Check-ins - Archive Circle

Check-ins tell Eternum that you are active. If you miss check-ins, the death verification pipeline escalates in stages.

Check-in intervals by plan

Plan	Check-in interval
Seed	30 days
Legacy	7 days
Estate	3 days

Escalation stages

Level	What happens
L0	You receive a check-in reminder.
L1	Trusted contacts receive a welfare-check prompt.
L2	Trusted contacts can access verification tools.
L3	Signal threshold can move the case toward challenge.
L4	A challenge window opens before verified recovery.
Verified	Recovery shares can be released to beneficiaries.

A successful check-in cancels an active pending verification pipeline and returns the account to active status.

Medical holds

Medical holds pause normal escalation temporarily. They are intended for known events such as hospitalization or travel where check-ins may be missed.
