How Insurance and Blockchain Fit

Insurance is a multitrillion-dollar industry, but the workflow in brokering trust, insuring parties and reinsuring risk items today remains an expensive, slow and fraud-prone process. Although the digital age has inevitably brought about technological innovations, the centuries-old insurance industry seems to still be heavily drowning in paperwork and redundant manual procedures. Layered with the required collaboration from a multitude of parties needed to execute certain industry tasks like enforcing policies, processing claims, underwriting contract items or drawing up contracts, the insurance process remains far from transparent, coordinated or secure.
