The project stands out for its unusual concept: the company offers as a product a service that will be available in tens or even hundreds of years.

The smart contract guarantees that the funds from the trust account will be debited only upon the occurrence of the conditions specified by the client.

Complex interest allows you to accumulate a large amount even with a minimum investment, but it takes many years. For example, $400 thousand for 100 years will turn into more than $347 million.
