Frequently Asked Questions

T.O.M.B (Tokenized On-chain Memorials & Burials) is a digital memorial platform. It lets you create a permanent, private space to honor someone you love — with photos, videos, audio, and written memories — stored on the blockchain and encrypted so only invited visitors can view it.

Creating a memorial is a one-time $20 USD fee. You also pay the small Base network gas fee for the blockchain transaction. Optional tributes like candles or flowers are priced separately. There are no subscriptions or hidden platform fees.

Your memorial content is stored permanently on Arweave, and the memorial token lives on the Base blockchain. Even if the T.O.M.B website were unavailable, the on-chain record and Arweave data would remain. You can also export custody information so your family can always locate the token and content.

Memorials are private by default. Only the memorial custodian and wallet addresses they explicitly invite can view the content. The public token record shows that a memorial exists, but not its contents or visitors.

Because content is stored on Arweave and a token is minted on Base, complete deletion is not technically possible — that is what makes the memorial permanent. The custodian can remove visitor access, update content, or transfer custodianship to someone else.

Soulbound means the memorial token cannot be sold, traded, or transferred to a stranger. It can only be passed to a new custodian through the official custodianship transfer process, which carries a small fee.

Visitors can leave tributes such as prayers (free, 24 hours), roses, candles, bouquets, or an Eternal Flame. Each tribute has its own price and duration. Prayers are always free. Tributes help visitors express remembrance and support the memorial custodian.

A memorial custodian can transfer their role to a new wallet address at any time for a one-time $5 fee. This is useful for passing responsibility to a family member. The token remains soulbound and cannot be sold.

T.O.M.B works with any EVM-compatible wallet, including Coinbase Wallet, MetaMask, Rainbow, and WalletConnect-enabled wallets. Coinbase Smart Wallet is supported for easy onboarding without a separate browser extension.

Yes. Memorial content is encrypted using Lit Protocol and stored permanently on Arweave. Decryption is only possible for the custodian and invited visitors. T.O.M.B cannot read your private content.
