, years after it was signed.</p>
