Application scenario analysis of blockchain in insurance industr

1.

Ten instry application scenarios of blockchain are listed on Oracle's website, including finance, proction, ecation, media, entertainment, government, retail business, health, medical care, supply chain, insurance and public utilities. Is it very tall? But what I want to say is that these application scenarios, in front of real high-energy blockchain applications, can only hide in the corner and shiver

now the real high-energy application scenario of blockchain is Ponzi application, commonly known as "Ponzi scheme". It is a smart contract type Qianbao, a blockchain game for rolling in and out of money, an ICO for trading, and a global pension platform

Ponzi scheme is one of the oldest application scenarios of our human beings. After Internet plus, the Ponzi scheme has upgraded the Internet + "Internet plus Ponzi scheme". The Internet enabled the Ponzi scheme, so there was an event similar to the 10 billion level of Qianbao. Before the Internet era, there were few Ponzi schemes on such a large scale. They were enabled through the Internet, and paid through mobile app. Finally, they rolled for several years and reached the 10 billion level

the Internet has broken the geographical restrictions, physical restrictions, capital flow restrictions and communication restrictions. As long as you have a mobile phone, you can play Qianbao app. Everyone participates in it, everyone gets into the money, and everyone gives out the money. According to the data of the people involved, it has reached the level of one million. Relatively speaking, the online pyramid scheme (Ponzi scheme 1.0), which still stays on the top of the list, has meetings every day, can't stop brainwashing, and uses violence and illegal means. It's simple and weak. With the rise of blockchain technology, the Ponzi scheme enabled by "blockchain +" can no longer be described as adding wings like a tiger. It is like a chicken changing into a tiger. Like the Internet, the "block chaining +" technology is a solid application to enhance the application scenario. Ponzi's fraud is further upgraded in the two generation of the Internet plus, because of the major improvement and improvement of the scene, turning into Ponzi scheme 3, whose characteristics are mainly in the following aspects:

1, centralization and no summit. The smart contract of blockchain runs automatically, and it does not need human intervention, nor can it be interrupted by human. Code rules are dead and cannot be tampered with. In terms of scene improvement, it solves the biggest pain point of Ponzi scheme for thousands of years, that is, the problem of head running away. Because the head is a program and code, the program of blockchain can exist forever, and no one can delete it. I think this is the biggest breakthrough. This virtual leader is always there. He can't run away, he can't run, he can't change. The rules will never change. He will stick to the Ponzi line for 100 years, 1000 years and 10000 years. It may be said that smart contracts can be iterated, and they can also be manipulated to leave a back door. Yes, but it can be done without iteration. Even if iteration is transparent and visible, it can be seen at a glance with a back door. This is the characteristic of the blockchain smart contract. If you cheat on it, you will get out a under the teacher's eyes. No one will participate in such a smart contract when it is online. Therefore, after technical review and verification, there is no backdoor, fair rules and irreversible smart contract, which can be realized by using blockchain technology. Such reliability, once verified, will never change. This is the certainty of the smart contract. A program or a character's code will not change. It will run one million times and one trillion times, and the result will be consistent and certain

2. The process was transparent. The number, address, account number, amount and time of deposit; Number, address, account number, amount and time of payment; All visible. Blockchain has a public ledger function, which can be viewed by everyone in the world, and the ledger data viewed by everyone is completely consistent. Why does Qianbao burst? Because we can't see his background account, how much money he goes in and how much money he comes out every day, and the details of each transaction. In this way, you can see the assessment of cashing ability before you pay in, and the assessment result is absolutely certain, that is, it will not change after you pay in

3. Complete anonymization. If you've ever heard of zero proof of knowledge. This part can be skipped. In short, some of the things we used to have in the mathematical knowledge base did not have application scenarios after many inventions. Later, it was found that it was easy to use these knowledge for anonymization. The cryptography technology in the blockchain can achieve identity hiding. As we all know, Zhihu can't achieve anonymity in a real sense in terms of technical structure, and blockchain can

The rules are open and fair to all. One yuan in gold, ten yuan in rebate. Everyone is the same rule. It will never change. If you pay one yuan, go to the front and pay for it, then the back will pay for it, and then pay for it. Fair, right? I have reflected on this many times, and I think it is fair

5. Sustainable iteration. In the low-level Ponzi scheme, the leader, proct designer, benefit distributor and benefit receiver are often four in one, while the blockchain Ponzi scheme can completely logically separate the four roles. Achieve sustainable iteration. Through collaboration based on socialization, these projects can be iterated on forever. There are now 400 senior engineers who are developing around bitcoin and constantly updating the code. These people can not know anyone. As long as the application is valuable, they can continue to iterate. Which centralized project can be achieved? Even bat level companies can't employ so many professionals scattered around the world. This kind of social iteration is not affected by the changes of a specific person or organization

"blockchain" enabled Ponzi scheme uses different range of blockchain technology, because the technology in this field is still constantly updated, and the application of smart contract has only increased in the past two years. The earliest application of blockchain is bitcoin. Some people think that bitcoin itself has the characteristics of Ponzi scheme. In 2013, I wrote a reply and implicitly pointed out that this new type of Ponzi scheme will have great lethality, because it has the characteristics of no head, open account book, no running away, open and fair rules. Later, I also found that many people around me like Ponzi scheme much more than blockchain technology. As soon as I hear that bitcoin is not a Ponzi scheme, before I start talking about blockchain technology, I usually walk away in silence. On the contrary, you tell him it's a Ponzi scheme, and then they will ask, where can I buy it? Of course, there is a lot of controversy about whether bitcoin is a Ponzi scheme, because the practical application scenarios of bitcoin have been expanding

in the ICO boom, there are a lot of air coins, such as the bogus Ponzi scheme, which has no application scenarios. The buyers probably know that these air coins are Ponzi schemes, but they buy them because the packaging is good. It is estimated that there are hundreds or thousands of such air coins. The scope of the case is all over the world, and the amount involved is more than 10 billion. These ICOS use smart contracts for subscription and distribution, and then circulate in the secondary market by themselves. In this case, there is no guarantee that the money will be paid out, and some people will lose all their money. Many people, blockchain professionals, have always wanted to draw a clear line with these applications, because although these air coins use part of the blockchain technology, they are still a centralized organization or indivial behind them. There are few network nodes, and users directly converge to a certain organization or indivial when they are paid (so they will be swept away), but there is no doubt that, Air money still uses blockchain to make money and raise funds, which solves part of the problem of running away and improves the scope and communication ability of Ponzi scheme. This is an objective situation

and from this year, with the development of technology, the Ponzi scheme, which uses smart contracts to achieve more decentralization, began to surface. Smart contract locking is used for fund in and fund out to complete a complete closed loop of fund in, fund subscription and fund out. It can already be a very pure blockchain application. Some blockchain games can freely admit that they are a Ponzi game after their release. He said: you see, the rules are transparent, the code is visible, the gold entry contract is locked, they can't run away, no one intervenes, and the gold is automatically paid. Early play, early gain. This is a key breakthrough. It's a way to publicly admit that you are a Ponzi scheme, which can't be done by Ponzi scheme 1.0 and Ponzi scheme 2.0 before. Great. It's simple and rough

this solves the major obstacles in the promotion process of Ponzi scheme, which used to rely on brainwashing, but now it depends on code. You see, "this program doesn't run on its own. There's no back door in it, right? Is the leader gone? The capture of Nakamoto does not affect the continued implementation of the program, does it Therefore, the first batch of blockchain Ponzi scams are hooked by code farmers who can understand the code, and then these code farmers stand up again and say that after technical verification, it is really such an effect, driving other people who do not read the code to join

in addition to realizing the Ponzi scheme application scenarios of entertainment, gambling and fraud, blockchain also has the opportunity to make a big show in the Ponzi scheme application scenarios involving the national economy and the people's livelihood and public utilities, which can even greatly enhance people's sense of gain and happiness, and actually improve people's life. For example, the application of national or global public pension platform based on blockchain can solve several major drawbacks of pension: fund misappropriation. The account book is open, the funds are not centralized and locked, and no one can unlock it, except the recipients who meet the rules can pay out the money. There is no possibility of misappropriation

2. Inflation. The current pension system adjusts the coefficient every year according to a series of complex algorithms such as inflation. After adjustment, the recipients are often dissatisfied because the total amount has increased, but the purchasing power has decreased. Using the feature that virtual currency can't be issued, we can control the inflation rate and ensure that we get real money

3. Unpredictable problems. It is very difficult for us to predict the pension payment after 30 years, and we can predict it in advance through smart contract. Stimulate the enthusiasm of paying

4. Policy loopholes and fairness. There will be unfairness in the diversification of groups that any pension policy faces. Everyone wants to pay less and get more, pay later and raise earlier. The transparency of blockchain is refined to each account, rather than a set of general policies to plug the loopholes in the implementation process. Everyone is the same, pay more, pay earlier, pay earlier. It can even be inherited and never lost

this has greatly reced the burden and cost of the state's pension management. What the existing pension system can do, after using the blockchain technology, can still be done, such as the state subsidies, just pay money into the contract, lock it in, there will be no fake, such as compulsory payment, and every record is real and traceable. In a word, all the existing systems and rules can be linked to the chain. On the basis of not affecting the existing effect, the efficiency and output level are improved, and fairness is guaranteed. Moreover, because the cost of the huge management system is reced, the absolute number that everyone can get may be increased by a large part. This has played a real effect on improving people's lives, and also has a positive effect

2. Because the digital currency, which is the first generation of blockchain technology, has a huge impact on the financial field, the research and application of blockchain technology has become an important task in today's financial field. In essence, blockchain technology still belongs to a kind of technical means and tools. Its application in the financial field and the real economy is parallel. It has its own relative independence, but it also has a certain degree of intersection. That is to say, its role in promoting the real economy is indirect. 1. No matter in finance or entity, one of the bases of transaction between supply and demand is trust. The current bank to enterprise, enterprise to enterprise and enterprise to person are all linked by money. With the further popularization and wide application of blockchain technology, enterprises and enterprises, or indivials can issue digital currency (Digital credit) by themselves in the future, and the status of banks will change from monopoly operation to equal competition operation in the market. Therefore, the wide application of blockchain technology in the financial field has an indirect impact on the real economy. 2. Blockchain technology is the bridge between reality (entity) and virtual world. Through blockchain technology, the real world can be reconstructed, reconstructed and redefined in the virtual world. For example, the digital currency of real paper money in the virtual world, the digital stock transaction of real stock transaction in the virtual world, the digital settlement, digital customs clearance, digital documents and bills of real import and export trade in the virtual world can greatly improve the efficiency of business process and save the transaction cost. At present, all transactions are inseparable from the bank. The bank plays a central role in the transaction. The application of blockchain technology by the bank will certainly improve the efficiency of its settlement and indirectly promote the efficiency of the real economy, but this impact will graally weaken in the future. Because the biggest feature of blockchain technology is decentralization, its distributed accounting system is a network system without center. 3. In fact, the application of blockchain technology is to value and credit the information flowing on the Internet. Through the blockchain, the information with (use value, exchange value, cultural value) in the Internet is reorganized and newly constructed to form a value Internet. It is of great significance. It will bring revolutionary promotion to both the financial instry and the real economy.

3. To answer this question, let's first introce the core technology of blockchain and the current insurance instry<

Introction to the core technology of blockchain
blockchain mainly solves the trust and security problems of transactions, so it proposes four technological innovations to solve this problem:
the first one is called distributed ledger, which is that transaction bookkeeping is completed by multiple nodes distributed in different places, and each node records complete accounts, Therefore, they can participate in the supervision of the legitimacy of the transaction, but also can jointly testify for them. Different from the traditional centralized accounting scheme, no single node can record accounts separately, so as to avoid the possibility that a single bookkeeper is controlled or bribed to record false accounts. On the other hand, because there are enough accounting nodes, in theory, unless all nodes are destroyed, the accounts will not be lost, thus ensuring the security of the account data
the second is called symmetric encryption and authorization technology. The transaction information stored on the blockchain is public, but the account identity information is highly encrypted, which can only be accessed under the authorization of the data owner, thus ensuring the data security and personal privacy
the third mechanism is called consensus mechanism, which is how to reach a consensus among all accounting nodes to determine the validity of a record. This is not only a means of identification, but also a means of preventing tampering. Blockchain proposes four different consensus mechanisms, which are suitable for different application scenarios and achieve a balance between efficiency and security. Taking bitcoin as an example, the workload proof is adopted. Only when more than 51% of the accounting nodes in the whole network are controlled can a nonexistent record be forged. When there are enough nodes to join the blockchain, this is basically impossible, thus eliminating the possibility of fraud
the fourth technical feature is called smart contract, which is based on these trusted and tamperable data and can automatically execute some pre-defined rules and terms. Take insurance as an example. If everyone's information (including medical information and risk occurrence information) is true and reliable, it is easy to carry out automatic claim settlement in some standardized insurance procts<

risk management of policyholders
in the current insurance business, disputes between insurance companies and policyholders occur from time to time, either the policyholders provide false personal information to defraud insurance, or there are differences in the determination of exemption clauses when settling claims. The key to these problems lies in the lack of a real and reliable data collection and storage means for the personal information of the insured
with the advancement of national systematic projects such as medical information digitization and personal credit system, more and more authoritative data sources appear. If these data can be introced and stored on the blockchain, it will become the digital identity of everyone. The data above is authentic, can't be tampered with, real-time synchronization and life-long validity, It will bring great benefits to the risk management of the insured
the first is to get through the data between different companies and refer to each other, so as to discover the information of repeated insurance and historical claims in time, and discover high-risk users in time
secondly, introcing data from different instries into the blockchain can improve the accuracy and efficiency of underwriting and claims verification. For example, if you can query all the medical records of the insured, even the medical records of the immediate family members, on the blockchain, you will have first-hand information about the current physical condition, disease history and family history of the insured, effectively eliminating the insurance with diseases
for example, at present, China's first network mutual aid platform using blockchain technology as the core is concentric mutual aid. On the basis of traditional mutual aid platform, with the help of blockchain technology, it realizes decentralized information sharing, innovates and realizes comprehensive and transparent operation, and builds a fair, just, open, safe and efficient open mutual aid information service platform for the public.

4. The problem of insurance fraud has always been the malpractice of the traditional insurance instry. Whether it is the malicious deception of the insured or the insurance institutions using asymmetric information to cheat the insured, these are the problems that exist in the insurance instry and are difficult to solve

if the blockchain technology is combined with the insurance instry, and the openness and transparency of the blockchain technology are used, the fraud caused by information asymmetry will be effectively prevented. It can also make use of the characteristics of blockchain technology, such as non tampering and traceability, to effectively save the contract terms and provide a real and reliable basis for claims settlement

Insurance and blockchain

and in blockchain insurance, there is no need to pay a lot of enterprise operating costs. In the traditional insurance, the use efficiency of funds is very low. If it is changed to blockchain insurance mode, the insured amount will be extremely low but the claim amount will be extremely high

the above are the advantages of blockchain insurance. I hope we can help you understand why blockchain insurance is attached great importance.

5. Although the application of blockchain technology in the insurance instry is mostly in the stage of technical verification, the rapid development of application scenarios indicates that the technology will bring transformative impact to the insurance instry. Some IT giants, such as Microsoft, IBM, Oracle, Alibaba and Tencent, have begun to lay out in the blockchain field, and some have even launched procts or services based on blockchain technology
according to the in-depth analysis report on business model innovation and investment opportunities of China's blockchain instry published by foresight Instry Research Institute, at present, the application of blockchain in the insurance instry at home and abroad mainly includes the following categories: the first category is to use blockchain technology to complete insurance contracts according to the established rules when a certain condition is triggered, such as flight delay insurance, flight delay insurance, etc Unemployment insurance, etc; The second is reinsurance and coinsurance. In the transaction matching and settlement of reinsurance and coinsurance business, blockchain is used to enhance the efficiency and transparency of transaction and settlement; The third type is used to track the proction / growth process of commodities. The traceable characteristics of blockchain are used to track the breeding process of agricultural procts or the proction and circulation of valuables
in the long run, the application of blockchain in the insurance instry is likely to bring revolutionary and disruptive changes e to its broad development prospects and numerous business convergence points.

6.

Blockchain technology also has incomparable advantages in the insurance instry. From the perspective of data management, the application of blockchain technology can effectively improve the risk management and control ability of insurance companies, including the risk supervision of insurance companies and the risk management of policyholders

The application of

blockchain technology in insurance instry can strengthen the internal risk supervision of insurance companies. Blockchain technology can record the daily operation process of insurance company on the node, realize the in-process control of the company's capital flow, investment situation, compensation amount and other business, and improve the company's risk management and control ability

in addition, the blockchain technology is safe, reliable and can not be tampered with at will, which ensures that the information obtained by the policyholder is true and effective, and enhances the risk management ability of the policyholder
