Ep 8: How Lemonade is using smart contracts to revolutionize crop insurance

Use Cases

About this episode

How smart are smart contracts? We will illustrate this with a fascinating use case as we explore how Lemonade Insurance is using smart contracts to revolutionize crop insurance. We will talk to Justin Gunnell, counsel at Sher Tremonte LLP who focuses on commercial litigation, as well as Roy Confino, Head of Strategy and Operations at Lemonade Foundation.

Some of the questions we go over are:

  • What is Lemonade? What is the Lemonade Foundation?

  • What is the Crypto Climate Coalition?

  • What are some of the ways that the blockchain solves the traditional cost and access problems?

  • What are oracles?

How smart are smart contracts then? They're smart in the colloquial sense of smart and sharp… Maybe they need to be called live contracts.

Hootenannies

Hootenannies are informal gatherings where folk musicians would jam in front of a crowd. In the same spirit, we like to bring together blockchain innovators, lawyers, technologists and policymakers for laid-back conversations on the regulatory landscape of Web3.
