[NEWS] Etherisc Smart Contracts for Disrupting Parametric Insurance

[Vladdirescu87]

Insurance companies are always searching for the best ways to serve their customers. They have to be efficient, to give access to consumers and investors, but at the same time have to lower costs.

At the Blockchain Startup Contest, we learned of Etherisc - a decentralized insurance application.

Coinidol’s correspondent reached out to Dr. Stephan Karpischek about the experimental project Flight Delay Dapp and presents his answers to our readers.

We picked out the most interesting topics and hope you’ll enjoy the read. You can find the link to the whole AMA at the end of the blog.

Any deadline for registering for the Token Generating Event?

And a warning from me: There are many fake identities in the official Telegram group that try to steal your ETH. Got messaged multiple times...

Disrupt the Industry, Not the Incumbents
Christoph Mussenbrock participated in a panel at Blockchain Expo 2018 in London and struck a balance in his remarks between disruption and cooperation.


The panel focused on understanding what opportunities, as well as threats, the blockchain technology has in store for the insurance sector. Christoph took the view that parametric insurance from companies like Etherisc is disruptive to the traditional insurance industry in the long term, but should be complementary in the short term.

Noting that Etherisc aims at creating an environment where “people can build their own insurance products,” Christoph affirmed a vision in which “people can act without an intermediary.” He added that “this is a shift of control from insurance companies to customers, and lets customers have a better experience, with more transparency and fairness.”

I tried to register for the TGE. It just happen that the KYC provider IDnow can only validate passports issued after 2012. Mine is 2011 and is still valid until 2021.

How to proceed?
