BLOCKCHAIN
Blockchain is more than cryptocurrency.
“Blockchain is a truth machine”
Blockchain enables enterprises to reduce that
intermediary.
Blockchain provides “transparency” distributed,
peer-to-peer ledger of records called blocks that
is virtually incorruptible. Every block links to a
previous block and has a time and date stamp. It
is self-managed and does not require
coordination from an intermediary.

fraud is intriguing, but we’re still in the very early
days of its exploration and implementation—on
the radar of innovative insurance industry
pioneers but not close to widescale adoption.”
