The future of crypto inheritance is biometric, not paper

What happens to your crypto if something happens to you?
It’s a question few people in Web3 can answer confidently. For Robert Mofrad, co-founder of Serenity, that question wasn’t theoretical—it was personal.

A conversation with his wife led him down a rabbit hole of inheritance, identity, and what happens to digital assets when their owners are no longer around. The result was Serenity’s flagship product: the S Box, a biometric-secured wallet designed for more than just cold storage.

But the S Box isn’t another Ledger alternative. It’s a patented, zero-trust system with fingerprint access and built-in inheritance protocols—designed to solve crypto’s succession problem without relying on written seed phrases or centralized servers.

“We’re not building another wallet. We’re building the survivability layer for Web3.” — Robert Mofrad

Biometric wallets meet real-world use cases

The S Box isn’t limited to crypto keys. It’s also being developed for enterprise logins, healthcare data, and identity authentication—in use cases where biometric trust can eliminate friction and risk. Imagine accessing your medical history anywhere in the world through your fingerprint, with no passwords or paperwork.

This ties into a concept Robert calls Decentralized Data Survivability (DDS). Unlike Google Cloud or AWS, Serenity’s on-chain system doesn’t rely on renewals, credit cards, or third-party permissions. Once your data is there, it stays there—secure, immutable, and accessible to authorized users only.

RWS: The new frontier

While much of the crypto world is focused on Real World Assets (RWA)—like tokenized real estate or securities—Robert proposes a more actionable approach: Real World Services (RWS).

RWS focuses on identity, compliance, and verifiable services delivered over blockchain rails. It’s about building the backend infrastructure for digital trust, not just digitizing existing assets. This shift could be more impactful, more scalable, and more immediately useful than the RWA hype cycle.

“We think Real World Services will matter more than Real World Assets—because they solve real-world problems people face today.” — Robert Mofrad

Serenity’s roadmap

Serenity isn’t just ideating—they’re executing.

  • A tech hub in India is being launched to accelerate development.
  • Partnerships with IDEMIA are enabling biometric hardware integration.
  • The team is already planning for post-quantum cryptography, future-proofing their infrastructure against evolving threats.

A new standard for Web3 survivability

Robert’s vision is clear: Serenity wants to become the biometric and survivability layer of Web3. In a space obsessed with decentralization, speed, and speculation, Serenity is quietly building the kind of infrastructure layer that makes long-term adoption viable.

If Web3 is truly about ownership, then preserving that ownership across generations and devices is non-negotiable.
