# What is Guard ?

Guard is a decentralized protocol to create your legacy. It's P2P, which means that you keep your fund and you don't have to lock it into a smart contract. You need wallet guardians and inheritors to create your legacy.

Your wallet guardians will certify your death or loss and your inheritors will receive the inheritance according to the percentage you gave them.&#x20;

When you create a legacy with Guard, you're protected against your wallet loss and in case of a decease, your legacy will be transferred to your inheritors.&#x20;

Our solution works also with social wallets which makes it compatible with beginners or people that don't want to be bothered with web3 wallets. it's also easier for them to set up.&#x20;

Here's a simple plan on how works the legacy part of Guard :&#x20;
