Insuring the risks of new technologies. These guidelines have been written in order to help underwriters in approaching and assessing blockchains for the purpose of insurance. They cover blockchain risks, underwriting considerations, and underwriting tools.

This industry report looks at how blockchain technology will increase security and reduce operational costs in the aviation leasing industry, specifically in three key areas: Letters of credit, digitization of aircraft records and parts tracking, and registry of aircraft ownership.

This white paper introduces the concept of “decentralized brand economies,” and demonstrates how blockchain technology can be leveraged to build an experiential engagement infrastructure.

Part 3 of the ConsenSys Research Interoperability Series. Originally delivered as a talk at Devcon V, this article identifies and quantifies metrics of decentralization on the Ethereum mainnet with visualizations and robust data.

Part 2 of the ConsenSys Research Interoperability Series (Part 1: Avoiding Blockchain Balkanization). A look at the longstanding dangers of protocol maximalism and the improbability of one blockchain arising as universally superior. This article situates the “settlement” argument—the viewpoint that the future will be comprised of a multitude of different blockchains, all of which are underpinned by a maximally-decentralized protocol.

Part 1 of the ConsenSys Research Interoperability Series. A historical look at the evolution of the Internet and the emergence of siloed and disparate protocols. This piece explores early industry warnings about the dangers of balkanization and looks at the blockchain industry’s worrisome adoption towards a similar mindset.
