Manage Authorized Watchers

Read-only accounts you authorize to view a legacy without being able to edit, delete, or alter it. Premium only.

An authorized watcher is a read-only spectator on a legacy. They see it under My Watchlist in their 10102 dashboard; they can never edit, delete, activate, or otherwise affect it.

Watchers are a first-class way to coordinate with people who need visibility but shouldn't have control β€” estate lawyers, family members, advisors, compliance officers.

Configuring

Go to Settings β†’ Authorized Watchers and select a legacy to manage watchers for.

For each watcher you add:

  • Their Ethereum address (EOA).

  • A display name (private label for your own reference).

  • A visibility level β€” see below.

You can add, remove, or change a watcher's visibility at any time.

Visibility levels

Limited visibility (default, privacy-preserving)

With limited visibility:

  • Owner wallet address: hidden. Replaced by a unique private identifier tied to the owner's 10102 account.

  • Safe co-signer addresses (Multisig legacies): hidden.

  • Beneficiary addresses: hidden. Names (owner-entered labels) are shown.

  • Watchers cannot locate the legacy on-chain from what the app shows them β€” the identifier is 10102-internal, not an Ethereum address.

Use when: you want oversight without exposing the on-chain footprint. Typical for a general-purpose family watcher.

Full visibility

With full visibility:

  • All addresses are shown: owner, Safe co-signers (Multisig), beneficiaries.

  • Watchers can look up the legacy contract on Etherscan and see the on-chain activity directly.

  • Allocations, activation triggers, and asset lists are fully visible.

Use when: the watcher genuinely needs the addresses β€” typically an estate lawyer coordinating with off-chain documents, or a professional recovery service who needs to be able to act on-chain later.

How watchers see the legacy

Watchers get a My Watchlist section in their dashboard. Each entry shows:

  • The legacy's status (Needs finalizing, Live, Activated).

  • Activity trigger and its remaining window.

  • Asset allocations per beneficiary (at whatever visibility level they're granted).

  • Any notes the owner has configured.

Watchers cannot act. No edit. No delete. No activation. They can only read.

Contingent beneficiaries are automatically watchers

Second-line and third-line contingent beneficiaries are, by default, added as watchers with limited visibility. The owner can change their visibility at any time (e.g. upgrade an estate-lawyer contingent to full visibility).

  • Contingents can't be removed from the watcher list directly β€” they're removed by editing the legacy itself (removing them from the contingent configuration).

  • When their line activates, they move from My Watchlist to Legacies for Me with full-visibility beneficiary access.

Real-world use cases

  • Consolidated oversight across wallets. You manage several EOAs and Safes; watchers let a single dashboard see all of them without any one wallet having access to the others.

  • Estate coordination. A lawyer references the plan from off-chain documents. Limited visibility preserves the owner's privacy while the unique identifier lets documents unambiguously point to a specific plan.

  • Family peace-of-mind. A spouse or adult child has visibility without control β€” they know the plan exists, can see it's still active, but can't accidentally tamper.

  • Monitoring counterparty plans. Professional setups where one party's 10102 legacy is a contingency for another party's obligations.
