Litentry Partners with InsurAce to empower DeFi insurance with DID Technology
Announcing our strategic partnership with InsurAce, both teams will be working together to explore the application of decentralized identity technologies in the decentralized insurance use cases.
Although DeFi insurance leveraging on the blockchain technology has proven to be effective and useful, it can be further improved if more identity information can be applied to tackle some of the challenges.
Challenges in decentralized insurance protocol
Although blockchain technology can prevent the identity profile from being monitored, its pseudo-anonymous nature creates additional issues which compromise user’s experience and fail to meet legal requirements.
Examples are:
- Insurance protocol is not able to identify humans from a tremendous amount of anonymous addresses.
- They cannot detect suspicious users such as hackers and money-launderers which may lead to fraud activities.
- They cannot assess users’ risk profiles to customize insurance premiums for individuals.
- They cannot monitor user behavior on a continuing basis and therefore cannot optimize risk management strategy.
Litentry’s DID technology to empower insurance protocol
Under this partnership, Litentry will provide a privacy-computation-based KYC/AML identity service to InsurAce, the purpose is to verify the identity of its clients and assess their suitability, along with the potential risks of illegal intentions towards the business relationship. The data is signed by third party institutes, and could be verified by providing zero knowledge proof This will make sure one can perform computation and analysis of users' data without compromising privacy.
Moreover, InsurAce will integrate Litentry’s innovative DID aggregation API and computation model, which will help them to better understand on-chain behaviors of insurance buyers and hence their risk profile. This risk profile would be used to set premiums for different users based on sophisticated algorithms.
