Below is an excerpt of Amity’s summary of the Etherisc ICO Whitepaper:
What is the Etherisc ICO?
Etherisc is a decentralized insurance protocol designed to build insurance products collectively. Etherisc uses blockchain technology to increase efficiency and thus cut costs and ideally increase payouts with the insurance scheme. The project aims to offer insurance against flight delays, hurricanes, cryptocurrency losses through theft, collateral protection on crypto-backed loans, crop insurance, social insurance, and more. The flight delay app is reportedly the first decentralized insurance scheme and is fully licensed and live with 100 paying customers on the app. The protocol enables anyone to come along and build and initiate their own insurance applications in an effort to increase the fairness and transparency of the insurance sector, rebalance the amount of money received by insurance companies compared to the user funds spent on insurance policies, enable lower operational costs, and make the purchase and sale of insurance more efficient.
