Market Insights
In order to see what is on offer, and gain an understanding of the market, a rich and powerful dashboard gives you a real-time view.
TECHNOLOGY
The InsureX architecture is a cutting edge stack consisting of React, NodeJS, Ethereum Blockchain and OrientDB.
Blockchain Technology
Our marketplace leverages blockchain technology which offers all participants consistent, shared and secure processes. The nature of the decentralised blockchain allows a completely trustless interaction between parties which removes third party costs and commissions. Our platform leverages the Ethereum blockchain which makes it easier for external developers wishing to contribute without having to familiarise themselves with yet another blockchain implementation.

High-Performance Storage
In order to process certain transactions, private and confidential information is required to be stored and exchanged. Our storage is a secured NoSQL data fabric. It compliments the blockchain network by providing fast access to different data such as medical records or other confidential information.
Multiple levels of security, external authentication and strong usage profiling are included.

Application Stack
The UI is implemented using React which is fast and responsive. We use a Node.js backend which handles most of the business logic. The React and Node.js combination has proven to be a very fast, lightweight and robust approach. The UI renders on tablets and phones and as part of our roadmap we’re developing a mobile app, in order to take advantage of the native phone and tablet capabilities.

Opportunities:
The project has some strong team members and advisors, including the Chief Underwriter for General Re in Europe. Gen Re is one of the largest insurance companies in the world with $5.6 billion of premium in 2016. It is also a member of the Berkshire Hathaway group of companies. If Gen Re becomes one of the first companies to use InsureX’s platform, it can be a lot easier for other insurance companies to follow suit.
There is a genuine need for decentralized platform to improve efficiency of the entire process in the insurance industry. The insurance industry is currently manual, paper heavy, slow, and error-prone, which allows a lot of room for blockchain technology to disrupt the industry.
There is a network effect in play for this project – the bigger this platform is, the more attractive it is for other insurance companies to join the marketplace.
The project doesn’t really have a direct competitor now: Etherisc can be complementary to InsureX’s platform. ACORD’s partnership with R3 can be complementary to InsureX’s platform and InsureX has a strong connection to R3.
Lemonade is B2C vs. InsureX’s B2B focus.
Concerns:
The project is nothing but an idea now – there is no completed product to show for. Even if everything goes according to plan, they won’t begin signing up clients until Q4 2017. You need to trust that the team will be able to deliver.
The CEO of InsureX is also listed as the founder of another startup, Finserve. It is unclear how he will allocate his time between the two ventures.
Conclusion:
Overall, I like this ICO, both for short- and long-term potential. InsureX is tackling a big problem that needs to be fixed and if successful, token value can appreciate substantially.
Our thoughts of the tokens for short term and long term are as follows:
For short-term holding:
Good because the project has some strong team members and advisors, which should make it easy to attract funding to fill the hard cap quickly. Note that tokens will be distributed 3-4 weeks after the end of token sale, which is longer than the average ICO.
For long-term holding:
As mentioned above, the potential is great, but execution is key and it is unclear from what we see now.
If the team is able to deliver, I believe the InsureX platform can scale dramatically which is great for the long-term value of IXT. I see IXT as more of a high-risk-high-return type token.
