Cryptocurrency is no doubts the in-thing, particularly in this new dispensation. A number of industries are even experiencing immense growth to a large extent because they subscribed to the details of blockchain technology within the cryptocurrency platform. Interestingly, the passage of a new day produces new cryptocurrencies and each of them has a special task to cater to. In other words, there are certain problems underlying some industries which cryptocurrency can largely take care of by providing appropriate solutions.
Why GRE Foundation?
The Global Risk Exchange Foundation or GREF is another service provider within the blockchain ecosystem. Like the rest of other cryptocurrencies, GRE is decentralized and is an open global risk exchange market. The purpose of GRE basically is to help individuals, companies and organizations to access, trade and manage their risks. The truth is, everybody has some risks to handle or manage. Certainly, the risk or uncertainty is one thing we cannot avoid as individuals, organizations and society at large and we as humans are shaped by our recognition and management of the risks. Some of the general problems with the traditional risk management market, which GRE targets in solving are; centralized product design and risk pricing that leads to product homogenization, high sales channel cost and low cash efficiency, low operating efficiency, user privacy protection, misleading policy sales and insurance fraud, moral hazard. Others are counter-party risk and credit risk, market panic leading to the liquidity crunch.
What brings by GRE platform
GRE is brought up to support insurance and some other derivative transactions within the blockchain ecosystem with its completely reconstructed traditional risk management tools. This is done in a decentralized way with the aim of building an infrastructure and trading platform for risk management industry.
Specifically, GRE is needed by three categories of individuals or organizations, namely:
- The insured: The ones who want to buy risk management contract to hedge their risks
- Contract Designer: The ones who make provision for professional risk management expertise in GRE community and can also publish risk management contracts after the community has reviewed. In turn, they get paid (earn some fees) on the basis of transaction fees generated from trading the contract.
- Insurer: The insurance and re-insurance companies and investors who earn premiums from the risk management contract.
