WHAT IS P2P INSURANCE?

Over years, insurance industry has transformed from a communitydriven risk sharing model into an adversarial model where large institutions dominate the industry.

The return on investments of such institutions often goes into managing the increasing frictional costs of running a centralized business or distributing dividends to the stakeholders – seldom does the return on investments reach the policy holders.

Traditional Insurance Model

Centralization, in any business model, comes with its own set of challenges like misaligned interests among stakeholders and lack of transparency. In the insurance industry, lack of cooperation within intermediaries results in significant frictional costs whereby about 35% of premium cost is often apportioned to operational expenses

With the advent of blockchain, the new global infrastructure that facilitates disintermediation and decentralisation, there’s an opportunity to build true peer to peer risk sharing economies at scale, such that people are able to trust other people without knowing each other. P2P Insurance, powered by blockchain, allows a community to administer policies, buy insurance, assess claims, underwrite risk all among the members of a community.

CUSTOMER CASE STUDY

“GovBlocks affords us a modular approach to governance that can be easily changed if necessary. We can tweak voting weights, rewards, quorum levels, virtually all components of the governance process... GovBlocks actually enables us to deliver on our goal of building a living breathing organism that can be fully controlled by its members”

Hugh Karp

Founder, Nexus Mutual

Context:

Nexus Mutual is building a decentralised alternative to Insurance which will entrust upon the members of Nexus Mutual a crucial role in governing the operations of the mutual.

The Challenges:

  • ensure high and active member participation
  • allow for upgradability in smart contracts
  • minimise any centralisation within the mutual

How GovBlocks helped:

  • to promote active member participation in decision making, Nexus Mutual configured GovBlocks to allow token rewards for voting
  • to achieve upgradability, each decision point was made configurable and could be altered depending on the needs of the community
  • to reduce the elements of centralised power sitting with the board, any member was allowed to raise a proposal to replace an advisory board member

INDUSTRY SPEAK

“I have been watching the development of this (GovBlocks) solution with great interest. Ish and his team are proving themselves to be both innovative and determined - a terrific combination! I wish them more on-going successes.”
