  • Publication number: 20240412295
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes creating a premiums escrow, with a zero balance, for a group of policyholders and managed using a distributed ledger and self-executing agreement. At a term beginning, the self-executing agreement receives premium payments sing cryptocurrency from each policyholder and allocates the premium payments to the premiums escrow. During the term the self-executing agreement receives a notification of an incident claim associated with a claimant policyholders. At a term end, the self-executing agreement receives payment instructions from the policyholders; pays, using cryptocurrency from the premiums escrow, the claimant an incident claim payment larger than the premium payment and determined according to the payment instructions; and distributes to the policyholders a rebate payment equal to or lower than the premium payment from the premiums escrow, which returns to a zero balance.
