US-based blockchain-powered insurtech Otonomi has teamed up with Greenlight Re Innovations (GRI) to launch a platform for parametric cargo insurance.

The programme is aimed at bridging the $10bn gap left by global supply chain delays across sectors, noted Otonomi.
Traditional cargo delay insurance combined with platform technology is expected to offer solutions such as scalable event trigger mechanisms, programmatic policies and claims operations that use web3 smart contracts.
It will also offer algorithmic underwriting modelling that facilitates dynamic quoting and advanced risk management.
Otonomi CEO Yann Barbarroux said: “The US economy is showing signs of disinflation, but the effects of the global reset have continued to be felt across the supply chain.
