Your product looks interesting and I really like the website. I'm going through the Tutorial and it is AMAZING. I like that you put in the time to make it game.

Do you think that your product would be useful for Insurance contracts on the Ethereum blockchain?

Thank you! Glad to hear that you enjoyed the tutorial.

There are numerous ways in which Dharma debt agreements can interface with insurance contracts:

1. We've already seen some members of our developer community working on trustless credit default swaps -- which are functionally insurance contracts that use the programmatic endpoints of Dharma debt agreements to assess claims on defaults. 2. For non-fully-collateralized insurance contracts, Dharma debt agreements can serve as the mechanism for tracking and administering the tokenized bonds that capitalize the insurance contract.
