Welcome to the Reinsurance-Network wiki!

Simple blockchain definition

A blockchain is essentially a ledger of records, of digital events, shared/distributed among many different parties. It can only be updated by consensus of a majority of the participants in the system. And, once created, information can never be altered. The blockchain contains a certain an verifiable record of every single transaction ever made.

Benefits

Some of the benefits that a blockchain platform could provide in a reinsurance network are :

  • A single version of an asset, thanks to the sharing/distributed ledger. These assets are then wrapped in the form of smart contract. For example, assets could be risk, technical or financial account, claim.
  • A decrease of times in the accounting and settlements
  • Improvement in the operational cost, as a lot of time, is currently spent by organizations on reconciliation
  • Automation through smart policy
  • Efficient exchange of information
  • Reduced fraud loss

Use case

The use case we are going to build is a claim processing for a Reinsurance Organization. As a Reinsurance organization, I would like to see the finance related status of claims requested by my cedents As a Cedent organization, I would like to see the real-time status of every claims.
